"Transmission fail safe mode"
Discussion
Battery is 6 months old, was replaced as part of a long running FSR issue now resolved.
I've called the garage and they seem to be honouring the warranty this far as is was only 6 months/2k miles ago it was reconditioned, got to get it recovered to them on a flatbed though, they have said not to drive it
So after the motorbike was stolen on Friday, this happened on Saturday and today my "good" road bike gives up on me...I'm now transport less
6ft, 18 stone bloke on a women's road bike for 30 miles a day seems to be the only option now haha!

Transmission failsafe is a message indicating that the engine ECU has seen a fault and put the gearbox into failsafe to protect itself and may have nothing to do with the transmission whatsoever.
If you even lost a plug or coil, O2 sensor fault or MAF out of spec, it would still show transmission failsafe.

Took it to the garage, new gearbox switch
£225 later and it happens again the next day...
Now back in on Saturday and they thankfully still have the old one. His time when it happened I over from R to D, lever resting in D, go to pull away up a slight incline and it hasn't engaged the gear. Metallic "Clunk" from the box, error message comes on as before and I'm stuck in 3rd.
Turning it off and on again fixes it...for now...
