    Thumbs up FIXED a dead Spyder

    So here we are at the Nor Cal NON- Rally near Fortuna,Ca. Beautiful North coast of Cal. After a tough Ryde to the "Lost Coast" ( rough and tough 100 mile loop) that shook the fillings out, a person in our group ( on an F-3) had a no start issue at a fuel station. She was just stuck. No close help.
    No dash lights so I knew what to do. Exposed the BATTERY and checked the terminals. OF COURSE ONE WAS LOOSE. A batt charge cable was added by the dealer---- and there ya go.
    Tightened them both( the other terminal was not tight either) and it started right up. She was a very happy camper.

    So when advice is given here about checking the battery and it's CONNECTIONS--- heed that advice.
