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.

When I turn on the key, the center of the RECC screen immediately pops up and reads "CAN-AM." then goes blank and remains so until the "Read safety notice and push Mode button" screen appears. It takes 11 seconds for the safety screen notice to appear from the time the ignition switch is turned on. While the screen is blank waiting for the safety notice/Mode button screen to appear I can press the Mode button all I want and NOTHING happens; BIKE WILL NOT START. The bike will start only when the "...press Mode button" wording appears and I do so. As you recall, if the bike is in gear, R or 1, you must press the brake pedal to allow the start button to work, but if the bike was in Neutral when last shut off you can simply press the start button to light off the engine. IMO, the inoperabity of the Mode button is at least in part to prevent accidental starting of the engine until the operator can see what gear it is in before attempting to start it. The system has probably saved more than one operator from saying, "But officer I didn't know it was in gear." Newer MYs have essentially eliminated system boot up time.

Haven't been on in a while, but after reading this thread, I tried it on my '14 RTS. A few seconds after "Can-Am" appears, I can hit the mode button and it starts right up. When the screen finishes booting it goes right to the gauges. I'm still putting on my gear, so maybe this gets me a few more seconds of warm up.
