Any way to get around the Start up safety message?
2014 Rts, any way to get around this in the menu? Royal pain waiting for it to boot up seems like it takes forever lol.
I know about the safety card I have read it numerous times why do I have to be reminded all the time. Maybe someone has a hack work around? New to spyders just trying to learn.

My only Can-Am experience is with the Ryker, so my comments are limited:
1. It may require modification of the ECU
2. EFI bikes with ECU (ECM) require a "wake-up" time...similar to starting up a computer. On a bike, it is usually the time required for the gauges to cycle. Can-Am is just a bit more complicated and lengthy. Let it go through the cycle while you put on your gloves.

This was just discussed on one of the FB groups I belong to, and it has been discussed here many times. I don't recall any mention of a work around.
At any rate, I have a 2014 RTL and my procedure is to turn the key to the on position, do a safety inspection of my bike, by the time I get back to my starting point (actually before that) computer has powered up and I can mount the bike and start it right away. Out on a ride, I turn the key to the on position put on my helmet and gloves mount the bike start her up. Oh, I haven't read the safety card since the summer of 2012 with my first RTL.

Not positive about the '14 models but on my '16 RTS you can turn on the key, press the mode button and press start and the spyder will start immediately. it will take a couple of seconds for the main screen to come up. Dale

Yes there is---------- Have a stage 1 or stage 2 ECU flash and the Spyder will start right after turning the key on. Of course, you get a very nice horsepower and torque increase included.

My 2016 Spyder RTL does this quickly maybe 5 seconds.
NOT sure about the other years. Give yours a try and let us know. .......

What Lew said. I have stage 2 on my 14 RTS and I just hit the start button as soon as I turned the key on. Then hang on for dear life. Zero wait time to initiate launch.

Works on my 2014 RTS. I have to wait for the Can Am logo to appear, but as soon as it does, the mode button and start works every time.

It won't. Change was made in 2016 I think. I've read comments where an ECU reflash by one or two guys who can do it will eliminate it.

Not to steal the thread, but having to hit the mode button to start the bike always struck me as odd. But it does make it less likely that a casual thief could figure how to start and steal the bike. I would hit the mode button anyway, as I always leave it in the Eco mode. I like seeing the indicator telling me when it is fuel optimal to shift up even if I don't always shift at that moment.

Thanks for the tip. I have a 2020 RT Limited and went out and tried turning ignition switch on, hit mode button then start switch and fired up. Didn’t know this little trick. May only reduce start up time a few seconds but we all only have so many seconds in our lives and a few saved here and there, well adds to the total…

I did as baxter posted above until I got the ECU flashed by Monster Fuel and had them eliminate the step that required the mode button to avoid. Now, just turn on, put my foot on the brake and it fires right up. I'll have to admit it's nice to not even have to mess with it and just get on down the road. I have my Spyder detailed at a local detail shop once a year and it took forever to teach the detailer how to start it so he could move it into the bay to wax and shine.

I believe this was changed in 2014+ models; then put back in sometime later. I can start my 2016 and 2021 immediately.

I'll have to do some more checking to verify things, but this is what I just experienced. If the bike has been sitting not running for at least 15 minutes it will not start until the safety message comes up. However, if I restart the bike within about 5 minutes of shutting it off, pushing mode immediately after turning on the key lets me start it right away. And for some odd reason my bike once in awhile will start without waiting for the safety message. But normally I have to wait for the safety message before I can start. I usually use that waiting time to put on my jacket, helmet, and gloves.
