I forgot to hook the 2012 Spyder RSS SE5 to the battery tender Friday night.
I manually rolled my bike out of the garage Sunday morning and parked it in my drive way for 5 minutes. I turned the key and the normal safety information popped on the cluster, then I hit the mode button and kill switch. Then I hit the starter button to start the bike and the cluster screen went blank and the Spyder did not start. It was completely dead.
I then push the bike back in to the garage and hooked the spyder to the tender. i allowed it to charge overnight. When I went out to check this morning (Monday). Still nothing...
even though the tender was green. I had to rush to work for a meeting, so I took my car to work.
When I get off work today. I will try to jump it and take the battery to get it checked out at Autozone or Oreillys.
Side note: I'm normally good with hooking the tender up as soon as I park it in the garage, so it charges every night. I already checked the battery terminal connection, fuses, relays and they all seem good.
The thing that scares me is that the bike will not power own. I would think with an overnight charge..there would be enough juice for the cluster to come on. But I think it is the original battery (Yuasa Yuam 7250H YTX24hl) may be toast or the battery tender. And I ride the bike almost everyday (rain, sun, cold, hot).
I went ahead and ordered a Lithium Iron Battery and it should be here by tomorrow.
Has anyone else had this issue? I did a search and noticed people that had battery problems could at least see info on their cluster or get the Spyder to at least attempt to turn over.
