    Default apparently, it's the Spyder.....

    earlier this week, I had posted that I thought I had used up too much of the battery, causing the Spyder to not start....well, after four days on the charger, it wont start!! the first time I turned it on, I thought it was going to start, but instead, everything turned off........now it's all off....however, the battery is fully charged!!!! unless someone here can come up with a logical slution, it's going to the dealer next week!! I checked everything.......it's dead!! turn the key and nothing comes on dead!!!!

    Make sure that it is not in gear. If it is you need to depress the brake peddle to start and it will go into neutral. Scratched my head a few times with that and the kill switch before.

    Bad frame ground, faulty kill switch, bad relay, blown fuse, bad security module or key, bad clutch switch for SM or bad GPS for SE...the list goes on. You need a tech to systematically troubleshoot and find the fault. BUDS can help for some of it. This can't be done over the Internet...at least not without more information.
