Is there any way to keep the windshield up instead of raising it each ride?

Hi,
New '24 STS owner. I checked the user's manual but didn't see anything on this. Is there a way to just keep the windshield up all the time instead of having to raise it each time you go for a ride?

Not sure about 2024, but 2020-2023 RT's the windshield will return to the last position it was in when the bike was turned off. It will move to the lowest position at shutdown.

Yes, there is... at least on the '20-'23's, so try it on your '24. Immediately after you turn off the key, press and hold the Windshield UP switch for about 5 seconds. Then you can let go. This cancels the auto retract. You might even hear a faint relay click while you're holding it, but 5 seconds is enough. When the shutdown is completed, the windshield stays up in the current position. Y'all go try it.

Great, thanks! I'll give it a try.

I just tried this on my 2024 Spyder RT S2S and the windshield stayed in the "up" position.

On my 21 S2S you have to raise the windshield while the bike is running then hold the switch in the "up" position while switching the ignition off. Whenever you switch the ignition off the screen will then return to the up position even if you have lowered it for some reason.

So, does the same procedure turn it back to the OEM setting?

Don't have that issue on the 2014. Just sayin.. :chat:

My 2024 will automatically return to the last setting upon start up.

If you want your windshield to stay up, do as mentioned above. You have to do this every time you shut off bike if you want to keep it up. Bruce

BamaJon, Yes you are correct. whether the screen is up or down when you switch the ignition off, that is where it will return to. So hold the screen switch wherever you want it.
