Just seen that in the manual to, my yamaha dealer just said throttle off and change no need to stop. They can't be to serious or it simply wouldn't let you change mode while the bike is in gear

I always tend to leave mine in Std, but whilst I was away up Scotland in some very heavy rain I closed the throttle and tried switching to B mode and my bike threw a paddy, made some terrible noise then just cut out. It then would not start so I turned off the ignition and back on again and it was fine.
Never done it since so i don't know if the cause was water getting in somewhere it shouldn't or changing mode!!!

I think ur rite mate...
It shouldn't change unless throttle is closed IIRC.
Cant remember ever closing the throttle.....just ease off and press with the thumb...seems so natural..maybe i just have a slick riding style or maybe i am closing the throttle and not realising it. Will check next time out. Won't be changing anything anyway. I am at one with the bike and we love each other!

Mine will only change on a fully closed throttle whilst riding. I tried it so it maybe its a TPS measurement .

When I first got the bike I accidentally pushed the kill switch instead of the mode change button whilst pulling out of a petrol station. I was doing less than 5mph so it didn't really matter. Just laughed at my self and started the bike again. But I guess that wouldn't be so good if I was riding along at speed. Maybe that is why they say only do it at a standstill

Does anyone know if it's possible for the bike to always start in A, I only use A . PS my UK dealer also told me change the mode with the throttle shut I do it every time Zero problems.
Daps sounds like you may have knocked the kill switch in the process of using the changing mode button
