Starting Changed?

[Mikey]

This is weird it seems we all have a different set up, or procedure!!:dontknow: What I do know is they could do away with it in my book, it's one of those things that piss you off that you wish you could fix! It's like I just got a new Silverado 1500, it had the auto stop feature, that stops the engine when you come to a stop in the street!! I had a switch on the dash that I could hit EVERY time I started the truck that would shut that feature off, but when I shut it off and start it back up it would reset:banghead: After about a week of that, I went online a found a company that made a fix for my problem, now I command when the darn things on or off!!!hyea:

Since I got mine used a little over a year ago, I can't say if the ECM is upgraded or not. I know the gauge cluster was swapped out before I got it. It hasn't been to the dealer since I bought it. I'd have to look to see what time it was built.

I know most of the discussion here after the first poster has been about '14s and '15s, but I'll offer that our '17 RT-S, which was assembled in May 2016 (yep, serial #55 :thumbup does not force a long wait to start. Turn the key ON, find the MODE button, press it, press the starter. I think I remember reading in the manual that if you start the bike within five minutes of turning it off, you do not need to do that, I have not yet verified. One owner before us, he assured us it was all bone-stock, no modifications. Not sure about dealer-instigated BUDS updates, though.
