The only sure way of getting rid of bad habits is to create good ones.
AND, by the way, this will not happen on auto pilot.
It's time for a YOU-turn!!!

Putting foot on brake and releasing the parking brake are not required to start the bike if you shut it off in neutral. My routine is almost always turn key, put helmet on, get on bike, hit mode, start. The mode button adds maybe two seconds to the start process. Then I put my foot on the brake, put it in gear, release the parking brake, and go. These latter steps are the same for any car or pickup.

Or you could do what us manual riders do. Turn Key, Hit Eco/Mode, Pull Clutch, Start. We have one less step!!

The amount of time you are spending trying to figure out how to do away with the eco button is more time spent then actually pressing the button.
Press the friggin button = 1 second.
Time wasted trying to away with the button = days.
Seconds in a day? Do the MATH!

I agree with you Copperman. I do the exact same thing you do.

We get that pressing the button is a Must. It certainly doesn't stop me from hitting the road on my F3S. Love it!!! Enjoy your weekend everyone!!!

If anyone has mastered removing the start delay--please advise--I have read the warning on the left service panel & while my memory isn't the greatest I don't need that 3-5 second delay.
Thank you kindly for any assistance,

Slow down, you are in to much of a rush. This takes a few seconds at best. This gives the computer time for a quick check and fuel pump to reach pressure. Don't understand why 3-5 seconds is so important unless you just robbed a Bank.

Start Delay, eco button
I have found a way to eliminate reading the safety card ,REMOVE THE STICKER with the stupid instructions, if you need to read them you shouldn't even be riding a push bike.
I Removed my sticker and took great pleasure as it hit the trash can, then I relabelled the pull out thingy "SUN SHIELD" and that's what I use it for, to keep the sun off the display when parked, now that makes sense.
One stupid BRP design converted to a useful farkle

Frunk and dashboard power outlets
Front supension LEDS

If I wasn't so cleverI wouldn't need to be so good looking.

Removing the eco button would be nice but removing the engine vibration would be nicer. My thoughts
