YRC (Yamaha Ride Control)Yamaha Ride Control is a system that
incorporates numerous sensors and
controls to support an improved riding
experience. The vehicle senses and
can react to forces along the longitudi-
nal (front-to-back), lateral (left-to-right),
and vertical (up-and-down) axes. Lean
angle and G-force accelerations are
also detected. This information is pro-
cessed multiple times a second and
the related physical systems are auto-
matically adjusted as necessary. The
following functions represent individual
YRC items which can be turned on/off
or adjusted to suit various riders and
riding conditions. For setting details,
see pages 4-11 and 4-16.
WARNING
EWA18221
The Yamaha Ri de Control (YRC) sys-
tem is not a su bstitute for the use of
proper ri din g techniques or the ex-
pertise of the operator. This system
cannot prevent loss of control
caused b y ri der errors such as trav-
elin g faster than warranted b y roa d
an d traffic con ditions, inclu din g loss of traction
due to excessive spee d
when enterin g turns, when acceler-
atin g har d at a sharp lean an gle, or
while brakin g, an d it cannot prevent
front wheel slip or front wheel lift. As
with any motorcycle, always ri de
within in your limits, be aware of sur-
roun din g con ditions, an d ri de ap-
propriately for those con ditions.
Become thorou ghly familiar with the
way the motorcycle han dles with
various YRC settin gs before at-
temptin g more a dvance d maneu-
vers.
PWR
The power delivery mode system con-
sists of four different control maps
which regulate throttle valve opening in
relation to the degree of throttle grip
operation, thus providing you with a
selection of modes to fit your prefer-
ences and the riding environment. TCS
The traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating. If
sensors detect that the rear wheel is
starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning),
the traction control system assists by
regulating engine power as needed un-
til traction is restored. The traction con-
trol system indicator/warning light
flashes to let the rider know that trac-
tion control has engaged.

WARNING
EWA20880
Make sure the engine has sufficient-
ly slowe d b efore shiftin g to a lower
g ear. En gag in g a lower gear when
the en gine speed is too high coul d
make the rear wheel lose traction.
This coul d cause loss of control, an
acci dent an d injury. It coul d also
cause en gine or d rivetrain damag e.
LCS
The launch control system helps the
rider achieve smooth and swift launch-
es from the starting grid. It keeps en-
gine speed from rising when the
throttle grip is fully turned. The LCS
regulates engine power output in con-
junction with the TCS and LIF systems
for optimal traction and reduced wheel
lift.NOTICE
ECA22950
Even when usin g LCS, the clutch le-
ver must b e released g ra dually to
avoi d clutch damag e.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.

4 “Wallpaper”
This module allows you to individually
set the STREET MODE and TRACK
MODE display background colors to
black or white for both day and night
settings. A photo sensor equipped in
the instrument panel detects lighting
conditions and will automatically
change the display between its day
and night settings. The photo sensor
also controls a subtle automatic bright-
ness adjustment function within both
day and night modes to suit ambient
light conditions.
To set the wallpaper
1. From the MENU screen, select
“Wallpaper”. 2. Select the mode you want to ad-
just (select DAY for daytime dis-
play settings or NIGHT for
nighttime display settings).
3. Select the background color (se- lect “BLACK” for a black back-
ground or “WHITE” for a white
background). 4. Select the triangle symbol to exit.
5. To set another background color,
repeat from step 2 or select the tri-
angle symbol to exit this module.

Clutch leverTo disengage the drivetrain from the
engine, such as when shifting gears,
pull the clutch lever toward to the han-
dlebar. Release the lever to engage the
clutch and transmit power to the rear
wheel.TIPThe lever should be pulled rapidly and
released slowly for smooth shifting.
(See page 6-3.)
EAU83690
Shift pe dalThe shift pedal is located on the left
side of the motorcycle. To shift the
transmission to a higher gear, move
the shift pedal up. To shift to the trans-
mission to a lower gear, move the the
shift pedal down. (See page 6-3.)
The shift rod is equipped with a shift
sensor, which is part of the quick shift
system. The shift sensor reads up and
down movement, as well as the
strength of the input force when the
shift pedal is moved.
TIPTo prevent unintended shifts, QSS is
programmed to ignore unclear input
signals. Therefore, be sure to shift us-
ing quick and sufficiently forceful in-
puts.


The ABS performs best with
lon g b rakin g d istances.
 On certain surfaces, such as
rou gh or g ravel roa ds, the b rak-
in g d istance may be lon ger with
the ABS than without.
BC2 incorporates standard ABS and in
addition regulates braking power when
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.
WARNING
EWA20891
The brake control system is not a
su bstitute for the use of proper ri d-
in g an d brakin g techniques. The
b rake control system cannot pre-
vent all loss of traction due to over-
b rakin g from excessive spee d, or
lateral wheel slip when brakin g on
slippery surfaces.The ABS hydraulic unit is monitored by
the ABS ECU, which will revert the sys-
tem to conventional braking if a mal-
function occurs.
TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnosis test
when the vehicle is started and reach-
es a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h). During
this test, a clicking noise may be audi-
ble from the hydraulic control unit, and
a vibration may be felt at the brake le-
ver or pedal, but this is normal.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to d amage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.1. Front wheel sensor rotor
