Won't start

Battery

This is exactly what my Spyder did this morning when I went out to ride in to work. It started on Wednesday evening and I let it sit in the driveway and idle for awhile since my husband and I were moving motorcycles around in the garage. Did we find out what was wrong with flaggerphil's by chance?

When I purchased the Spyder about 2 months ago, a new battery had been installed that month (June). Since I had to come to work, I won't be able to do anything with it until this afternoon when I get home. I do not have it on a battery tender since it doesn't sit for more than a day or two unridden. I guess I jinxed myself on Wednesday when I told my husband that I had read the 08/09 models didn't have many mechanical issues compared to some other models.

I replaced the original battery in my red 2009 rs in June! I wanted to know my Spyder would start on our trip to Johnson Creek for the Spyder Rendezvous put on by SOAR at Robs.

While we are doing all this checking and charging and jumping remember once you do get it started your Spyder charging system( or any other vehicle charging system for that matter) will not restore your battery 100%.You will have to put it on a real battery charger not a trickle charger or maintainer to bring it all the way back.
