Question for 2013 S owners
« on: August 12, 2013, 05:54:06 PM »

I have a 2013 S (Duh). I am having trouble settling on settings for my ECO mode and wonder where you guys have your settings.

I've used the Android App on my Note II, paired with Bluetooth, and I didn't have much trouble. Just adjust the sliders and you're ready to go.

What issue are you having?

Max speed: 70 mph
Torque: 100%
Regen: 100%
Regen brake: 100%

I ride in Eco mode 98% of the time. I only flip to sport mode when I need an extra boost of speed for passing on the highway.

I like to take advantage of as much regen as possible and sport mode has very weak regen compared to 100% in Eco.

Me too, and as bonus save the brakes.

Best I understand it, to get to full regen in Sports mode you have to slightly pull the brake, enough the activate the brakelight, but not engaging the brakes themselves.

This is NOT documented in the userguide, and the App only uses cryptic labels.

Max everything. I don't want to be limited by top speed or acceleration ever in case I need to move fast and the faux engine braking that comes from max regeneration assists the brakes in stopping you. Eco set this way is all I ride in.

What I found I like on the 2013 FX is setting ECO for minimum regen without brake light and max regen with brake light. I set max torque and max speed. Now I can ride all the time in ECO and get the coasting of SPORT, along with SPORT's acceleration and speed, and then get max regen when I slightly pull on the brake or with hard braking it helps me stop. Seems like the best of all worlds.

If memory serves, my '12 has 10% regen in sport and 25% regen in eco. Seems like 100% regen would almost lock up the rear wheel.

No, it's not that pronounced, not even close,  plus it's not really as immediate or more pronounced going 80 mph than it is going 25 mph like a downshift from 6th to 5th might be at 80 mph or downshifting from 2nd to 1st at 30 mph would be with many bigger bikes without a slipper clutch. And the rear tire doesn't skip out either.

Where does Zero set the regen on the S in sport mode (no brake light)?
