2014 RT Ltd Spyder with new battery won't start! Ideas?

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Hey Spyder Heads, just wanted to share my experience with my 2014 Spyder RT.

I've been having issues with the battery dying way faster than usual. I've just noticed a something - I'm now thinking the Bluetooth someway somehow is draining the battery. Either way, I'm sick of it dying out, and I'm hoping I've come up with a possible solution, as drastic as it may be!

I've decided I'll just disconnect the battery whenever I leave it overnight or on extended days when I may not drive it for whatever reason...

IDK what else to do, TBH!

If you have some sort of "quick dis-connect" on the battery, that's fine; but if you have to remove one of the battery leads down on the battery, that can be a problem .... could you dis-connect the "blue-tooth" instead? .....Mike :thumbup:

Is this an add on Bluetooth you are talking about? Simple to test - bike off; go to the Bluetooth section on your phone to see if it is still connected; if it is, you have found your problem.

This thread goes back to December 2021 and then one post in 2022 asking if the problem was ever solved. The OP has not been on site for a couple years.
