    Default 2020 RTL starts without a foot on the Brake - is that OK?

    HI
    I noticed today I can start my 2020 RTL without a foot on the brake
    Is that a cause for concern?
    Is it ok to leave it that way?

    Check to see if your brake lights are on when that happens. My 20 RT had a flakey brake switch. Maybe yours is sticking. Mine was internal bad contacts.

    No concern! They start without stepping on brake if shifter is in "N"... Only need to apply brake when bike is shut-off in gear!
