    Cool Issue with battery light on my 08 Spyder

    I have a 2008 Spyder. The low battery light keeps blinking. I’ve changed the voltage regulator. I’ve Changed the battery. Voltage tests show good voltage to the battery upon start up, idling and when giving it gas. The local Spyder dealership/repair shop can’t find anything. Does anyone have any idea?

    The ground connection. From the battery to the frame. Check both ends. The frame end rarely gets tightened.

    What voltage readings exactly ?
    The circuit that runs the warning light might not have a good connection.......or has failed.

    Default Bummer.....

    For sure check all connections... the voltage rectifier hopefully was bad though have found the culprit is usually the stator. You need to have that output checked as that will determine if you are getting the proper voltage to the battery. Not knowing more it is hard to say. Do you have battery problems like keeping charged etc. Have you had any electircal work done like lights, horn, LED's etc.
