(See “YRC Setting” on page 4-16 and
“ERS” on page 4-19 to change the reg-
istered ERS mode or adjust ERS set-
ting levels.)TIPThe ERS indicator will flash should the
SCU need to be reset, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.
The suspension will remain fixed
at its most recent settings until the
SCU is reset.

To reset the SCU, stop the vehicle
and turn the key to “OFF” then“ON”.

records up to forty laps. On the main
screen, the lap timer shows the current
lap time and lap number (indicated by
the LAP mark). Use the Pass/LAP
switch to mark lap times. When a lap is
completed, the lap timer will show the
latest lap time (marked by the LATEST
indicator) for five seconds.

Oil pressure warning “ ”
This icon, along with the oil pressure
and coolant warning light, comes on
when the engine oil pressure is low.
When the key is first turned to ON, en-
gine oil pressure has yet to build, so this
icon will come on and stay on until the
engine has been started.
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 dealer
check the vehicle.
Coolant temperature warning “ ”
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

TIPIf the display indicates error code 52, or
if you have trouble starting the engine
with a standard key, this could be
caused by transponder interference. Ifthis occurs, try the following.

which transmit electrical signals,
close to the main switch.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine. 3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.
NOTICE

4. Long push the wheel switch to exit the MENU screen or use the wheel
switch to select another module.
“YRC Setting”
This module allows you to customize the four YRC modes MODE-A,
MODE-B, MODE-C, MODE-D by ad-
justing the setting levels (or on/off sta-
tus as applicable) of YRC items PWR,
TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS, and LIF. For
YZF-R1M, you can select the ERS
mode to be associated with each YRC
mode, and also adjust the setting levels
of the ERS modes.
TIP
TCS has 9 setting levels and ERS
has 6 modes.

Whenever there are more selec-
tions (setting levels or modes)
available than can be shown on
the screen at one time, a scroll bar
will appear to notify you that addi-
tional selections are available byscrolling.
PWR
Select PWR-1 for the most aggressive
throttle response, PWR-2 and PWR-3
for smoother throttle grip/engine re-
sponse, and use PWR-4 for rainy days
or whenever less engine power is desir-
able. TCS
This model uses a variable traction
control system. For each setting level,
the further the vehicle is leaned over,
the greater the amount of traction con-
trol (system intervention) is applied.
There are 9 setting levels available.
Setting level 1 applies the least amount
of overall system intervention, while
setting level 9 applies the greatest
amount of overall traction control.

TIP
TCS can only be turned on or off
via the main screen using the
mode switch.

When TCS has been turned off,
TCS, SCS, LCS, and LIF will be
set to OFF and cannot be adjust-
ed. When TCS is turned on again,
these related-traction control func-
tions will return to their previoussetting levels.
SCS
SCS can be set to OFF, 1, 2, and 3.
OFF turns the slide control system off,
setting level 1 provides the least amount of system intervention, and set-
ting level 3 provides the greatest
amount of system intervention.
LCS
LCS can be set to 1, 2, or OFF. Setting
level 2 more strongly controls power
engine output, while setting level 1 ap-
plies less system intervention. OFF dis-
ables the LCS function from the
selected YRC mode (the LCS icon will
not appear and the launch control func-
tion cannot be activated).
When LCS has been set to level 1 or 2
for the selected YRC mode, the LCS in-
dicator on the main screen will appear
in a grey color to indicate that LCS isavailable. When the launch control sys-
tem has been activated (made ready
for use via the mode switch), the LCS
indicator will turn white.
TIPLCS works in conjunction with the LIF
system. LCS cannot be used if LIF isturned off.
QSS
QSS can be set to 1, 2, or OFF. Setting
level 1 gives the fastest shifts, while
setting level 2 gives slightly smoother
shifts. OFF turns the system off entire-
ly, and the clutch lever must then be
used when making upshifts.TIPTurning the QSS on or off does not af-
fect any other systems nor is QSS af-
fected by the settings of any othersystem.
LIF
LIF can be set to 1, 2, 3, or OFF. Setting
level 3 most strongly reduces wheel lift,
and setting level 1 provides the least
amount of system intervention. OFF

settings.
ERS (YZF-R1M)
There are three automatic setting
modes; A-1, A-2, and A-3. A-3 is fixed
and cannot be adjusted. A-1 and A-2
can be adjusted to within a -5 to +5 off-
set of their factory preset settings.
There are three manual setting modes;
M-1, M-2, and M-3. When a manual
mode is selected, the SCU does not ac-
tively adjust the suspension compres-
sion and rebound damping forces.
Manual mode suspension settings are
adjustable to 32 levels.
TIP
A-1 and M-1 are preset for track
use with racing slick tires.

A-2 and M-2 are preset for track
use with street tires.

A-3 and M-3 are preset for street
use with street tires.

Spring preload is manually adjust-ed. (See pages 4-40 and 4-42.) To adjust the ERS mode settings
1. Select the “ ” mark located to the
right of ERS.
2. The display will change to the front and rear suspension setting
screen and the ERS mode selec-
tion box “SETTING” is highlighted.
Short push the wheel switch to en-
ter the box and select the ERS
mode A-1, A-2, M-1, M-2, M-3 that
you want to adjust. 3. Select the suspension item, Fr
COM, Fr REB, Rr COM, Rr REB,
that you want to adjust.
TIP
To decrease the damping force
and soften the suspension, in-
crease the setting level.

To increase the damping force and
harden the suspension, decrease
the setting level.
