How do yo make the........

[Bob Denman]

There is no wait on my 15 RT-S. I hop on. Turn key on press mode hit starter. Do not even have to wait till it shows can am on the screen.

:shocked: This has been reported as an "incidental occurrence", on some bikes. (Even mine!)
You might have a relay that's a bit loose. Check to make sure that everything is "tight & Right" with both fuseboxes! :2thumbs:

No Waiting!!

Purchased a 2016 RTS. Turn the key on, foot on brake pedal, bike is in neutral, push mode button and starter and bingo it starts up. I have never looked or read the pull out safety card. I,m looking for a good use for it. Thats as quick as it needs to be. Bob

I had always set and waited! So after reading your post I went out and tried the magic method on my new 2015 ST, and it worked just fine "instant Start" and the SPYDER had been off and cold for hours, well past the five minute gas up time. Learn something new everyday, Thanks!!!!:yes::yes::yes:

Their have been other posts from both countries that this works on the 2016 RT. Go to a dealer and try it. Sorry to say I have not been able to confirm this with any other owners as Spyders are few and far around here on the Island and when ever I see one its going the other way on the road. Hope you find what you want. Bob.

PS Some dealers may not even know as they don't have a clue.

Same results here, 15000 happy Kilometers!

Thank goodness

Because its computer controlled and the computer must boot up first. Same reason as why can't you just turn your computer on and start typing. Windows has to boot up first. That's a simplistic answer, but basically the reason.

I'm just glad the Spyder doesn't use Windows as it's OS platform. You'd turn the key on, than go finish breakfast while it boots. up.:yikes:

Tiny change from 2015 and 2016

I think this is just one tiny thing that changed in between the 2015 and 2016 models. My 2015 RT-S requires the 'boot-up' before I can start the engine, unless as was previously mentioned, it was a quick stop for gas.

However, I also have two friends who own RT-Limiteds. The 2015 Spyder requires the short wait to start up - same as mine, BUT the 2016 Spyder will start up as soon as she turns the key. Even if it sat overnight. Now the F3 just came out in 2016, right? So all of those starting right away may have more to do with year and not model.

And for those who don't understand why we are fussing about a 45 second wait? You've obviously never gone for a group ride, been the last one on the bike and then realized you forgot to turn the key before getting on. 45 seconds is forever when your friends are laughing at you! pps:

Knowing that your bike needs a bit of a head-start; why not simply make sure that you're ready first? :dontknow:
It's not a tough thing to accomplish. :thumbup:

​I find reading the card takes the time!:dontknow:

 

[trucker1]

fhe safety card.

we can always use the safety card to stick pictures of our kids and grand kids on. Then just pull it out when your riding and see the little ones. Or maybe a warning sign that says keep off my spyder.or else. And let it hang there when you are away.

Hay we think alike, we both have the same color spyder and the same year.Ain't it pretty

On my 2016 F3, it's "Mode", "Brake", "Start". I don't have to wait for the Can-Am logo to go away for "Mode" to work.

I thought the earlier ones just made you wait longer before "mode" worked. Is there a requirement to actually look at the safety card?

My friend has the same 15 RT-S His starts the same right away.

The 14, 15, 16's all have a cam bus computer system. Whatever they update on the 16's should be able to be programed into the other years. My 14 Indian Chieftain has a cam bus also and was constantly updated on every service. There were a lot of updates in Indians first 2 years.

I can't wait to get home and try this

Seriously, I have to put my gloves on and by the time I am done with that, it's ready to go. Have to admit that I have never tried just pushing mode and go though, I will try it on the way home from work today.

Wow you really got the slow on Earth! Maybe your bike is using Windows as an OS!:roflblack: I have counted this out many times and it is way closer to 15 seconds! Sounds like you need to "defrag" your bike! Oh, and don't be the last one on your bike!

Here is what works for me...

......warning read safety card display go away? I think what I mean is why cant I just turn the key and start the engine?

Turn key on, when you see Can-Am hit mode button...should then go to 0 screen....start....hope it works as well for you as it does for me. :thumbup:
