The Stupid "have you read?" thing

[Denny B.]

There's that stupid "have you read the safety manual" question that you have to wait for before starting the engine. This is sooooooooooo dumb!

Has anyone heard of a bypass to this?

It's a combination of BRP legal/lawyer BS in addition to a time-taker-upper while the spyders computer boots up. I'm guessing you have an RT/RTS because they take longer to boot up. My RSS takes about 2 seconds. I never understood all the whining about this until I learned that other models besides my RSS take longer to boot up. I can see how that would be annoying. However, just turn the key and then put your helmet on. When done it'll be ready to go.

Always been there right from the start I believe , probably always be there just like nanny watching over you while you ride.:chill:

:shocked: And here I was gonna say to just NOT read it...

Will it keep a running total for ALL of the times that I've not pulled the card?? Even on BOTH RTs?

 

[Bob Denman]

...And I've died falling over it; on more than several occassions!

The microswitch located on the safety card pull out counts how many starts are done without pulling out the safety card.

After 73 starts without a pull out your Spyder goes into permanent Limp Home Mode.
The only way to reset it is to pull the safety card out 73 times to get the counter back to zero.

If you fail to reset it, the Spyder simply will shut down and require a trip to Valcourt, QC .


:joke:

And your Warrenty will be voided!!

Roger, you shouldn't say these things to the noobs. They might not realize you're joking!!

 

[Bob Denman]

Everything that Roger says :shocked:... comes with a, "Double your money back" guarantee!

[retread]

Yep, turn the key on, put on your jacket, helmet, gloves, clean the bugs off the windshield, check the air in the tires, twiddle your thumbs for a minute or two, then start it up and RYDE!

No..!!

but have suggested they put that on a timed or mileage auto cancel on it. Say after a 1,000 miles it shut off. You should have memorized the card by then...:roflblack:

 

[Princeau99]

What?

There is something I am supposed to read?

The ST's are terrible at this also. Apparently BRP thinks that 5 minutes is the memory retention of the average spyder owner. If you shut it off, you can restart it within 5 minutes again without waiting after that you probably have forgotten what is disclosed on the safety card. Once a day would be acceptable. It's frustrating when you're riding with others and trying to get going to catch up or get out of the way. However, if I had to choose I would keep the wait to start over the high pitched whine that lasts for 45 minutes after you turn the bike off. nojoke

What's the safety card thing about? Where do I find it? :roflblack:

By the time I wait for akspyderlady to get her gear on, my Spyder has warmed up and is going into overheat mode. Am I missing something here? :roflblack:

 

[vided]

What's the rush, turn the key, finish talking to the guy at the gas pump. Put your lid on and your ready to go.
rushing is not allowed, relax and enjoy the ride. :yes::thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

I just taped "Miss July" over it :shocked:; I don't mind wasting the time now!

If they'd let me disable VSS I'd be happy to take a multiple choice test every time I fired it up.
