    Smile Not able to start Spyder

    We have a 2011 RTS & we tried to start it this a.m. When I turned it on everything worked fine until I hit the starter button & everything started to flash. Then nothing. Any suggestions???

    Dead battery classic symptoms. Jump start it or put a battery charger on it.

    Default Double check..!!

    surface charges are great..give the illusion that all is fine till you put a load on it. If the battery is not over 12.7 you will have problems cranking. Clicks are a good sign. Other possibility are ground straps, battery cables, fuses and relays. Recently some starters magnets have come loose and jammed the starter (but not likely). If possible load test the battery. I am assuming you followed the starting proceedure correctly..you know kill switch, brake, ignition etc...
