    Default Limp Mode 2017 F3S ???

    Had the check engine light start flashing and the Limp Home Mode come across the screen on my way home. The bike never slowed down and runs the same as it always has. Checked the oil ,brake fluid and coolant when I got home all ok? Any ideas?

    Is the limp home message still there after you've turned it all off and taken the key inside for a while ?

    Your foot wasn't on the brake pedal accidentally?

    Agree, check for codes just in case.

    I think the check engine light comes on for any error. The limp home screen for possibly serious issues but the codes are the main tellers of what and where to look. If you don't have the spydercodes app get it. It is free and will help you in many ways....

    I tries that. Also checked all the fluids and lights. Everything checks out. The strange thing is when it went into Limp Mode it did not slow down t all? Drove it home at 65mph in 6th gear at 3300rpm? It still starts and runs fine? I was able to check the codes and got a 0 P0340 which is a Crankshaft position sensor. I guess its off to the dealership.
