There are two temperature sensors on the engine;
1 ; engine oil temperature sensor ( sets a code and flashes orange cel when disconnected )
2 ; intake air tempreature sensor ( maybe sets a code and flashes orange cel when disconnected ).
We have not had an identical fault on this forum so i am a bit lost with this one, each one of those sensors can be disconnected individually and the engine may then run in a " limp home" mode that could well limit the engine to 6000 rpm.
This will be a very defined point on the rev couter and point to this particular mode.
The eot sensor is mounted on the oil channel on the back of the cylinders and has delicate contacts inside it, be careful not to mis-align these when plugging the connector back in. see pic.
The ait sensor is located opposite the air filter intake cover on the right hand side of the bike;
You could run the bike to operating temperature and disconnect one sensor at a time, if you disconnect one sensor and there is no difference in operation that may be the cause of the fault.
Just thinking that one sensor operates but is out of range or disconnected somehow for the ecm and puts it in limp mode.
Just thought it may be worth a try before removing the fuel tank ( bit involved ) and finding nothing wrong.
The fact that you stated the bike runs fine when cold makes me think all is functioning fine until the ecm gets the wrong information and limits the engine to a safe level.
Is this situation happening every time or just sometimes?
