2013 RTL - Non Starting Spyder - any ideas?

[Drummer53]

I have a 2013 RTL. I started the bike and about 30 seconds went by and it died. I got back on the bike to restart it and when I pushed the start switch there was nothing. Earlier in the week I had smelled what seemed to be like an electrical smell or burning smell when I was sitting at idle. I have turned the bike off and let it fully reset and still have no starting abilities. When I hit the start switch - nothing! I do have power, lights etc. Does anyone have any idea as to what has happened? Thanks in advance.

I'd be looking for blown fuses &/or burnt out/non-functioning Relay's?! :dontknow:

Do you have a Glovebox or Workshop Manual for your Spyder?? The various fuse & relay types & uses are explained in there, so you could get a good idea of which will need checking from the manual... My guess, one of the main relays has died (that electrical smell ) & you'll need a new one, you should be able to match it from any auto elec outlet, BRP doesn't have a monopoly on anything about them, except maybe for the cost of those they sell!! :shocked:
