My 636 had a dead battery. New battery, charged, and still nothing. Hollowed out tip over switch and fixed the problem (bike was wrecked). Bike turns now but will not start. I have the FI light on my guages. Is there a fuel switch or something? I think i put stuff back the way i took apart. Bike ran about 6 months ago i rode but it sat awhile. Fuel stabilizer maybe? It turns like it wants to start but no start. Ive been putting the bike back together anything i might have missed connector wise? I just connected the gas line back up and figured that was it. Fuel pump does cycle when turn key
If the FI light is staying on when you turn the key, the bike wont start. The servo valve under the driver seat is your problem. Make sure when you turn the key on that the valve turns clockwise then back counter clockwise. If it doesn't you have a bad servo valve or a disconnected plug to it.If the FI light is staying on when you turn the key, the bike wont start. The servo valve under the driver seat is your problem.

If the FI light stays on when you turn the key the bike WONT start. Check the servo valve under the driver seat and make sure the wire connector is plugged. The valve should rotate clockwise and then back counter clockwise when the key is turned to the on position.If the FI light stays on when you turn the key the bike WONT start.

There could be several reasons why your 2012 Spyder RT-SE5 is not starting when you turn the switch. Here are a few things you can check:
Battery: The first thing to check is the battery. If the battery is weak or dead, the bike won't start. Check the battery connections to make sure they are tight and clean. If the battery is dead, you may need to replace it.
Fuses: Check the fuses to see if any are blown. If a fuse is blown, it could be preventing the bike from starting. Replace any blown fuses with the correct type and rating.
Starter motor: The starter motor may be faulty. Try tapping the starter motor gently with a hammer or other tool while someone else turns the ignition key. If the bike starts, then the starter motor is likely the problem.
Ignition switch: The ignition switch may be faulty. If you turn the key and nothing happens, try wiggling the key or turning it back and forth slightly to see if the bike starts. If it does, then the ignition switch may need to be replaced.
Fuel system: The fuel system may be clogged or there may be a problem with the fuel pump. Check to make sure there is fuel in the tank and that the fuel lines are not blocked. You may need to clean or replace the fuel filter.
If you are unable to identify the problem, it is recommended that you take your bike to a certified mechanic or dealership for diagnosis and repair.
Sounds like the battery may not be charged. Put a charger on the battery, bring to a full charge. Try starting. If it won't crank, locate a load tester and check the battery for weakness/dead cell. If the battery is not the problem, the starter/starter solenoid may have corroded/dirty contacts.
Have your charging system looked at, first do a simple multimeter test, get a multimeter, switch it on to Volts, start bike and see what it reads, put multimeter prongs directly on battery, very simple, if its below 12V you have a charging problem. If your battery is new and your charging system is faulty the bike will start and go, but when you switch it off the battery will be dead because it has not been charging. When you let a dead battery sit for a while it will charge itself a little, enough to start the bike up. Have you ever had a flat torch or mobile phone, it will die when battery is flat but when you try and switch them on again after a little while, they will work a little and die again, same with bikes, cars etc. All the best, Forever Two Wheels :)
A good possibility. Take the battery out of the bike and take it to an autoparts store. Ask them to load test the battery. They'll usually test it for no charge.
Check the fuses. Next, check for spark. If no spark then check again but with a new plug. Is the kill switch on? Does the side stand have a kill switch? Is it working properly? Tip-over kill switch on your bike? Check the operation of the ignition switch and all kill switches with a volt ohmmeter. Check the loom. Did a wire come unplugged? Are all wires clean and with solid connections? Any abraded or pinched wires? Is the bike in neutral and the neutral light is lit up? If no neutral light, check the neutral switch and neutral switch wire on center casing. With a little luck this will get you back on the road. Please rate this answer. Thanks
