Hello everyone.
Guys, I need some help to find solution. I'm basically new can am spyder user and I'm sure is not only problem with my one.
I bought Spyder St limited 2013 not long time ago. Instaled new battery but the problem is with the battery drain. I can't even go outside the village bacause during the ride machine sniffing the electricity from battery so fast and the ride is ending on the side of the road. ������
I can't believe there is no stator.
Thanks a lot for any useful info.
Charging system is not working. Attach a volt meter to the battery terminals. Start the engine and rev it up to 3,000 rpm. The system voltage should be around 14 volts.
Thank you.
Do you know where to look for the issue maybe ?
Fuse, relay or any other part of electrical system or is the best option to find technician with computer. Its look like is common problem in spyders.
There is an RFB fuse by the jump posts at the junction box. But for all tests you really need the shop manual. There are stator and rectifier tests that need to be done.
Its showing 11.2 volt
Static at rest voltage should be no less than 12.6 volts.Quote:

Remove right panel from bottom. the rectifier is on top of the lower frame under steering box. With engine at 4,000 rpm.s, you should get 60 volt AC from each set of the three wires. Checking 1-2, 1-3,and 3-2. If any fail, the stator is bad. If all good, either fuse and or rectifier could be bad or a shorted or open wire.. There is a lot more detail in service manual.
If it is 11.2 volt is while the engine is running. The charging system is definitely not working. So if you have some mechanical skills or have access to someone who has. Get yourself a digital copy of the service manual. Not very expensive and it can be downloaded quickly depending on your internet speed. Do the tests outlined in the manual. It is highly likely that the stator has failed. But that is very expensive to fix. So it just makes sense to do the testing to make sure you are doing the correct repair.Quote:
