What exactly is a safe mode? How does it kick in and can one control it?

Pretty sure it’s the butterflies closing when the factory ecu THINKS you’re going too fast. The control is to eliminate it altogether with an ecu flash.

How does it kick in...
... and can one control it?
Since ohm plays a major part designing the sensor to ECU, you have no control but to replace the sensor that has the balanced value of said designed formula to remove the limp and have the path magnetically held to FULL POWER.
Make sense?

You’re welcome Fotis. Sure didn’t give ya the tech Hub did lol, and piken is right about the timing retard, but you get the gist of it. I just went with the cheap $75 Schnitz flash and she’s like a new creature! Best money I’ve spent on her. Now to just quit keeping the tc turned off so I don’t spend a small fortune on rear tires!

"Safe mode, backup mode, fail-safe mode, limp mode, all mean the same triggering of a sensor that fell out of the loop"....this is ONE 'safe mode'.There's another that Piken is talking about in the mapping(ECU).It kicks in when hard on the throttle as was mentioned.I think around 7-8 or so K's in 6th especially.That's from brock anyway(though I could have the rpms and gears incorrect),the closing of the secondaries to protect the rider.Can be flashed out.IDK if it actually does something with the timing.It might.You can just pull your secondaries.Course,that won't actually stop the circuit from firing.But it won't close the secondaries physically anyway.Fuel input?IDK.Maybe.
