+1 But in all fairness, and possibly adding to the confusion, there are two "ECO" modes, the automatic one indicated by the ceo (Economy Riding Indicator), and the manually activated Eco mode (Fuel Economy Assistance Mode). And per the manual the automatic one shuts on and off based on rpm, speed, etc ,while the manually operated one can only be activated while RPM is less that 6K, throttle less than 30% and speed less than 152mph, but does not shut off automatically, in fact there is a note that states "Activating the fuel economy assistance mode decreases horsepower."
The automatic indicator is not an Eco "mode", it is just displaying information to the rider saying that you are operating the bike (driving) in a Eco-friendly manner. When the Eco indicator is on, it is not changing anything. It does nothing else. It cannot be turned on or off. It is just informational, like your fuel gauge.
When "Eco Mode" is turned on (manually) AND displayed, it means the ECU is, indeed, leaning out the mixture to maximize fuel efficiency. If you drive in an un-Eco-friendly fashion (turn the throttle too fast, or raise the RPM too high) it will temporarily disable Eco Mode until conditions return to being Eco-friendly
