Modes can change drastically depending on the manufacturer and the bike.
On my MT-10 for example the "DMode" is little more than a glorified adjustable quick action throttle.
The modes have very little impact on power and torque, or any system other than YCCT.

Std mode - The "soft mode" 100% at the grip is 98% results in 98% opening of the throttle bodies.
A Mode - 75% at the grip results in 98% opening of the throttle bodies
B Mode - the "fastest mode "You guessed it 50% at the grip 98% at the throttle bodies.
Abs and traction control are completely unaffected by any of the modes. The softest of the traction control setting does use data from the APS and ABS sensors to create a kinda poor mans anti-wheelie mode (no gyros).
I cant comment on rain modes advertised with other brands as I haven't used them but the standard Yamaha mode (sometimes called rain mode) just makes the engines rpm easier to control. Personally I have no problems doing anything in one of the "faster modes" but B mode can be abit of a handful at low speed.
I suppose if your a little bit ham fisted or just a little bit worried the physiological effect of switching down a mode is a nice placebo irrespective of any actual changes on the bike. ____________________ Bikes owned :- 2001 nsr125, 1999 zx6r, 2006 yzf-r1, 2009 xmax 250, 2012 yzf-r1, 2015 MT-07

Spacker has three throttle modes.
Bender mode
STD or Sexually transmitted disease mode.
and
Aaaaaarrrrrrrggggggh mode
I don't have traction control at all and my ABS 'keeps blowing fuses officer'.
The three throttle modes are VERY different. I usually ride in STD mode as it's the default setting, but I do change to B
mode if I have a pilion. It's a wheelie happy old heap at the best of times, so I like to keep my passengers this side of
paralysed by fear by keeping it on B mode. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
