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: suitable for track riding
MODE-B: softer track-riding setting
MODE-C: suitable for road useMODE-D: street use or rainy weather
To change YRC modes or make settingchanges1. Push the mode switch center but-
ton to scroll left to right and high-
light the item you want to adjust.
