Eco on Spyder F3 2018

[CarrilloJean]

I can't find any infos in the Eco button?
When I press it I can see on the dashboard an arrow flashing sometime when I reach a certain speed, then disappear then flash again.
What I suppose to do, is there any infos regarding that?
Thank you so much again for your answers.

When you turn on Eco mode, the green arrow flashes to tell you when to upshift for the best fuel economy.

Most people here, I believe, leave Eco mode off.

Yes, OFF all the time.

Eco mode assists the driver of when to shift. Experienced drivers prefer it off... myself included.

It appeases the gods of the EPA but basically only tells you when to shift and saves you pretty much nothing. You can do better controlling your own crusing speeds. On the first units that came with this feature the test ryders found that they saved about a mile and it was more annoying than worth it...

YUP, YUP, and YUP!

Eco gives you an idea when to shift up. The Spyder will shift down on its own--but you can override that if you want.

Mileage gained--maybe a half mile per gallon on a full tank.

CONS: distracting looking for when to shift. Not a big saver on gas.

I played the ECO game on one tank of gas. When I got done--I decided not to use it any longer.

You will find shifting in the 3000 - 3500 range (or slightly higher) will make your Spyder run just fine. Find your "sweet spot" and go from there.

Thank you again for your time. Great support here

I started using “eco” when I first stared out on the Spyder, and it did assist me in knowing engine sound for shift points, but now it is never on, unless I’ve accidentaly pushed it on. Other than initial use when getting used to the Spyder, like all others have said, Useless and Annoying.
