Battery

[Pirate looks at --]

Well we just got back from a non Spyder vacation and we had not started the poor beast for a little more than two weeks. I thought I would ryde in to work this morning as a treat. Got all suited up (ATGATT) and it would not quite turn over..........close but not quite (all lights worked so there is some battery life). I didn't want to push it so jumped into the car and drive into work. What can I do to get her started again?:banghead:

Boost it the same as you would a car. If it is pre 13 the battery can be boosted by lifting the seat, if it is 13 or newer you will need to boost inside the frunk, you owners manual will provide the information as well.

Good luck

Battery..!!

you will need to charge the battery. These machines like fully charged batteries. I would suggest getting the battery tested to make sure it will hold the charge don't know how old it is or what mods are on the bike. Many keep a battery tender on them if not ryding for extended periods. If you don't have a tender, or charger you can jump start it and take a long ryde to charge it up...good luck...:thumbup:

2013

Bought it in August of 2013 so not quite a year old. No electrical mods accept for Custom Dynamics third brake light. Will the battery tender charge it to the point that it will start. It is so close to starting right now it seems like it just needs a little boost.

Battery tender overnight and it should be good to go. A jump start if you are in a hurry.

Battery Tenders aren't designed to charge-up a dead battery... :shocked:
They're much better at keeping a healthy one.. healthy! :thumbup:
Do you have a regular charger, that you can turn down to a lower charging rate? I'd give it a couple of hours on one of those, and then hook it up to a Tender! :2thumbs:
