Okay, Who'd pay to get rid of the 'Read Card' Message?

[QuadManiac]

Well, I didn't say my late night epiphanies make any sense... except to me... late at night.

I wish the 'nanny-off switch' would be as easy as the 'nag-off switch', but not so. Sounds like the anti-theft and 'fun factor' is worth more than getting rid of the nag anyway.

Back to the drawing board! Maybe some sleep would help.

They could change the message to read, "Good Morning, Mr. Phelps."
-Scotty

And ends "This Spyder will self destruct in five seconds"?

That ought to deter theft, alright! :yikes:

[Firefly]

Theft deterrant? So I guess reading English is a unique ability bestowed upon Spyder owners only?:roflblack:

 

[GaryTheBadger]

I would pay someone to have the message and long delay removed from my Odyssey Navigation screen at startup. It prevents use of the backup camera, meaning it allows you to backup without the camera, a safety flaw in my opinon.

Uh... What card? When I installed my GPS over the dash, I removed that piece. ( As the bolts go down through the dash)

But add me to the list for a nanny. Supposedly, if you stop and start within a few seconds... minutes... the notice doesn't appear. I've tried to fill my gas tank quickly, spilling it all over the, as it overflows, and still haven't " beat the clock" :joke:

So instead of keeping miles ridden, I'm keeping track of how many times I'm supposed to read this message !:clap:

Thats strange, I have at least 4 minutes, probably 5 minutes from key off until I have to hit the Mode button to clear the message again. I can fuel up, go inside and buy a candy bar, pay, come back out and still not have to hit the Mode button. :dontknow:

My salesman had never seen a Spyder until mine was delivered. When he tried to start the bike it wouldn't. He read the scrolling message and pulled out the card and pressed the M button. It wasn't until the next day that I figured out you didn't need to pull out the card. Boy did I feel like a dummy. I figured BRP might have attached a micro-switch to the card as part of the starting process.

 

[hevnbound]

Could you design a board that would allow us to put in our own message? My '02 Goldwing allowed me to do this.

Maybe something like; "Scratch you butt to start the engine"! .....

Would be fun to come up with some sample messges?!?

 

[Pete Denzer]

It's an sunshade, too!

The card serves another purpose. Pull it out to shade your instruments when it's really sunny and you will prevent the heat distortion and bubbling that some have complained about.

What train did you drive????:joke::joke::joke:

Or....beam me up Scotty. !!!!

Who wound you up? Did you pour Geritol on your Wheaties again? :joke: How the heck do you expect me to keep up at this rate?

Please, don't give them any ideas that will slow us down even more.

Well I didn't have anything to say, couldn't think of anything, senior moment, but then a thought occured as it might be a good day to pick on scotty.. and besides had a good friend who worked for the railroad, retired, from running all kinds of engines, and one thing certain, never mention railroad in a converstion with him as you will never get back on track.

As to breakfast, oatmeal not wheaties. :joke::joke:

:roflblack: You did real well! I hadn't thought of that type of engineer. Maybe that's because nobody ever let me blow the whistle. Keep jabbin', it keeps me on my toes. You corrected me about the Wheaties, but never did say anything about the Geritol. Does that mean I may be onto something? :joke:

That darn safety switch thing drives me nuts and yes i'd pay to get rid of it as long as fix is easy.

 

[irish2themax]

Those that are bothered by the message all must be using the M button to start their Spyder. No need...use the override on the back of the left handlebar

 

[SpyderGirl]

I guess it's annoying sometimes... but it's become such a habit to just push the button that it's second nature and I don't even think about it. I would not pay to have it removed.... or the nanny switch for that matter. I like to keep my safety systems intact at all times.

:agree:Yep. This thing is not a motorcycle, and doesn't handle like one, so having some "nanny insurance" doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.
