Over the weekend I went over to Southend On Sea. On the Sunday I met up with Boomer. I was watching my Average MPG all the way... I was cruising around 75 to 80 in ECO Mode and did hit an Average of 57.7 but didn't get a pic... Here is what I did capture...  :banana: :banana: :banana:

Debs, not too shabby for a beginner.  :popcorn:

It is possible to get that sort of MPG but these days I cant be arsed, what I get is what I get. Asif is a bad influence on me, recently I've even overtaken some tractors.  :mfr_lol:

I thought I was doing well with a regular 52/53mpg average, though that is nearly all cross country B roads not long consistent speeds on A roads.

Wolf, do you really ride with your linked brakes in that mode? I find it unusable due to the large amount of front added in with so little pedal pressure. I have it in the other mode all the time (as in Debs photo).

Is there an option for linking the brakes then?
If so how do you turn it on/off?

The brakes are alwas linked. That can't be disabled.

I think the setting allow distribution of the braking force

Yep when it has two brackets round the symbol it changes the way the linked system works (set up pillion) it takes a little while to get the hang of how to use the linked system correctly but now that I have I would not want to switch it off :)

Yeah, I always use the brakes in the mode which is displayed, I did once try it in the mode which Debs has displayed which has more braking power and aggression to it, and I nearly went through the screen.  :mfr_lol:

As Asif will confirm, at the speeds I ride at, the mode I have suits me just fine. (I think I've just insulted myself).  :mfr_lol:

So to my original question - how do you enable it? I don't have the (00) symbol on my 11 plate only the 00

:mfr_lol:  Your not alone.  I was chuffed with 50 on the display, but over 60???  Do you hold onto HGV's on the motorway or something???
