2011 model error code

I took the track ZX6R out yesterday for the first time :)
In the afternoon, she threw an FI at me. She ran without any issues.
Now I'm trying to pull the error code, but I'm stuck between the different explanations I find on the internet/service manual.

I searched for a bullet connector to enter dealer mode, but I can't find one.
I also read that the latest gen of ECU's have no dealer mode and you need to pull the error code while it's active (?!?)

Can anyone bring me some clarification about reading error codes on a 2011 zx6r ?

Thanks !

Looking at the statements for each of the codes, there has to be a change in resistance, or Voltage that is registering with the ECU on a particular set of pins to create the error code.

If the ECU doesn't store a code, and people can read codes the faults detected must be constant.

You probably have a loose connection, or a chaffed wire somewhere.

If you want to try and locate the fault, you could start the bike and then start moving the wiring harness around and see if you can create the issue.

When you had the fault on the track, were you doing something specific -- rapping it out to redline, standing on the brakes, going over choppy pavement, etc.?

When did the FI light come on when you were at the track? Did you see it while riding, or when you got back in the pits? Do you know how long it was before it disappeared? Is there any way you can re-create it in the garage, like put the bike on a rear stand and run it?

RJ's likely right that you probably have something loose, or a bad sensor somewhere, but it'd be like finding a needle in a haystack if you don't know where to start looking.

It was on track, not in the paddock and not the first few corners.
I think it came on when I started to put the hammer down, definitely not the first few corners/laps.

The light went off when switching off the bike, and did not return when switching it on, only after I started to ride again.

Is it possible for the dealer to connect it to the computer and do a readout ?

So, I went to the dealership today to pull out the error codes.
But, there where no error codes :( Only the ones when I pulled the servo eliminator.

According to the dealership there are errors that are not stored in the memory, but he could not tell me which one.

So, anyone has a list or knows where to find it which codes are resident and not ?

For the record:
On friday I went to the track and in the 2nd session, the FI light came on again.
Back in the paddock I entered the diag mode and saw code 34.

The strange thing is that the FI only went on in the 2nd session when I was putting down the hammer. Due to a big slide from the back, the tempo for the remainder of the day was 3-4s slower and the FI did not come on again. It seems that it's only flashing when I really push the bike.
