How to use the settings MENU:
Rotate the wheel switch up or down to
highlight items or increase/decrease
values and briefly press the wheel
switch inward to confirm the selection.
Press and hold the wheel switch until
the screen returns to the main display
to exit the MENU at any time.
TIP Certain settings menu screens
have an upward pointing triangle
mark item. Select the triangle
mark to save settings changes
and exit the current screen.
 Should vehicle motion be detect-
ed, the screen will automatically
exit the settings MENU and return
to the main display. 
To ensure that the desired settings
changes are saved, be sure to exit
each menu via the triangle mark (if
displayed). Exiting the settings
menu by pressing and holding the
wheel switch may not save set-
tings changes.
“Display Settin g”
This module allows you to switch the
lap time mode and tachometer color
mode ON/OFF.
When the lap time mode is ON, the
twin vehicle information displays on
the main display screen will show a lap
timer and a lap counter. To exit the lap
time mode, the turn lap timer OFF in
the Display Setting module.

“Manual TCS Settin
g”
This module allows you to customize
the “TCS-MODE M” which is accessi-
ble on the main display using the
MODE switches.
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 3 setting levels available for
the “TCS-MODE M”. Setting level 1 applies the least amount
of overall system intervention, while
setting level 3 applies the greatest
amount of overall traction control.
TIP
TCS can only be turned on or off
via the main display using the
MODE switches.
 SCS and LIF can be turned off in-
dependently of TCS for “TCS-
MODE M”.
 When “TCS-MODE” has been set
to “OFF” on the main display:
TCS, SCS and LIF are all turned
off together.SCSSCS 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.
LIFLIF can be set to OFF, 1, 2, and 3. Setting level 1 provides the least
amount of system intervention and set-
ting 3 most strongly reduces the rate of
wheel lift.
OFF turns LIF off.

BC
The brake control system has two set-
tings, BC1 and BC2. Select BC1 when
only standard ABS is desired. Select
BC2 to have the brake control system
further regulate brake pressure while
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.TIPFor skilled riders and when riding at the
track, due to varying conditions, the
BC2 brake system may engage sooner
than expected relative to your desired
cornering speed or intended cornering
line.
QSThe quick shift system indicators are
divided into QS and QS sections.
QS and QS are not linked and
can be independently turned on or off.
QS can be set to ON or OFF.
OFF turns the respective upshift or
downshift function off, and the clutch
lever must then be used when shifting
in that direction.TIP
If the QSS setting cannot be
changed: turn the engine off with
the gear position set to neutral,
then change the setting.
 If the QSS is not equipped on the
vehicle: this module is still dis-
played and can be accessed from the settings MENU but it is inoper-
able and any changes cannot be
saved.
“Shift In
dicator”
This module allows a custom shift indi-
cator to be set. When the engine r/min
(rotations per minute) are in the speci-
fied range, the gear indicator will flash.
This module has 3 options:
“IND Mode” - the shift indicator can be
turned ON/OFF
“IND Start” - the r/min at which the in-
dicator starts flashing can be chosen.
Once selected, rotate the wheel switch
up/down to increase or decrease the
r/min value by increments of 200 r/min.
“IND Start” is settable between 6000 -
12800 r/min.

Once selected, rotate the wheel switch
up/down to increase or decrease the
r/min value by increments of 200 r/min.
“IND Stop” is settable between 6200 -
13000 r/min.
“Maintenance”
This module allows you to record the
distance traveled between engine oil
changes (use the OIL item), and for two
other items of your choice (use INTER-
VAL 1 and INTERVAL 2).
To reset a maintenance trip meter, se-
lect it and then press and hold the
wheel switch.
TIPMaintenance item names cannot be
changed.“Unit”
This module allows you to switch the
display between metric and imperial
measurement units.
When using kilometers, the fuel con-
sumption units can be changed be-
tween “km/L” or “L/100km”. When
using miles, MPG will be available.
Temperature units can be switched
between Celsius and Fahrenheit. “Brig
htness”
This module allows you to adjust the
general brightness level of the display
screens.
Select the desired brightness level by
rotating the wheel switch, and then
press the wheel switch to fix the setting
and return to the top MENU screen.

This module allows you to set the
clock.
When the clock module is selected, the
hours will be highlighted.
Set the hours by rotating the wheel
switch. Push the switch to confirm and
highlight the minutes.
After confirming the minutes, you will
be returned to the top MENU screen.
“All Reset”
This module resets all settings items
(except the odometers and Clock) to
their default or factory presets.
Select YES to reset all items. After se-
lecting YES, all items will be reset and
the screen will automatically return to
the top MENU screen.

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.)

Brake leverThe brake lever is located on the right
side of the handlebar. To apply the
front brake, pull the lever toward the
throttle grip.
The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, push the
brake lever away from the throttle grip
and rotate the adjusting dial. Make
sure the setting number on the adjust-
ing dial aligns with the match mark on
the brake lever.

Brake ped alThe brake pedal is located on the right

EAU91461
Brake control system (BC)The brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels independently when the
brakes are applied and wheel lock is
detected. This system has two settings
which can be changed in the settings
MENU. (See page 4-18.)
BC1 is standard ABS, which adjusts
brake pressure based on vehicle
speed and wheel speed data. BC1 is
designed to engage and maximize
braking when the vehicle is upright.
BC2 uses additional data from the IMU
to regulate applied brake power when
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes as
you would conventional brakes. When
the brake control system engages, a
pulsating sensation may be felt at the
brake lever or brake pedal as the hy-
draulic unit rapidly applies and reduces
brake pressure. In this situation, conti-
nue to apply the brake lever and brake
pedal to allow the ABS to work—do
not “pump the brakes” as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.

WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient d istance
from the vehicle ahea d to match the
ri din g speed even with ABS.
 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.The ABS hydraulic unit is monitored by
the ABS ECU, which will revert the sys-
tem to conventional braking if a mal-
function occurs.
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.
TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnostic
test when the vehicle is started and
reaches a speed of 5 km/h (3 mi/h).
During this test, a clicking noise may
be audible from the hydraulic control
unit, and a vibration may be felt at the
brake lever 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
