I noticed yesterday my SxS is starting in gear. Should I be worried about this is just ignore it. It don't bother me

I’m pretty sure mine starts in any gear as long as you are pushing the brake.

It's supposed to if your foot is on the brake.

Yep what they said. Funny sometimes the little things we find out about a machine we've owned a while. Should have seen my surprise when I found out I could up and down shift with the paddles while in auto mode

Yeah it's crazy! Going on 2 years since we bought and just noticed this. I've not tried the padfles

Yes. And if I recall, it will have a limiter keeping it at or just above idle until you release the brake pedal.

I had no idea about this. I always jump in mine and try to start it in Drive and then go "grrrrr" and shift to Neutral to start. All I have to do is press the brake? Gah, i'm such a dork.

Short shifting up at 7 and 16 mph will significantly quieten your ride when puttering along. I had mine for a year or so before I accidently figured it out. Now I hardly ever ride without using the up paddle

Ha! I just discovered the same on my sweetie’s 520 last week. We’ve had it since the end of January 2021.

That’s the single biggest reason I LOVE the DCT, being able to short shift, keeping the rpm down when I’m cruising. I use the Up paddle 50 to 1 over the Down paddle. When I snowmobiled, I got sick of listening to the engine run up on the power ALL DAY and why I jumped right on the Talon shortly after it was introduced (which happened just as I aged out of dirt bikes).

Using the padfdes to control a steep decent works great. I have a 1000-5.
