Delay in starting procedure

[WellsboroSpyder]

?

It's interesting to note the F3 does not have the starting delay????????? If they can do it with the F3 it sounds like BRP or any good techie person can bypass the delay procedure... Hope someone figures it out soon as I am an impatient person???????????
BIG F

I believe I've seen on the web where people have added alarms with remote start.

Bob, Bob, Bob! As you once told me, grow a thicker skin. Not EVERYONE has to agree with you, and you don't have to weigh in on absolutely everything.

My Missus keeps telling me the same thing.
Face it; there's nothing you can do about it. This means that you have only two viable choices:
Accept it
or
Walk away...

You're thinking too small again Bob, there are several options available. I can always use the "ignore" button, but I won't walk away from something I enjoy because you would prefer fellow members who will drink the koolaid. Neither will I shut up or sell my bike after forty years of riding because you think I should. I'm not going to "accept" that you get to say anything you like without rebuttal either. True the sheer weight of 59000 posts can cause most people to throw their arms up and walk away, but your tactic of making a rude comment and covering it by pretending to be a lovable curmudgeon isn't fooling anyone but your acolytes, and they are fewer in number than you think. So I'll take what's behind door #3 instead. I'll continue to interact with this board in the polite and I formative way I always have, but I'll be here posting as I see fit. If that makes me the fly in your soup it's just a bonus. Of course, you can "accept this or walk away", but one of us is too invested for that, and it's not me.

:shocked: I'm really sorry that you don't like your bike...
But that doesn't change the fact that you only have two choices about what you can do...

You obviously didn't buy it, to make yourself feel miserable...
Life is short, and you deserve happiness; find a bike that'll start up quicker, and I bet that you'll feel happier! :thumbup:

I don't know about Bob, but if I shave my legs, I look great Ina cheerleader outfit!:roflblack::roflblack: I am not cheerleading, but I also don't complain about things that I have no control over. As others have explained, it takes longer to put on a helmet and gloves than it does for the "start sequence". I just have way to much fun ryding to complain about the last 9 seconds of my life. BTW, you aren't going to change the process by belly aching about it! As I said earlier, just relax and have fun. :yes::yes:

Pirate, discussing issues is the first step in improving things. Was it not the public discussion of heat issues and other problems that led to the evolution of the Spyder from its original configuration to the vastly improved bike we have today? Do you not believe there is room for development in the areas I listed? You characterize my simple statement as "bellyaching", but you didn't consider that our collective voices are heard by BRP, and that both riders and BRP will reap the benefit of open discussion of every aspect of our rides, BRP through increased sales, and riders through improved performance. I ask that you reread my original comments, then consider them in the context of what a technical board can contribute to a manufacturer's developmental process.

There's no doubt that a faster set of computers could speed things up a bit...
But in the grand scheme of things; is this what you REALLY want them to concentrate on? :dontknow:
We've had heat issues, shock issues, ball-joint issues, DPS issues, transmission issues, key issues, DESS issues, belt vibration issues, (What did I forget? :shocked

Will you PLEASE stop whining! The bike is perfect, a guy with 59000 posts told me so. Maybe you shoul sell it.

Bob, I love my bike, and I guarantee I ride it further and more often than you do yours. Unless, of course, you have a laptop mounted on the handlebars. Now, if posts were miles, you'd win hands down.

:roflblack: Good point! :2thumbs:
I DID manage to forget the throttle body and windshield strut issues...

My 2010 bike DID get smacked with several of these issues; my 2014 has functioned flawlessly! :thumbup:
(Other than having so much of my valuable time wasted by the start-up protocols... :banghead: :joke

Anyone else bothered by the starting delay? Real irritating when you're in a hurry. I try to remember to turn on the key long before I am ready to leave. Head a long delay at a road construction so I turned the Spyder off. Traffic suddenly started moving and I held up traffic waiting for the start process. Embarrassing

Ok, I re-read your original comments. To answer the original question, as clearly and succinctly as possible. "Nope!"

Bob, look at how much more time you would have if you didn't spend so much time running up your post count with insignificant posts and replies!

Pirate, what you quoted wasn't my post, it was the OP's. My comments were several posts down from the OP. Did you advise me to sell my bike because I was bellyaching and not even know what it was you were responding to when you did it?

 

[cuznjohn]

i would think you only need the fuel pump to load the system and that brp might be able to un do the delay on the bike, but like i said b4, turn the key on and put your helmet on and than start the bike

 

[Pampurrs]

You guys are overlooking the real problem.... how to read the entire safety card in only 11.8 seconds. :read:

Well Bob

Bob, look at how much more time you would have if you didn't spend so much time running up your post count with insignificant posts and replies!

You know what they say, "Never get in a p--sing contest with a skunk!:banghead:.......and now the cats are spraying all over you too:roflblack::roflblack:! All good stuff, but calling names really is not necessary. I think what Bob is saying, and :agree:, is that there have been a lot of issues with some of the bikes on this forum, and this is really a non-issue. I for one have never thought about it, as Finless said,"it is what it is", and that is what it will be. Not a problem, a fact. Be prepared! Be observant, don't get caught with your safety card out (btw you don't actually have thread that before you start the bike, if you do you may notice that traffic has suddenly started moving)! Quite frankly you have no idea how many miles Bob has Ryden his two RTs, so don't comment on it. I only have 25000 over the last two years, and my longest was only 2100 miles, but I have yet to notice the delay in starting. It starts the same every time. There is never a delay!:yes:

So in the words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"

Those seconds seem like forever when someone is waiting for the gas pump you just used or you group is ready to go. Add to the "quirk" list the three speedos (counting the GPS), the incomprehensible IPod interface, the bizarre radio station preset procedures, and the inability to keep the dash screen in the mode you want, since the bike demands that the digital speedo always be displayed.

You are absolutely correct. I did miss quote you. You must take a really long time to get gas. Take note, just hit start when you are done pumping! It will fire right up, you don't need to wait for the computer, you don't have to hit the mode button, oh, and very importantly you DONT have to read the safety card! IT STARTS RIGHT UP!!!!!!!! The rest of what your wrote was nonsense. I don't worry about the speedometer when I am starting my bike, and there is only one that I need to watch when I am driving, I don't use the iPod interface (140000 songs on my phone in my helmet works GREAT, and for the last 30 years there hasn't been anything on the radio I want to listen to! So, again, I don't see the problem!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I do apologize about the mis-quote though!:banghead::banghead:

That's what I said, a simple observation on the quirks of the RT, completely on topic and offensive to none. I was immediately advised to sell my bike by two people, presumably because I'm not one of the anointed few here who feel they can make snarky comments whenever they disagree with the content of a post. After months, even years or ignoring these minor provocations in the interest of not disrupting this board, I made an equally snarky comment in return. The result was two pages of inarticulate nonsense, including being offered the choice of accepting the rudeness or walking. Facts make no difference, logic has no place. This proves once again that arguing anything on the Internet is an exercise in futility.
