Starting w/out the "MODE" button?

[gwilburn]

Is there anyway around having to press the mode button when starting? I mean, couldn't they program it so that this ceases after 100 times? This is the most asinine thing I've ever seen.:banghead:

Occasionally my 08 would start without the mode button having to be pressed,
And that would happen After it sat for hours, ''Not'' with a quick restart...
But that was just an abnormally..

The mode button function is to keep me abreast on all situations. Like making sure my helmet and chin strap is done and ready to go.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

No doubt some lawyer thought it was a great idea, so that in a lawsuit, they can say . . . "We told him to read the safety instructions, your honor . . . every time he started his Spyder!"

It's like the super secret spyder handshake. If you don't do it you're not in the cool club. :joke: :sour:

Personally; I prefer "Miss July, 2007"

absolutely right ... there's a BUDS routine that compares the number of starts with the number of depressions of the Mode button ... and you know what happens if they don't agree ...

Kinda like the number of dives and surfacings of a submarine, if I recall they should be about equal.

The mode button helps to keep the Spyder off of the crime watch list for getaway cars!

Mode button

Think. Of it as a pre-flight check list

I use the Mode button but never read the card. I'm just a rebel.

I don't mind having to push the mode button before pushing the starter button. I look at it like a free anti theft device to keep it from being driven away if I forget to remove the key.:yikes::shocked:

Be careful; Nanny will kick you in the shins, and put YOU into Limp Mode... :yikes:

 

[DodgingRain]

I like having to press the mode button. It's one more thing keeping my 11 year old from riding the spyder.
