gdm Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Does anyone know why the owners manual states "Do not change the D-Mode while the vehicle is moving"? Is this for safety reasons or can the system be damaged? I've been changing the modes while riding and then I read this in the owners manual. It seems strange to have to come to a complete stop every time you want to change between the different modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboyrog Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Damn lawyers. I do it all the time no problem. My Duc Multistrada has the same feature and is made to change while riding. Not a problem, to change while moving, just pay attention. RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkereddemon Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The Mode is supposed to be changeable only if the bike is at a standstill. This is so someone wouldn't accidentally switch from B Mode to A mode while in the midst of a wheelie and such. Did you get and ECU flash? If so, maybe the stock mechanism has been jiggered with.... -CD- 2015 Yamaha FJ-09: RaceTech Gold Valves, RaceTech Rear Spring, Arrow Full Exhaust - black with w/Carbon Fibre endcap, ECU Flash, Lowered 20mm front, 15 mm rear, Denali driving lights, Fenda Extenda, Tail Tidy, Corbin Seat, Madstad 22" Windshield, OEM heated grips, Woodcraft frame sliders, Grip Puppies, BadAss Cover (Large)....

Premium Member washufiddyfo Posted February 1, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 1, 2016 I would imagine that sentence is in there for CYA purposes only. I could change modes while driving both before and after my ECU flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only change the mode if the throttle is closed so you are unlikely to get into any trouble changing mode whilst moving. Just be aware that an MT09 rider may appear to be slowing but will then disappear at a rate of knots as A mode has been engaged.

The modes, A, Standard, and B, can be changed while underway, so long as the throttle is closed. The TC can only be turned on or off while the bike is stationary, likely because the TC uses data from the wheel speed sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpaul Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 So, (FJ Noob here...) TC is still engaged in "sport" mode? You have to turn it off manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpaul Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Thanks. I've had my FJ a week and just today wound it tight enough to experience my first TC-induced bunny hops. In standard mode, no less. I suspect it will be a considerable while before I'm ready for sport mode and TC off. Damn, I love this bike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
