What is panic mode?

For an electrical problem, I heard that you have to go into the panic mode to get your bike back up and running. What is panic mode, and how do you access or do it.

Need advice,
Zappa

Hmmm...never heard of a panic mode for the bike. But I have been in panic mode myself a couple of times like, when I knew I was going to hit the pavement and my only thought was, "aw ****, this is going to hurt bad".

There is "reinitialization" where, if your electronics stop working, you either pull your main fuse and put it back in, or you switch the ignition off for 30 seconds and o then on for 30 seconds and repeat 3 times. The latter is usually only for aftermarket ECMs like, the ThunderMax, though.

Panic mode is when the OL catches you with a hottie at bike night @ Starbucks.

Are you referring to the security system shut down?

Panic mode

Panic mode is when you realize you have just opened your last beer, and you are too drunk to drive to the store to get more, and your wife is too mad at you because you are drunk and will not go to the store for you.

Panic mode is when the bike runs out of gas in front of a speeding semi and you duck walk it at 70 MPH.
