I forgot to add the other truism - accelerating both bikes at the same rate and in the same gears, with one in ECO and one not, will use exactly the same amount of fuel.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I shift by "ear".
Been doing this for 50 years - lol
Did not like needing to look down at a little green arrow
I get 33 MPG combined, but there's only 2000 on my 2014 RT-S.

Wow you must have big "ears". :joke:

F3 same as rt in Australia
lucky ozzies have the same gearing on the f3 as the rt here in Australia and europe
i noticed some f3 riders in USA with 1330 trying to compare mpg. Bit pointless as the rear sprocket / gear is different. THEORETICALY an f3 will not on average get the economy of a rt in USA. Lots of variables but rpm at a given speed is the clincher.
i posted data from brp with gear ratios rpm and theoretical speeds for both last year caused a bit of a debate.
I have my first spyder f3s, after 2000 miles I can now ride to the conditions of the rode and thrash around the bendies and cruise on our freeways and it is all fun without even caring how much fuel goes in to it. I can even fool it to lift a wheel occasionally. Fun fun fun.

Your license number is neat.
ECO mode works
I was riding with my club and could not understand why I needed fuel but others still had plenty.
The group leader asked if I was in ECO mode...I wasn't. I'd been told it was a useless function that reminded you when to shift. That is true for older models. When I switched to ECO on my 2020 RTL it made a big difference on mileage. Its perfect for highway trips. Still got plenty of throttle response but if I need more power a I switch power modes.
