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 7-40).

If the engine oil pressure is low,
the oil pressure warning icon
will come on. Check the oil level
(see page 7-13).

If the warning light remains on
after letting the engine cool and
confirming the proper oil level,
have a Yamaha dealer check the

WARNING
EWA18210
Stop the vehicle before making any
setting changes. Changing settings
while riding can distract the opera-
tor and increase the risk of an acci-
dent.
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.TIPThe display can be switched between
kilometers and miles. See “Unit” onpage 4-22.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine
speed, as measured by the rotational
velocity of the crankshaft, in revolutions
per minute (r/min).TIP
In TRACK MODE, the tachometer
starts at 8000 r/min.

In STREET MODE, the tachome-
ter can be color-adjusted and has
a revolution peak hold indicatorwhich can be turned on or off.
NOTICE
ECA10032
Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer red zone.
Red zone: 14000 r/min and above
Information display
This section of the main screen is used
to show additional riding related infor-
mation such as air and coolant temper-
ature readings, tripmeters, and fuel
consumption statistics. The information
display items can be set into four
groups via the MENU screen.
The information display items are:
A.TEMP: air temperature
C.TEMP: coolant temperature
TRIP-1: tripmeter 1
TRIP-2: tripmeter 2
F-TRIP: fuel tripmeter
ODO: odometer
FUEL CON: the amount of fuel con-
sumed
FUEL AVG: average fuel consumption
CRNT FUEL: current fuel consumptionTIP
ODO will lock at 999999 and can-
not be reset.

TRIP-1 and TRIP-2 will reset to 0
and begin counting again after
9999.9 has been reached.

Warning icons
When an error is detected, the following
error-related warning icons will then be
viewable.

SCU trouble warning icon

Steering damper warning icon

Coolant temperature warning icon

Oil pressure warning icon
SCU trouble warning “ ”
(YZF-R1M)
The SCU trouble warning icon appears
if a problem is detected in the front or
rear suspension. Steering damper warning “ ”
The steering damper warning icon ap-
pears if a problem is detected in the
steering damper.
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
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-gine if it is overheating.
Oil pressure warning “ ”
This icon comes on when the engine oil
pressure is low. When the key is first
turned to ON, engine 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.
Error mode warning “Err”
When an internal error occurs (e.g.,
communication with a system controller
has been cut off), the error mode warn-
ing will appear as follows.
“Err” and “ ” indicates an ECU error.
“Err” and “ ” indicates an SCU error.
“Err” only indicates an HCU (hydraulic
control unit) error.TIP
Depending on the nature of the er-
ror, the display may not function
properly and YRC settings may be
impossible to change. Additionally,
ABS and UBS may not function
properly. Use extra care when
braking and have a Yamaha deal-er check the vehicle immediately.

8. Install the engine oil drain bolt and
its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.
9. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-tem have cooled down.NOTICE
ECA11621

In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.

Make sure that no foreign mate-rial enters the crankcase.
10. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
TIPAfter the engine is started, the oil pres-
sure and coolant temperature warning
light should go off if the oil level is suffi-cient.NOTICE
ECA22490
If the oil pressure and coolant tem-
perature warning light flickers or re-
mains on even if the oil level is
correct, immediately turn the engine
off and have a Yamaha dealer checkthe vehicle.
11. Turn the engine off, wait a few min- utes until the oil settles, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
12. Install the cowling and panel.
