Removing a battery from a 2008 Spyder

[Luciano]

Can anyone tell me how to remove the battery from my 2008 Spyder?

To remove the battery, you must remove the side panels. including the one abovethe rear tire. (8 torx screws) The instructions are in the manual, tools in the pouch. The manual is available online at the BRP spyder web site. Good Luck:2thumbs:

If I'm sitting on the bike,which side would thw battery be on?

The battery is under the Left rear side panel. If I remember correctly you have to start up front removing the tupperwear.

Just remembered there are some of those plastic rivet under the seat holding the Left rear panel in plsce. You have to pry out the center pin.

Sounds like you are new to the spyder world, they are a boat load of fun, a little fustrating at times but worth the learning curve. Yep, placing the battery where they did was not one of there better idea's.:shocked:

If you do a search for battery servicing on this thread yoy will come up with loads of information.

Welcome:yes::yes:

Here's what you do..!!

left side (sitting on the bike) remove the center panel (4) torx. Remove the left rear panel (1) torx (2) plastic rivets remove rear splash panel over rear wheel (7) torx disconnect turn signal wires remove negative (-) lead to battery then (+) lead unhook battery strap and remove battery. Battery is on it's side and is heavy. Little wiggling and you will get it out...think I got it all then just reverse the process...good luck..!! :thumbup:
