    Well here is a few ideas:
    Bad fuel, could have gotten rotten water contaminated fuel recently?
    The battery connections may be a bit loose. Battery condition??
    Did someone recently work on your Spyder???

    Good luck, Lew L

    How many miles on it? Has fuel filter been changed? Other than that I'll stick with Lew's questions.

    Could be one to the spark plug wire caps is loose and not completely snapped in.

    Happened to me in riding my 2020 RT first time home from dealer- rough side roads shook wire loose (at around 10 miles) that wasn't properly snapped in. I got Lucky: technician figured out the problem and was able to reach it (fixed in less than 15 minutes) and didn't have to tear the bike apart.

    That was an assembly line screw up.
