I assume you mean if I find it on say when open garage in the morning then I left it alone would it go off ? Sorry never tried. The red hot front lamp makes me hit the Off switch straightaway.

Found relevant line. Page 30 of the English version. "The display’s internal battery is charged by the main battery, when at a low state of charge, the bicycle will power on and charge up the display While charging, the display shows “Charging Display” During this charging cycle the bicycle...

Wow ! Well done Sherlock ! I'm vacationing for a while but when back I'll get this translated into French & then show it to my LBS & see if he understands. Sort of makes sense that all the components need to be registered with each other but a) you'd have thought that would have been done during...

Makes no sense in my case - it's seemingly a random act ! If it happened every e.g 43 days that might make sense but it doesn't. Anyway I had a Vado SL before this for 3+ years & that ran perfectly. From the circuit diagrams I've seen there's always battery power going to the On/Off switch &/or...

29th Sept overnight & clock incorrect, 3rd Oct it was on when I opened garage to go for a ride - again clock wrong. Same day whilst on stand for a clean (sponge only - no hose) & I was inside cleaning/oiling the removed chain it came on again. LBS asked me to to check the light splitter cables...

Umm. Maybe. But for the first 12 months or so of ownership there were zero problems with time or self powering on. So maybe it was a Spec' update that started it all.... Even now some days when I've switched on after maybe a week of inactivity (temperature here in Summer has been high 30's low...

Mine did it again yesterday. Seems it resets time to 00.00 when this happens too. I'm sure its a software bug but Spec don't really seem interested..... Shame, when you spend some 6k on a bike you do expect it to be fault-free !!

Since then only 1 random turn on. But I've had a motor fault (sadly didn't record the number) & yesterday during a ride the H3 displays locked up. Sorted by doing a full reset - but really shouldn't be necessary!! Time still often incorrect on H3 until connected to App.

Light wiring replaced

Thanks for this. Short answer is I don't know. I will check with LBS but it might have been done when the H3 & the control switch were swapped out. But would this affect the time keeping of the H3 ??

I've just had most of the internal wiring changed by LBS. 3 days later the bike switched itself on again & time incorrect !! So as I've already had a new computer, the fault can only be with the the motor or battery or lights which seems very unlikely. Seems Spec need to get their finger out on...

I don't think the motor noise is the issue. The SL2 is a little quieter than the SL1 was (have owned both) but not hugely. They both "moan" when at full revs & when they're disengaging there's a similarly loud noise. Main thing is the thread was all about the SL2 Vado 6 turning itself on...

Great news ! Please let me know how it goes !

I think we're going off topic guys. The real issue is that the Vado SL2 6 (CF) is randomly switching itself on. THIS IS NOT NORMAl. The motor noise is another issue - maybe. Mine is much quieter than my previous SL4.

Its really strange, I bought mine around 16 months ago & until recently its been fine. Yours is new isn't it ? Obviously a software gremlin somewhere in a recent update.
