Why is it....

[smoky]

that sometimes I can just switch my ignition on and hit the start button and crank right up and other times (mostly) I have to go throught the preflight checklist to crank up? Perhaps my lack of tech ability is the reason...but I can't find an answer in my owner's manual. Thanks.

It's a time thing it gives you a restart if it hasn't been to long otherwise you must reboot nanny

If you have recently run the bike, it''ll allow you to start it up without the mode button getting mashed if it hasn't been shut off for more than about 5 minutes...

Bob D. is right on.

My .02: Cold starts: always let the computer do its thing on start up--and don't rush it. You can end up with a "computer moment".

R1100, You & I must have been typing at the same time... If I had seen your response, I'd have just said, ":agree:" :thumbup:

Wish we could just disable the whole press the mode button thing completely.

MODE BUTTON

THE Press the Mode button is a royal pain but it is a small security feature....if someone has or finds you're key and they try to start you're Spyder they had better know about the MODE button thing or they are out of luck on the THEFT THING.......JMHO...Mike...:thumbup:

Well that just let the cat out of the bag bad guys read the forms too :sour:s

 

[fastfraser]

If you can speed read the safety card faster, then you should be able to hit the mode button to start the Spyder faster .:roflblack:

 

[Grandpa Spyder]

Well I really dis-like that feature as well, but like someone told me when you start to put your gear on I insert key 1st and turn it on. By the time I have my helmet buckled it is ready to go.
