• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

No Mode Button Push Needed...

sometimes I will not start it right away and just turn on the key..Then I will go to try and start it and I don't have to clear the screen with the button ..:shocked:
Go figure..
 
I also have experienced this on my bike. Just had a thought (:yikes:) - they have spoken of a quick start feature on the PD spyders - possible that this is either a switch or in the software in all of the bikes and that in non-PD bikes it is "switched" off. I know, not explaining myself very well but hope you get the idea.:dontknow: Who knows, YMMV.
 
SpyderAnn01 " no time to read the safety card first " Now that's some funny stuff :bowdown::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:
 
Thank your lucky stars for your good fortune.
I always have to push the mode button for a cold start-up.
Of course, like everyone, at short gas stops, I can start without hitting the mode button and the boot-up continues while I'm drving away.
Why can't we have that as the normal mode of operation.
 
2014 RT check left fusebox R1; R2 (pre-start relay) & R3 relays are pushed in tight

Have any of you had this happen yet?
In the past six weeks; I've encountered 10 separate times, that I didn't have to push the Mode button for a cold start-up...
The bike had sat overnight, and it would just go directly to the LED Speedometer read-out; rather than forcing me to endure the full start-up protocols.
What gives? :dontknow:
If the bike is continuing to boot-up systems as I run it, I sure haven't noticed anything not functioning in a normal fashion...

Hi Bob,
Check in Left Fusebox the R1 & R2 Relays are pushed in real tight, (push in hard all relays & fuses).
R1 Relay is Reverse actuator
R2 Relay is Pre-starting
On my 2014 RT-S SE6 I had to replace B.O. R2 relay (I replaced R1 relay also); (probably caused by ryding on a really rough, bumpy mountain road at high speed).
I found several relays, fuses a little loose in both Right & Left fuse boxes (Oct 2014); check LFB F7 & F8 fuses are not blown.

:clap: Thanks! :thumbup:
Our roads around here can be pretty rough, so it sure could have loosened-up some of the relays...

I enlarged, printed, and laminated the above. Thanks Bob. Now installed on the :spyder2: It is the proper use for the safety card pullout.

Unautherised touching of my :spyder2: Will cause:::::

I've had something even MORE odd happen....

So, the past two months, mine started doing the "no mode button" before starting. SOMETIMES...... I get no mode button required....then the Spyder starts.....THEN the "Press Mode Button" screen comes up AFTER it's already running and moving! SO, I have to press the "mode" button to see the speedo screen! I ride LOTS of bumpy roads. After reading this thread I'll check the relays and fuses. Thanks all!
 
start up

I just hit the eco mode switch as soon as I get on and hit the start button, fires right up. Don't have to wait for dash to come on/boot up. Read somewhere that it was possible to do this as the Canadian bikes can.My buddy also starts his the same . Both 2015 RTS bikes. safe riding

SkyNet calling.... ;)
 
Have had this only on hot start within 30 minutes of shutdown. If there was a way to permanently remove it I'd do it in a heartbeat.
 
Your Spyder is saying that it might begin to start trusting you.
This trust is a fragile thing and can be shattered with a a few tenths of a pound out in tire pressure, oil belatedly checked at 305 miles or
maybe the brakes not properly inspected.

Your Spyder is fickle.

It starts to trust you then you do some bone headed human thing and you are sent back, as a naughty school boy or girl, to reading the safety card.
