Speed ometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.TIPThe display can be switched between
kilometers and miles. See “Unit” on
page 4-24.Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine
speed, as measured by the rotational
velocity of the crankshaft, in revolu-
tions per minute (r/min).TIP In TRACK MODE, the tachometer
starts at 8000 r/min.
 In STREET MODE, the tachometer
can be color-adjusted and has a
revolution peak hold indicator
which can be turned on or off.NOTICE

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 informa-
tion 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
recording distance traveled from
that point.
 After refueling and traveling some
distance, F-TRIP will automatically
disappear.
 See “Unit” on page 4-24 to
change the fuel consumption
units.
 The air temperature displayed
may vary from the actual ambient
temperature.
 In TRACK MODE, information dis-
play items FASTEST (fastest lap
time) and AVERAGE (average lap
time) are also available.
TRIP-1, TRIP-2, F-TRIP, FUEL CON,
and FUEL AVE items can be individual-
ly reset.
To reset information display items1. 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 se-
lect the bottom item.)
3. While the item is flashing, press and hold the wheel switch for one
second.
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
display “ ”.
Front brake pressure in dicator
This shows how much braking power
is being applied to the front brakes.
Acceleration in dicator
This shows the vehicle’s forward ac-
celeration and deceleration forces. Revolution peak hol
d in dicator
This small bar momentarily appears
within the tachometer to mark the most
recent peak engine speed.
YRC items
MODE/PWR/TCS/SCS/EBM
The current MODE (YRC mode) and its
related PWR, TCS, SCS, and EBM set-
tings are shown here.
The individual settings for YRC items
PWR, TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS, LIF, EBM,
and BC 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 use

TIPWhen the malfunction indicator
light is on, YRC settings cannot be
adjusted.
 When a YRC function is actively
engaged that item cannot be ad-
justed. For example, when decel-
erating EBM cannot be adjusted.
 When a YRC item is highlighted
but cannot be adjusted, the YRC

ed YRC mode, its respective icon will
appear.
When LCS is registered for the current-
ly selected YRC mode, its icon will be
grey. To activate the launch control
system, press and hold the center but-
ton until the LCS icon stops flashing

Error mo de warnin g “Err”
When an internal error occurs (e.g.,
communication with a system control-
ler has been cut off), the error mode
warning will appear as follows.
“Err” and “ ” indicates an ECU error.
“Err” and “ ” indicates an SCU error.
“Err” only indicates an ABS ECU error.TIPDepending on the nature of the error,
the display may not function properly
and YRC settings may be impossible
to change. Additionally, ABS may not
function properly. Use extra care when
braking and have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle immediately.

angle mark to exit).
3. Long push the wheel switch to exit the MENU screen or use the wheel
switch to select another module. “YRC Settin
g”
This module allows you to customize
the four YRC modes MODE-A, MODE-
B, MODE-C, and MODE-D by adjust-
ing the setting levels (or on/off status
as applicable) of YRC items PWR,
TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS, LIF, EBM, and
BC. 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 by
scrolling.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 de-
sirable.
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

4 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 adjusted.
When TCS is turned on again,
these related-traction control
functions will return to their previ-
ous setting 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
setting level 3 provides the greatest
amount of system intervention.
LCS
LCS can be set to 1, 2, or OFF. Setting
level 1 keeps engine speed from rising
above 9000 r/min even when the throt-
tle grip is fully turned. Setting level 2
keeps engine speed from rising above
8000 r/min. OFF disables the LCS
function from the selected YRC mode (the LCS icon will not appear and the
launch control function cannot be acti-
vated).
When LCS has been set to level 1 or 2
for the selected YRC mode, the LCS
indicator on the main screen will ap-
pear in a grey color to indicate that
LCS is available. When the launch con-
trol system 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 is
turned off.QSS
The quick shift system is divided into
QS (upshift) and QS (downshift)
sections. QS and QS are not
linked and can be independently
turned on or off.
QS can be set to 1, 2, or OFF. Set-
ting level 1 is designed for maximum
acceleration, while setting level 2 is de-
signed to give smooth shifts at halfway
or less throttle openings. OFF turns the
