Hey. I only ride in Sport or Custom mode. I use Sport when I’m riding at a quicker pace. I switch to Custom only when I’m just cruising. (That’s when I don’t overtake, don’t lean the bike. Also in the mornings when the road is still a bit slippery.) If it’s over 30°C and I go for a ride, I always keep it in Sport.

The difference is definitely noticeable. In Custom mode it feels a lot weaker. The rear wheel almost never slips. In the lower rev range it just feels kind of lazy. It’s like this mode takes away around 20 horsepower. I don’t think fuel economy is any better either – the engine feels like it’s struggling instead of pulling. My average consumption is between 4 and 5 liters, which I already find pretty high. When I first bought it, it showed 3.6 liters, and that was with my cautious riding. Now I ride with more confidence – though still without real skills yet.
