cally adjusts accordin
g to the vehicle’s
lean angle. To maximize acceleration,
when the vehicle is upright a less
amount of traction control is applied.
When cornering, a greater amount of
traction control is applied.
TIP
The traction control system may
engage when the vehicle travels
over a bump.

You may notice slight changes in
engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control or other YRC
systems engage.

When TCS is turned off, SCS,
LCS, and LIF are also turned offautomatically.
WARNING
EWA15432
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any motorcycle, ap-
proach surfaces that may be
slippery with caution and avoid es-pecially slippery surfaces.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system automatically
turns on. The traction control system
can be turned on or off manually only
when the key is in the “ON” position and
the motorcycle is stopped.TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the motorcy-
cle gets stuck in mud, sand, or othersoft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 7-18.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotationaccurately.
SCS
The slide control system regulates en-
gine power output when a sideward
slide is detected in the rear wheel. It ad-
justs power output based on data from
the IMU. This system supports the TCS
to contribute to a smoother ride.
LCS
The launch control system helps the
rider achieve smooth and swift
launches from the starting grid. It
keeps engine speed from rising above
8,000 r/min even when the throttle
grip is fully turned. The LCS regulates
engine power output in conjunction
with the TCS and LIF systems for op-
timal traction and reduced wheel lift.

NOTICE
ECA22950
Even when using LCS, the clutch le-
ver must be released gradually toavoid clutch damage.TIPLCS is intended for track use only.
QSS
The quick shift system allows for clutch
lever-less, electronically-assisted shift-
ing. When the sensor on the shift rod
detects the appropriate motion in the
shift pedal, engine power output is mo-
mentarily adjusted to allow for the gear
change to occur.
QSS does not operate when the clutch
lever is pulled, therefore normal shifting
can be done even when QSS is set to
on. Check the QS indicator for current
status and usability information. Upshifting conditions

Vehicle speed of at least 20 km/h
(12 mi/h)

Engine speed of at least 2200 r/min

Accelerating (open throttle)
Downshifting conditions

Vehicle speed of at least 20 km/h
(12 mi/h)

Engine speed of at least 2000 r/min

Engine speed sufficiently away
from red zone

Decelerating and throttle ful-
ly-closed
TIP
QS and QS can be individu-
ally set.

Shifting into or out of neutral mustbe done using the clutch lever.
LIF
The lift control system reduces the rate
at which the front wheel will continue to
rise during extreme acceleration, such
as during starts or out-of-corner exits.
When front-wheel lift is detected, en-
gine power is regulated to slow front-wheel lift while still providing good
acceleration.
ERS (YZF-R1M)
The electronic racing suspension by
Öhlins features OBTi (objective-based
tuning interface) for simplified, situa-
tion-focused setting changes of the au-
tomatic suspension control modes. In
addition, there are manual modes
which offer a finely-tuneable traditional
suspension set-up. The ERS system is
controlled by the SCU which can adjust
the front and rear suspension’s com-
pression stroke and rebound stroke
damping forces independently. The au-
tomatic modes will adjust suspension
damping forces based on running con-
ditions.

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.TIPThe display can be switched between
kilometers and miles. See “Unit” onpage 4-23.
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.

When the fuel tank reserve level has been reached, F-TRIP ap-
pears automatically and begins re-
cording distance traveled from that
point.

After refueling and traveling some
distance, F-TRIP will automatically
disappear.

See “Unit” on page 4-23 to change
the fuel consumption units.

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,
and FUEL AVE items can be individual-
ly reset.
To reset information display items
1. Use the wheel switch to scroll through the display items until the
item you want to reset appears.
2. Short push the wheel switch and the item will flash for five seconds.
(For STREET MODE, if both items
are resettable items, the top item
will flash first. Scroll down to select
the bottom item.)

Transmission gear display
This shows which gear the transmis-
sion is in. This model has 6 gears and a
neutral position. The neutral position is
indicated by the neutral indicator light
“ ” and by the transmission gear dis-
play “ ”.
Front brake pressure indicator
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 engine speed.
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.
MODE-A is suitable for track rid-
ing.

MODE-B is a softer track-riding
setting.

MODE-C is suitable for street rid-
ing.

MODE-D is suitable for touring orrainy weather.
To change YRC modes or make setting
changes1. Push the mode switch center but- ton to scroll left to right and high-
light the item you want to adjust. 2. Use the mode switch up button or
down button to change the select-
ed item value (vertical scrolling is
not possible).
TIP
Under certain conditions, such as
when the vehicle is in motion, the
throttle grip is turned, excessive
wheel slip is detected, etc., certain
YRC items cannot be adjusted.

When a YRC item is highlighted
but cannot be adjusted, the YRCitem box will return to black.

To adjust the ERS mode settings
1. Select the “ ” mark located to the right of ERS.TIPThe ERS setting menu is divided into
automatic and manual setting modes,
and the two types are accessed sepa- rately. Before moving to the ERS set-
ting menu, make sure the current ERS
mode corresponds to the same type
(automatic or manual) that you'd like to
adjust.
2. The display will change to the rele- vant suspension setting screen
and the ERS mode selection box
“SETTING” is highlighted. Short
push the wheel switch to enter the
box and select the ERS mode that
you want to adjust.
3. Select the suspension item that you want to adjust, and then rotate
the wheel switch to adjust the set-
ting level.TIPAll ERS modes regardless of type are
independent and should be set sepa-rately.
4. To adjust other ERS modes of the same type, repeat from step 1. To
switch types or when finished, se-
lect the “ ” mark to return to the
main “YRC Setting” menu.
