Won't Start

[Pirate looks at --]

This morning my wife went out to start the Spyder (2013 RTL), the engine seemed to be cranking OK but would not fire, any thoughts? the bike has 1/4 tank of gas, so that is not the problem????

Tough one..!!

It could be flooded. Try cranking the engine with the throttle wide open. Then start the normal starting proceedure. Hopefully that will be it otherwise you will have to check in a little deeper...:thumbup:

The same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. I finally got it started after about six tries. We went on a 100 mile ride and didn't shut it down until I got home, I tried to restart when I got home, and it started right up.
I did, however reseat the relays in the frunk and the prestart relay was a little loose. I haven't done any further research into the wiring diagrams to see if this could have been the source of the starting problem. Everything has worked normally since.

Glad to hear the problem is sol-ved. Sometimes, I think the :spyder2: does these things to us just to let us know who really is in charge. :roflblack:
