As a new blade owner (2018 model) can any 2017/18 owners who’ve had theirs for a while recommend some ideal mode settings? I know over time I’ll gradually work out my own but what’s a good base setting to start in? Or should I just go with the pre-set factory modes 1 or 2? My first bike with “modes” so just looking to hear from owners with a bit of experience using them. Thanks!
Depending where you live, I'd leave it in Mode 2 (windy roads.) As you've said, you'll develop your own with experimentation. As an example, I've set my USER 1 as: P 1, T 2, EB 3, and S A2. My USER 2 is Ron Haslam dry settings at: P 1, T 0, EB 3, AND S M1.
