Would the kill switch stop power completely? Try working on and off several times.
I am not that experienced with spyders so...….

If the screen does indeed light up........
Your kill switch is off.
OR it is in gear and you need to push on the brake.

Try your kill switch.

Yes I tried the kill switch, still nothing tried the spare key nothing. So went back later and it started up but the screen doesn't act right doesn't go to the mode screen it goes straight to the radio screen and you can't change modes to auxiliary or stations. I had my Chester replaced once before at 4293 miles it would go blank and reboot over and over . May have to bring it in for a check up. But thanks for all the suggestions ..

Spyders have a high initial power drain when starting …. if your Batt. is weak - it won't start …… have it load tested …… good luck ….. Mike hyea:

There have been a few folks that have had the mode button go bad. Sounds to me that is your problem. Dealer can plug in their laptop and check the mode button function. The left handlebar controls may need to be replaced.

Good luck

I also had a kill switch go bad, dealer replaced complete right handgrip cluster to fix. They were able to troubleshoot, determine the issue, and repeat the problem showing me how the tech could lean his body weight into turning the kill switch into the run position and get the bike to start. New switch, no problems since...
