Okay--Are the electronics really that asinine?

I simply shut bike off--and have to start all over again upon restart at: retarded, liability happy, rookie, moron--i.e.: "Street"/"ABS on"/"MTC on"? C'mon, man.... Sorta kidding--but not much. The "dongle" (I asked the dealer--got there patented blank stare--and informed it's backordered....) does what for all this?

It should remain in the last mode you left it in i.e. sport/street/rain but if MTC/ABS is turned off it will turn back on again after turn the bike off. Bad fuel dongle will apparently cure this.

My bike switches back to street mode when I turn it off using the key. I have the dongle ordered because I always run the bike in sport mode. It is bothersome but temporary. Otherwise the bike is incredible!

i have my bike set on sport mode in my favorites

its sport mode with both abs/tcs on and it doesn't change when i turn my key off

I will try doing sport mode in favorites. I was not showing that in favorites because I could see the setting on the other gauge.

Must be something for the US model only (no joke)!
Mine stays in sport (or whatever I left it on), only thing that resets to ON is the ABS and TC.
Just as Scamb66 says.
