I just purchased the same MotoBatt battery in your video. I spent hours trying to install it, before I gave up. I found your video, and now I know why I couldn't get the new battery to fit. I'm sure I will be able to install it now. However, the allen screws that came with the battery are useless. I couldn't tighten them with the enclosed allen wrench without the wrench slipping and rounding out the screw head, so I went to the hardware store and purchased some new M6 screws. Thanks for a very informative video!.
I got my MotoBatt and Sosche jumper today, installed with your tips. Thanks! I cannot believe how tiny the factory battery was (2021 Spyder RT). It died before the bike was 1 year old and would no even jump with the battery pack I use on my car. I also put it on a tender every time I parked it. So, I think I am in fine shape now thanks to you, Bob!
I'm getting a 2023 Spyder RT Limited in 3 weeks and I'm learning a s*** ton of information from your awesome vids. A general tip I learned with recreational vehicles is to do ALL repairs using the tools in your "travel tool bag". You find out FAST what you're missing in the bag while in the comfort of your garage/shop. Sure, the very rare 'big' tools might not be in your "travel tool bag" but the method of using what you'd have on the road has been an enlightenment with my tear drop camper and truck. Keep up the good work coach! You're saving all of us caught in the Spyder web so much time and adding more enjoyment to owning Spyders.
Get a 36mm combo wrench and cut it in half. It’s needed to loosen and tighten your rear wheel axle bolt. You can loosen the muffler side nut with the open end half and without removing the cotter pin. You can then adjust belt tension and alignment. You only need to remove the cotter pin if you plan to remove the nut and/or bolt completely.
Funny story: I bought the SAME battery and unveiled it on my channel last night. May do an install video on it this afternoon. It’s a little different on the F3 (I think) and hoping the extra terminals work! I’ll leave a card for your install video for the RT folks.
Thanks brother. The rear terminals will work when I get the little terminal add ons. I will order those this week through Lamonster. Can't wait to see your video.
Hah, never heard of this battery before today, and now I've see this battery twice today, the other on RJ's video. So when the time comes, I now know what battery to get. The jump starter is something everyone should consider having, a small & multi purpose power supply source. I have a one made by Battery Tender, works great, so handy to have one of those jump starters. 😁👍👍
Hi CoachBob3 it been very cold 🥶 in East Texas this morning was 19 degrees! I got battery tender keeping battery charging but I had not riding my Piaggio because to cold and windy!
I'm in E. Texas as well. Should see a small warm-up 1/23, but I agree it has been cold for an unusually long number of days. My bike, like myself, hibernate and refuse to go out.
Great video I wish I had watched before I bought one of those Motobatt batteries for my 2022 Spyder RTL. I discovered the exact same thing, the extra terminals are so tight on the back side they are useless, AND not realizing it since I installed the terminals on the rear thinking I would be ready to add accessories later, the positive terminal made contact with the frame and gave me a quick short when I connected the negative on the front side. Now I'm struggling to get it back out since those terminals are hanging on something, and you are right - the flat top causes problems with the bracket. Not worth it in my opinion and I'm not happy that SlingMods keeps promoting them. I have a Yuasa on the way!
My 2018 Spyder RTL battery did the same. went for a ride, made a stop, came out and tried the crank it -- CLICK, then nothing everything went black. Luckily the Spyder dealership was only 5 miles up the road. Replaced the battery, all is fine now. Bob in FL.
LOL! Too cold to work outside in Florida? I follow your channel from Oakvillle, Ontario - about an hour’s drive north of Buffalo (only 40 miles as the crow flies). I put a battery tender on my ‘21 Spyder at 23°F two weeks ago. It charged the battery in less than 12 hours. Yesterday it was 15°F, a bright sunny day and the roads were dry, so I took the Spyder out for a short run to Starbucks. If you want to know how well the heated handle grips work, and the seat, come on up for a visit. LOL. (They work great!) The only problem is my clear helmet shield fogs up, so I ride with it up. I enjoy your videos.
Cool video coach. I go to thinking and out of alot of videos I've seen on the spyder most ppl assume and compare it to 2 wheelers or other trikes. I've found that its more towards a ski doo or atv or the sea doo when you ride it. If ppl that have not rode those, have no real understanding of how it rides. Each one of them you have to lean into the corners not the other way. My opinions
Hey Coach!!! I know it has been a while since you posted this, but we were supposed to head over to the Deland Rally this past year, do some riding, and maybe even Bike Week, but nothing is happening since the battery on the Spyder is dead. Lol. So I was wondering if you had a suggestion for a brand or model of battery tender we should get to help this to not happen again, hopefully. Got a 2017 Spyder RT-S. Thank you sir!!! Have a great, amazing, and blessed day!!
This is what I am using on the Spyder. It has done great on everything I have used it on. www.amazon.com/Battery-Tender-021-0128-Maintain-Damaging/dp/B00068XCQU/ref=asc_df_B00068XCQU/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312454010291&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9280085309312325286&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1015213&hvtargid=pla-434255813726&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=61179236814&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312454010291&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9280085309312325286&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1015213&hvtargid=pla-434255813726
You have to order the quick connect cable as an additional accessory. We have had the jumper for a year now and it has served us very well. It still works and hold a charge like the day we bought it. Thanks for the question!!!👍🏍😎
My worthless opinion is that it might crack your battery plastic without totally ruining your battery, being that you aren’t likely to resell it. But, it might void the warranty of the battery if it cracks. The solution is to remove the bracket and flatten those tabs with pliers or a hammer against a hard surface.
Hey Bob, how bout investing in some type of head mount for your camera.Half of what you did today was not usable cause I could not see what you weer doing.
It’s in the 30’s here today but the feels like temp is 18!!! Winds around 18 MPH! Burrrrr 🥶🥶🥶 No Spyder fun for me for about a couple of more months! When You I was a new ridder I would ride in the cold. I would just bundle up and go! After 35+ years on 2 wheels I don’t ride if it’s close to or below 50 degrees. Am I getting soft? I got get a windshield for my F-3S. Anyone got any suggestions? I want something big enough so as not to create buffeting on my new Helmet.
Hey CoachBob! You’ve put me in the market in purchasing a Spyder RT…your videos are excellent, showing safety and maintenance. Question…I’m 6’3” and sat on a standard RT the other day. The setup was disappointing due to my long legs…Are there remedies for a tall dude?? My legs made it difficult to use the brake…thanks bud!

@@CoachBob3 ...lol Good to know. Thank you I watched the whole entire video and was very much engaged and then at the end I was waiting to see if Casper turned on and you didn't show that part
Nice video. Am I the only one that noticed you wrote last year's date on the battery? If I saw it correctly, it read "01/21". I'm looking for a jump-pak that can also inflate a tire, has lights and can charge a usb if needed yet be small enough for a motorbike. I have one for the car but it's too big to lug around on a bike. Any suggestions?
Halo has one. Just saw it on QVC a week or so ago. I have the jump start HALO and it works great and hold a charge a long time. Quality product. This new HALO looked awesome. Hope that helps.
Will be checking out this battery for sure! How old is the battery you had? Was it the 2019 original? I'm still using my 2018 original but am definitely going to be checking it so see if I need a new one for this season. I'm with Spyder Wayne...had not heard of this kind before either. Be positive for as long as you can...love it!! Well, you make it look so easy, Coach Bob. 😅 There are no dumb questions. Peanut, peanut butter! And jelly! Thanks for letting us know the answer from Sling Mods! Good STUFF! Thank you!
In Stafford, VA, 14 deg at waking this Saturday AM and 20 deg now at 1100. Replaced my battery 3 weeks ago. Second time since I bought my 2016 RT I've replaced the battery. First time, it was an OEM (Yuasa) battery and the second was a similar battery (a Haijiu). Off the battery I have one set of leads to my FuzeBlock FZ1 and one set for the battery tender cables. I have a Type S jump pack which has the same type of connector as you have on your Scosche jump pack. I looked on the Scosche website but not see the tender cable that you have. Do you have any source info on that cable? I've had to jump start my Spyder RTS twice using the supplied cable which meaned removing the battery cover. I had purchased another cable from Type S and had planned to remove the clamps and solder the wires to a set of tender wires from a dead Battery Tender product I had. Thanks for another good video. As a side note, when replacing the battery, I was surprised how open the back of the battery box was allowing dirt and grime to collect on the battery itself.
heres the link for the cables... www.amazon.com/SCOSCHE-PBJQC-QuickConnect-PowerSports-Vehicles/dp/B0828BRF52/ref=asc_df_B0828BRF52/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=430944880515&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4030145329573052247&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9011577&hvtargid=pla-958168982767&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=99055125966&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=430944880515&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4030145329573052247&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9011577&hvtargid=pla-958168982767 Thanks for watching!!!
What’s the make of the jump starter you have. Must have missed that vid. New battery I put on Harley has 500 cranking amps, 300 doesn’t seem that much. 🤔😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦 see it now 🤓
Hi Bob. Just wondering, how has your Motabb replacement battery held up? My F3S is only 15 months old and the stock battery has failed. Merry Christmas 🎅
how long did your previous battery last? I only have 5K miles on my 2021 and keep it on the tender all the time. It is starting to seem sluggish. the cold NC days are not too kind. I was thinking I would get a new battery at the first oil change (9K) and maybe a back tire. I do NOT plan on doing much maintenance myself. Decided to retire from that (but I will put in a battery). Just today, I finished putting a new carburetor on a 21 year old 4 wheeler. After 2 days of carefully getting it cabled in, it (new carb) leaked, so I sold the bike before the day was over. Not going to dedicate too much time or get angry at my failures. Just moving on. If I messed up my spyder, I would not forgive myself, so I will let a pro do most maintenance. Just gotta find one to trust.
@@CoachBob3 thx. That is good to know. I should have some life left in mine still. Now if I could just get over my recent back surgery and get back to riding!
I have a ‘21 RTL and I can’t see any reason to replace a battery so soon on a new bike. I’m in the Toronto area in Canada and hadn’t ridden since the beginning of December. My battery was too low to start the bike two weeks ago, but the lights and everything else worked fine. I bought a trickle charger (battery tender) and it charged up overnight. It’s been two weeks and I took it out yesterday for a short ride. The outside temperature was 15°F and it started just fine.
@@obcmissions Thanks for the feedback. Yes I think I’ll be OK mine has been on a battery tender since the day I bought it. I’ve been driving in cold weather and when I had a few sluggish starts I started wondering about the battery life after seeing people replacing their batteries. I appreciate the comments
Why do we have to sit through 6 and a half minutes of BS before we get to the part of the video we want to see we don't care about what you wife bought

hahaha... That is AWESOME!!! This made me laugh. We have to be twins.
It was -28 degrees in Merrill , Wisconsin yesterday morning ,
BRRRR!!!
When the old 1.5 volt drycell batteries were set on concrete, the concrete would drain the power right out of them, make them dead as a door nail.
Great Job Coach Bob.

First video I looked for since I woke up to a dead battery on my 17 RTS. Can't complain since it is the original so ran its course for 5 yrs.
Our preventative maintenance videos as well as installation videos are extremely helpful to those of us who are mechanically challenged. Thanks!

My F3 did the same thing when it's battery died.
your "slow strobe" mode on the jumper might have been an SOS pattern. check it again to see.

Everything will need resetting.... It did fire right up. So I am back in business. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Cool video coach. I go to thinking and out of alot of videos I've seen on the spyder most ppl assume and compare it to 2 wheelers or other trikes.

Can am should consider a 12v port for the passenger seat rider to put in a phone charger or whatever…
Great Video! Is the quick connect / direct battery connection cable included in the charger? Website only talks about the clamps.
You have to order the quick connect cable as an additional accessory. We have had the jumper for a year now and it has served us very well. It still works and hold a charge like the day we bought it.
Thanks for the question!!!👍🏍😎
Wish you would have shown wires done🤔
Man! When I had to change the battery on my 2012 RT Ltd I had to literally take half the bike apart. It took four hours to do I properly.
I had a 2012 as well! The battery under the back seat. That sucked!
My worthless opinion is that it might crack your battery plastic without totally ruining your battery, being that you aren’t likely to resell it. But, it might void the warranty of the battery if it cracks. The solution is to remove the bracket and flatten those tabs with pliers or a hammer against a hard surface.

Roughly 3 years. It started scaring me a few months back. I have ridden in pretty extreme conditions. When it died... it just died!!
@@CoachBob3 thx. That is good to know. I should have some life left in mine still. Now if I could just get over my recent back surgery and get back to riding!
I have a ‘21 RTL and I can’t see any reason to replace a battery so soon on a new bike.
I’m in the Toronto area in Canada and hadn’t ridden since the beginning of December. My battery was too low to start the bike two weeks ago, but the lights and everything else worked fine.
I bought a trickle charger (battery tender) and it charged up overnight. It’s been two weeks and I took it out yesterday for a short ride. The outside temperature was 15°F and it started just fine.
@@obcmissions Thanks for the feedback. Yes I think I’ll be OK mine has been on a battery tender since the day I bought it. I’ve been driving in cold weather and when I had a few sluggish starts I started wondering about the battery life after seeing people replacing their batteries. I appreciate the comments
Did you get the extra terminals and did they solve the problem with the back half of the battery?
They are on order now! I hope to have them on in a week or so.
Battery should be dated 01/22 lol
Good Catch.... I don't even know what year it is...I am gettin old...LOL
@@CoachBob3 lol me too. 72 here but still enjoy my Spyder R/T
Why do we have to sit through 6 and a half minutes of BS before we get to the part of the video we want to see we don't care about what you wife bought
Because I care and I made the video. 😂😂😂
