Your slower, late model bikes seem complicated.
Point taken, I probably phrased that wrong in regards to it being a "mode".
I can not find any documentation stating that this mode turns off when riding un-Eco-friendly
My main point was that there may be added confusion since there are two display indicators that are labeled ECO. So many buttons, so little time

On the plus side, they have more time to figure those things out.
Actually we have more time to ride. We don't have to worry about F1 errors or spend time in continuing education on which button does what on the C14, not that there's anything wrong with doing that, though....
Of course you CAN just hop on it and ride and not concern yourself with all those buttons. 80% of people use 20% of the features that come with any new item from cameras, and cell phones, to motorcycles, and cars.
Speaking of the 80/20 rule, my late model isn't slower than 80%+ of your retro models...because almost nobody goes anywhere near the top end speed. And if I do care, there's always re-flash.
Do I spy bra straps under that T-shirt?
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
Thanks for the tutorial, I read the manual part about ECO mode but it wasn't explained in plain english like you just did. Now I know.
We had a thread going a long time ago about just how horrible the English is in the user's manual. It is appalling. And I am not just talking misspellings or bad tenses, but wording that completely destroys the meaning behind what they are trying to say. I was shocked how bad it was, because normally Japanese manuals are very good (it is the Chinese/etc manuals are are notoriously bad). Incidentally, the *SERVICE* manual does not have this problem.
