NOT necessary to hold it in.
As soon as the dash fully lights up (about 4 seconds after key ON), push the mode button ONCE.
Start as usual.

It is not the motor noise I complained about it was the bang when put in gear. My hearing is fine.

that is the same bike we have and yes it is anoing when those things happen Ive better things to do than wait for the bike to wake up.. and yes it shifts with a bang and the beep beep crap is very anoing

You can avoid the beep beep crap: if you forget to set the brake, just turn the key back on, set brake, turn key off again. Works for me!

I just let it beep for 20 seconds until it shuts off. I'd rather do that and be able to push it around in the garage without having to go through the rigamarole of releasing the brake.

Are you sure you have to go through a rigmarole, Idaho?
On my 16 F3, in my garage, I park in neutral and apply the park brake. If I want to move it around, I turn the key on, immediately press the park brake release button and then turn the key off again. Only takes 3 seconds. Are the RTs different?

Some days the threshold for what I consider a rigamarole is pretty darn low!!!

I am not going to worry about the clunk when they shift into gear. They (as in all motorcycles) do that.
The 17s and 18s still have the 10 second or so delay time before you can start them.

They must have introduced that in the 17 & 18 then Gary.....my 16F3-L lets you turn on the ignition, hit the mode button and start immediately. I wonder why
