Question about "C" mode

[Busaman5000]

Will putting it in "C" mode lean out the fuel mixture there by giving you better gas mileage? Or does all it do is retard the timing? I was just trying to find a good reason to use it. Thought maybe it would help if you are getting desperately low on fuel or something.

I'm not sure how "C" mode works but I love your Avatar..

c-mode is good for only hevy rain.

From what i read about it all it does is cut the full throttle power. It has a good description of it in the manual, Doug

IF you take the airbox off, you will see another set of butterflies. This is what controls the c mode.. it just opens them real slow/limited amount.

i've wondered that about the modes someone try it on a like a 15 mile cruise and reset your gas mileage indicater

I don't know about the experienced here, but the Busa is my first bike and the C mode is helping me out a lot on refraining the monster behind that humongous motor, I feel really comfortable and in control when using the C mapping, A mode still makes me very nervous

But that's just me

It's best to stay there until you get use to it for sure. I don't want to here about anyone on here getting hurt. I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as i can. Doug

I use C mode in rain or when the road is wet, normally i use B mode for cannions roads, the A mode i hasn´t use very much.

In a magazite test, numbers are as follow:

C mode: 126 HP at 9370 RPM - Bin 9.7 KGM at 6650 RPM
B mode: 173 HP at 10980 RPM - Bin 11.7 KGM at 3810 RPM
A mode: 181 HP at 9820 RPM - Bin 14.3 KPM at 7270 RPM

We call here binary i think you call it torq(?)i really don´t no

 

[TA_GunSurgeon]

A mode is the only way I travel

 

[torchred2000gt]

I don't know what C mode is like because I haven't ever put it on any of the other settings. 'A' mode feels pretty good to me.

I also wondered about the possibility of improving my milage in C mode so I used it for an entire tank of gas to test the results...I didn't see any significant improvement, still got about 38 mpg - the same as I'm getting in A mode.

KGM - KilogramMeters instead of ft.lbs
to convert, mulitply KGM x 7.22 to get ft.lbs.

I don't use anything but A mode. If you can't control the throttle in it's native mode you shouldn't be riding that bike. The one time you forget to set it may be the last time you ride.

 

[rykstr]

The diffrence accurs after 4500 rpm, one thing I learned is not to go from C to A while accelerating in a turn at 5500 rpm

Like hitting the nitrous button huh.

Disagree....

C's great in towns in the wet with a pillion.... makes it easier to pull away from lights without the Doris nutting you in the back of the head LOL

in an another post i wrote that a mode DOES NOT consume more gas,i was on a day trip with another 2 08 busas they were on a mode and i put b mode just to test the difference and in the end mine sucked more gas,so i guess A mode has more advantages apart from the GREAT power increase it also consumes less

Ye, the bike works harder.
