[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

i went to start my bike this morning & nothing happened. gets to start mode, lights on but nothing. no
clicking as if battery is dying, tried with brake depressed, checked kill switch but nothing at all. going to have
it towed in but does anyone have a clue what it could be? my dealer doesn't open until 10am

It still might be the battery... :shocked:

i check kill switch before i start & i always leave bike in neutral.

[Peter Aawen]

Heard of some who had no joy trying to start without their foot on the brake even if the bike was in Neutral!! Might be worth a try... certainly won't hurt it ;)

I would try hooking up jumper cables from car to the bike and see if it starts then. May be just a bad battery.

start by jumping with car. This will tell you if its connections, starter switch or battery. Check main fuse and the rest while your there. Hope its just loose connections...:thumbup:

check the kill switch? and if the bike is in gear need to step on brake to start.

Yea, Kill switch got me last week, almost panicked but backed up and thought it through.

Any luck getting started? :dontknow:

[Bob Denman]

:agree: :shocked: :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

If it is a low battery it will click and the screen will go blank. So not the battery. When you put your foot on the brake did the brake lights go on?

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

brake light goes on, i have no idea what it could be

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Try jumpstarting it... It couldn't hurt to try! :thumbup:

i have one of the anti gravity battery jump starters for cases just like this http://www.amazon.com/Antigravity-Batteries-AG-XP-5-USB-Port/dp/B00MYA6OCW/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1433439152&sr=8-8&keywords=antigravity+batteries it started my car with no problem with the battery stone dead

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

Mine does this from time to time. Take your key out and walk 15 or 20 ft. away from your bike. Return with the key and try to restart again. Mine did it this morning. Sometimes I just remove the key for 15 seconds and retry. If that fails, install a set of Seal Floorboards. You can then sit on your Spyder in comfort and contemplate the problem.
