    Default Flickering Dash on 2011 RT Touring

    Hello All - New to the Spyder family forum. I have a 2011 RT Touring. Have been riding weekly.
    I went to start yesterday, no start. Lights in dash just started flickering. Put battery charger on overnight.
    This morning all I got was flickering headlights. No Dash Lights.
    Thoughts?

    Check your voltage. May be time for a new battery.

    Your battery is shot. When the battery voltage drops below 10.5 volts, either when you hit the starter or before, you get the exact thing you're seeing.

    Sounds like the battery is getting ready to crash. If that's an original, it's past time. We do ours every three years whether they need it or not.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
