Spyder RT start up time?
My friend had a 2014 RT and it seem to take a while for everything to sink before it would start. He now has a 2018 and it starts right up with no delay.
What year did they fix the delay time on start up?
Thanks

Pretty sure my 2015 F3 S did not have a delay as long as you hit the mode switch after turning the key to 'on '.
-
The earlier models did have a wait time before pressing the Mode button and the newer models don't have it. While the dash is booting up you can press the mode button and start it up immediately. The wait time is still there as we have to wait for the BRP Connect to make connections and you can't start any music while moving so I have to wait so I can get my music going before I get moving.

Mine has something of a delay as well. Not sure why, but it doesn't really bother me. I turn the key and start putting on the gear. As soon as it appears, I hit mode, then start and finish with the gear. Gives both me and the tryke time to warm up. It's been in the mid- 30's every morning for a while now.

A great example of adapting to the situation. I found the same procedure works well for me, though I usually forget something, so the process may not matter at all.

Yup! Most of us use the delay to put on the "gear." If you have a quick stop...as in gas up the tank...most will start right away...without the delay function kicking in. Not sure what the exact time limit is...but most of the time it works that way for me.

Yes. That is correct.

I wait to start. When I had Harley's, I was told that starting before the checks are complete might lead to sluggish operation.

Something I got used to with the introduction of Fuel Injection into Cycling before the Can Ams were ever made. My Yamaha had it, my triumph has it, my Hogs had it, all with EFI had the delay, and I always let them finish the self check, those can detect issues, I had one bike find a bad sending unit for the oil in a self check, and it turned out to be true, it saved my motor IMHO, so I grew patient with it.

After all, we need time to read our safety cards, don't we?

It does that on initial start-up and then if the time period is longer than say 15 min. …… Mike

Spyders with the old motor you have to wait for the electronics to "boot" before you can press Mode and then Start. With the 1330 motors, the newer the faster the boot, but with all the 1330s I believe, you can hit the Mode button after turning the key on even though the electronics haven't finished and it will start.

IIRC, the delay shortened with the introduction of the BUDS 2 system in 2017. But, that's just going from memory.

Our 2012 RT Limited takes maybe 30 seconds or more to cycle through everything. Seems like forever when you're riding with the two wheel folks, or even folks with newer Spyders.

When I turn on the key, the center of the RECC screen immediately pops up and reads "CAN-AM." then goes blank and remains so until the "Read safety notice and push Mode button" screen appears. It takes 11 seconds for the safety screen notice to appear from the time the ignition switch is turned on. While the screen is blank waiting for the safety notice/Mode button screen to appear I can press the Mode button all I want and NOTHING happens; BIKE WILL NOT START. The bike will start only when the "...press Mode button" wording appears and I do so. As you recall, if the bike is in gear, R or 1, you must press the brake pedal to allow the start button to work, but if the bike was in Neutral when last shut off you can simply press the start button to light off the engine. IMO, the inoperabity of the Mode button is at least in part to prevent accidental starting of the engine until the operator can see what gear it is in before attempting to start it. The system has probably saved more than one operator from saying, "But officer I didn't know it was in gear." Newer MYs have essentially eliminated system boot up time.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Haven't been on in a while, but after reading this thread, I tried it on my '14 RTS. A few seconds after "Can-Am" appears, I can hit the mode button and it starts right up. When the screen finishes booting it goes right to the gauges. I'm still putting on my gear, so maybe this gets me a few more seconds of warm up.
