Check the battery connections and make sure the battery is charged.

Sorry to hear about your troubles.
I thought a 45 min. response time was pretty good actually.
Hope you get up and running soon.

connections look good, battery at 100%, could it be those relays?

Bad experience myself with PVM
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Teddy & I just left the MC Rally ourselves, saw another silver RS there, but not the owner.
I highly suggest Middletown Cycle up in Middletown off of I75 instead of PVM. Aarron is the owner, had it a few years now & is really turning the business around & will do what he can to earn your business if you give him the chance.
If there's anything Teddy & I can do to help, just let us know. Locals gotta take care of each other

Could be a relay but I had my battery on the voltage tester test fine but the bike would not start. It did the same type of thing yours did, changed the battery and all has been good for over a year. Not saying its def your battery but the stock Yuasa batterys are crap, I have 3 other power sports machines that use them and they all failed. I went with the Odyssey batteries on all my stuff and I will never look back.

A voltage test on a battery can only indicate that a battery might be good or is definitely bad. A load test is the better way to tell if a battery is good. That monitors the battery voltage while its put under a load to see if it still is supplying enough voltage to crank the engine.

Sounds like a bad connection or a shorted out battery.

I agree check the voltage. I can't remember the number but I think I was told that the spyder needs at least 12.4v to fire up. My battery was shown 12.2 and I had to replace it, but I did keep it as a spare for the jetski or quad.

well after 5 minutes and a $110 dollar tow bill it turned out to be some corrosion on the positive connection on the battery..oh well lesson learned I also got an update done at the shop while i was there..at least Nationwide is paying $100 dollars of my tow bill..thank god for insurance.

I am the one that worked on your spyder today. I am glad it was an easy fix. Later
