SPECIAL FEATURES
EAU66291
YRC (Yamaha Ride Control)Yamaha Ride Control is a system that
incorporates numerous sensors and
controls to support an improved riding
experience. The vehicle senses and
can react to forces along the longitudal
(front-to-back), lateral (left-to-right),
and vertical (up-and-down) axes. Lean
angle and G-force accelerations are
also detected. This information is pro-
cessed multiple times a second and the
related physical systems are automati-
cally adjusted as necessary. The func-
tions listed below represent individual
YRC items which can be turned on/off
or adjusted to suit various riders and
riding conditions. For setting details see
“MENU” on page 4-14.
WARNING
EWA18220
The Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) sys-
tem is not a substitute for the use of
proper riding techniques or the ex-
pertise of the operator. This system
cannot prevent loss of control
caused by rider errors such as trav-
eling faster than warranted by road
and traffic condition s, including lossof traction due to excessive speed
when entering turns, when acceler-
ating hard at a sharp lean angle, or
while braking, and it cannot prevent
front wheel slipping or lift (“wheel-
ies”). As with any motorcycle, al-
ways ride within in your limits, be
aware of surrounding conditions,
and ride appropriately for those con-
ditions. Become thoroughly familiar
with the way the motorcycle handles
with various YRC settings before at-
tempting more advanced maneu-
vers.
PWR
The power delivery mode system con-
sists of four different control maps
which regulate throttle valve opening in
relation to the degree of throttle grip op-
eration, thus providing you with a selec-
tion of modes to fit your preferences
and the riding environment.
TCS
The traction control system helps main-
tain traction when accelerating. If sen-
sors detect that the rear wheel is
starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning),
the traction control system assists by
regulating engine power as needed un-
til traction is restored. The traction con-
trol system indicator/warning light
flashes to let the rider know that traction
control has engaged.

Shift timing indicator light
This indicator light can be set to come
on and go off at the desired engine
speeds and is used to inform the rider
when it is time to shift to the next higher
gear.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to ON. The indicator light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to ON, or
if the indicator light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit. (See page 4-23 for a detailed ex-
planation of the function of this indicator
light and on how to set it.)
EAU66901
Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled. The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to ON. The indicator light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off. If
the indicator light does not operate as
described above, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system, the immobilizer system in-
dicator light will flash and the display
will indicate an error code. (See “Error
mode” on page 4-13.)
EAU65980
Stability control indicator light “SC”
This indicator light comes on when the
TCS, SCS, or LIF systems have en-
gaged. It will also come on if the TCS is
set to “OFF” or if the TCS system be-
comes disabled while riding.
The electrical circuit of the light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”.
The light should come on for a few sec-
onds and then go off. If the light does
not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if the light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
EAU65991
Oil pressure and coolant tempera-
ture warning light
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil pressure is low or if the coolant
temperature is high. If this occurs, stop
the engine immediately.
The electrical circui
t of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on again after going off briefly, and then
remain on until the engine is started. If
the warning light does not come on ini-
tially when the key is turned to “ON”,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.NOTICE
ECA22441
If the oil pressure and coolant warn-
ing light does not go off after start-
ing the engine or if it comes on while
the engine is running, stop the vehi-
cle and engine immediately.
If the engine is overheating, the
coolant temperature warning
icon will come on. Let the en-
gine cool. Check the coolant
level (see page 7-38).

CRNT FUEL: current fuel consumption
TIP
F-TRIP appears automatically
when the fuel tank reserve level
has been reached and begins re-
cording distance travelled from
that point.

After refueling and travelling some
distance, F-TRIP will automatically
disappear.

In TRACK MODE, information dis-
play items FASTEST (fastest lap
time) and AVERAGE (average laptime) are also available.
TRIP-1, TRIP-2, F-TRIP, FUEL CON,

are resettable items, the top item
will flash first. Scroll down to select
the bottom item.)
3. While the item is flashing, press and hold the wheel switch for one
second.

This shows how much braking power is
being applied to the front brakes. Acceleration indicator
This shows the vehicle’s forward accel-
eration and deceleration forces.
Revolution peak hold indicator
This small bar momentarily appears
within the tachometer to mark the most
recent peak r/min speed of the engine.
YRC items MODE/PWR/TCS/SCS
The current MODE (YRC mode) and its
related PWR, TCS and SCS settings
are shown here.
The individual settings for YRC items
PWR, TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS and LIF
can be organized into four groups and
set independently for each group.
These groups of settings are the YRC
modes MODE-A, MODE-B, MODE-C,
and MODE-D. Use the mode switch to
change YRC modes or make YRC item
setting changes from the main screen.
TIPThe YRC modes come preset from the
factory for different riding conditions.
When using the factory presets, the
suggested YRC modes are as follows.

NOTICE
ECA21210
If the warning light comes on when
the engine is running, stop the en-
gine immediately and check oil level.
If the oil level is below the minimum
level, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it up to the cor-
rect level. If the oil pressure warning
light remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.

This icon comes on if the coolant tem-
perature reaches 117
C (242 F) or
higher. Stop the vehicle and turn off the
engine. Allow the engine to cool.NOTICE
