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
