What do you think about the riding modes? Do you find them useful?

But the bike won't stay in rider mode between power cycles. It'll always default to road on the next startup. just 2 or 3 handlebar presses to get back to rider though. I ride in sport 99.9% of the time. I'll flip it to rain if I get caught in a downpour because it's supposed to have more aggressive traction control in that mode. I flip it to rider (with TC off) when I'm trying to shame someone off the light because if the wheel does start to slip, it's frustratingly slow for the TC to disengage. I'd rather just power right through with a little wheel slippage.that

that's not the case on my bike. Rider mode on, always on (unless changed by me).

I tested this on my bike. If Rider mode is set to have TC, then Rider mode stays selected when you shut down and start up again. But if you have Rider mode set to turn TC off, then the bike changes the current ride mode to Road the next time you turn it on (though Rider mode still has TC off).

I stick to Sport mode on the Rocket and my Speedy T.
Otherwise known as Massive Grin mode!
