Anyone had to replace their Ryker Battery yet? What with?
Curious if anyone has had to replace your battery yet? If so what battery did you replace it with?

Yuasa YTX24HL. Amazon sells them. Easy to replace.

That may be the correct battery size for a spyder but this is the ryker section: YTX14L.
I'd recommend any factory sealed AGM battery; preferably vacuum-filled.

Back to part a of original question.
In Las Vegas, a quality AGM lasts about 2 years in car/truck.

If you have the first month of production Ryker (Sep 2018?), you may want to start the summer with a new battery.
What is voltage, key off?
What is voltage, while cranking? (10.5 vdc or more?)

my Ryker started also after the second winter "break" of around 100 days without any problem and without a charger - no reason to change it .. I use heated grips and a GPS - but no extra lightshow ..

Chris, keep in mind that the OP is from Arizona, probably southern Arizona, such as Phoenix, with high summer temperatures.
My batteries in Southern California, 25 miles from the ocean typically had a 3 year life; but only 2 years in Southern Nevada.
Cranking voltage provides a field load test.
As for your battery, starting after 100 days (14 weeks):
A lead acid can self-discharge as much as 1% per day.
However, an AGM, new, only discharges ~2%/month and an older one ~2%/week.
14 weeks x 2% = 28% discharge or 14 weeks x 1.5% = 21% discharge
With a 12.6 voltage read, that would be a 75% state of charge.
This is based upon a clean battery with no discharge terminal to terminal and no consumption by ECU/ECM, etc.
Be interesting to know the battery voltage with battery at rest before the key on/first started.

Pretty common size battery. And if you choose, lithium batteries are available in that size too.
