DisplayThe following items can be found on the
display:
TIPThis model uses a thin-film-transistor
liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) for
good contrast and readability in various
lighting conditions. However, due to the
nature of this technology, it is normal
for a small number of pixels to be inac-tive.
WARNING
EWA18210
Stop the vehicle before making any
setting changes. Changing settings
while riding can distract the opera-
tor and increase the risk of an acci-dent.
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.TIPThe display can be switched between
kilometers and miles. See “Unit” onpage 4-18.

To start the timer, press the dimmer/
pass switch down towards “PASS”.
Each press of the dimmer/pass switch
will increase the lap count by 1 and re-
set the current lap timer.
To pause the lap timer, press the wheel
switch inward.
To unpause the timer, press the dim-
mer/pass switch down towards “PASS”
and the timer will resume without count-
ing a new lap.
To exit the lap time mode, turn it off in
the settings MENU. (See page 4-16.)
TIP
The engine must be running to start the lap timer.

The headlight will flash when the
dimmer/pass switch is pressed.

Whenever the lap timer is paused,
it can be resumed using the dim-mer/pass switch.
Brake control icon “BC”
This icon is replaced by the auxiliary
system warning and coolant tempera-
ture warning indicators when they are
activated.
For more information on the BC system
see “BC” on page 3-6.
Error mode warning “Err”
When an internal error occurs (e.g.,
communication with a system controller
has been cut off), the error mode warn-
ing will appear as follows.
“Err” and “ ” indicator light indicates
an ECU error.
“Err” only indicates an ABS ECU error.
TIPDepending on the nature of the error,
the display may not function properly
and the traction control system settings
may be impossible to change. Addition- ally, ABS may not function properly.
Use extra care when braking and have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle im-
mediately.
Auxiliary system warning “ ”
This icon appears if a problem is de-
tected in a non-engine-related system.
Coolant temperature warning “ ”
This icon appears if the coolant temper-
ature reaches 116 
C (241 F) or high-
er. Stop the vehicle and turn off the
engine. Allow the engine to cool.NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-gine if it is overheating.
Oil pressure warning “ ”
This icon appears when the engine oil
pressure is low. When the vehicle is
first turned on, engine oil pressure has
yet to build, so this icon will come on
and stay on until the engine has been
started.

13 “Vehicle Setting”
The vehicle setting module allows you
to adjust setting for the BC and quick
shifter.
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 corneringline.
Quick shifterThe quick shifter indicators are divided
into QS and QS sections. QS
and QS are not linked and can be in-
dependently turned on or off.
The quick shifter can be set to ON or
OFF.OFF turns the respective upshift or
downshift function off, and the clutch le-
ver must then be used when shifting in
that direction.
TIPIf the quick shifter setting cannot be
changed: turn the engine off with the
gear position set to neutral, thenchange the setting.
“Shift Indicator”
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

Shift pedalThe 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 the transmission
to a lower gear, move the shift pedal
down. (See page 6-3.)
The shift rod is equipped with a shift
sensor, which is part of the quick shift-
er. 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, the quick shifter is programmed to ignore unclear
input signals. Therefore, be sure to shift
using quick and sufficiently forceful in-
puts.
EAU93080
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 knob. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, turn the ad-
justing knob while holding the lever
pushed away from the throttle grip.
Turn the adjusting knob in direction (a)
to increase the distance. Turn the ad-
justing knob in direction (b) to decrease
the distance.

Brake pedalThe brake pedal is located on the right
side of the motorcycle. To apply the
rear brake, press down on the brake
pedal.
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 4-17.)
BC1 is standard ABS, which adjusts
brake pressure based on vehicle speed
and wheel speed data. BC1 is de-
signed to engage and maximize brak-
ing 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, contin-
ue to apply the brake lever and brake
pedal to allow the ABS to work—do not
“pump the brakes” as this will reduce
braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.

On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer withthe 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
substitute for the use of proper rid-
ing and braking techniques. The
brake control system cannot pre-
vent all loss of traction due to
over-braking from excessive speed,
or lateral wheel slip when braking onslippery surfaces.TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnostic

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

Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of theABS will result.
