    I've been seeing that message since July of 2012, so I would say ignore it as I do.

    ..... It's there because the LAWYERS told BRP to add it - - - a CYA .... It's similar to the music you hear while waiting after being put on hold. It lets you know the system is still working.... After I had my DESS turned off, I found that I could just hit the start button with no waiting and the RT would Start..... Mike

    I read it the first time, about June 2008. Have not paid attention since.

    Ignore it, but it will not go away. BRP has to do a little bit of CYA.

    You cannot get rid of it but you also do not have to wait for it. Just press MODE and then start, no need to wait on your 2016.

    Punching the mode button is part of the safety start procedure, right? So the blurb is just reminding you to do that. On the Ryker, you have to reverse twist the throttle to complete the start procedure.

    I remember when Ruger first imprinted safety instructions on their single 6's. What a disgrace it was to a great sidearm. I have the same feeling about my spyder and I haven't read the prestart on my RT for so long that I don't remember what it even says. Now I just hit start, try to miss the clunk, and then take off.

    As some have stated above, turn key on, push mode button, then push start button. Works this way on 2020 RTL and now on my 2022 F2L Limited.

    Well, when I move to Stage 2 from 1 they couldn't remove the text, only bypass the need to hit the mode button to start, but you still have to hit the mode button to make the damn text go away at some point! Otherwise I'm rydin down the road with it scrolling away.... :-(
