 Maybe time for a new Battery?
Not sure how long the Spider batteries last but mine says Yuasas 03/2015. Thats the yr of the bike. Its had a battery tender on it most of its life Im thinkin. Anything I should know or look at before ripping that thing out? Seems like a good AGM battery would be best?

The OEM Yuasa is about the best AGM battery you can buy. Part number is YTX24HL and is made in USA. Do not buy a chinese junk battery or you will just be replacing it soon.

 however they are hard to find lately. I went with the yellow one on Lamonster Garage. Time will tell, but the Yuasa lasted 7 years for me.

I bought a Lithium for my BMW. Loved it. Very light weight. Great power and good life if maintained properly. You'll need a proper charger and they fade a bit in the cold if you do a lot of cold weather riding. Anti Gravity now has a line of Lithium Re-Start batteries that are pretty interesting. If you go lithium, just know they discharge VERY rapidly - so shorts can be dangerous. It's prudent to disconnect the ground when working on the bike.
