Eco mode.

[Mikey]

Well I actually read some of the handbook today,  and discovered the bike has an eco mode. This apparently cuts some power and leans out the fuel mixture.

Can't be doing with this lack of power so how do I tell if it's engaged or not?

2010 + models only

eco comes up on the dash but turns off when you turn off the bike!

leans fuel by 25% approximately, and might loose 10% power, but its not that bad!  unless your racing!  eco also pretty naff in town - can be not as smooth at low rpm - but great for sitting on the motorway!

for the best results keep the engine out of the VVT - i.e below 4500rpm....

For best economy keep out of the VVT zone,

for the most fun, immerse yourself in the VVT zone,

you didn't buy a 1400 for the mpg

I certainly didn't..

May the fun begin gents

Only use in 'cruising mode' in highways here and in 6th... Very little fuel consuming than
But need more power when in real biking style

I may have given the wrong impression, if I wanted economy I'd have bought an 800GS 

I like the mind numbing acceleration.

I found and tried the eco mode today.  And then I turned it off again.

To be used only like in the film MIB. 

[Debs]

I use my eco mode all the time.. Is that wrong?

No it aint ...I used to put mine into ECO mode prior to riding out

So did Ant. To be used bellow 6000rpm and less than half throttle for best results. Just gives it a lean map and helps esp on long motorway bashes
