1operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
 Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle’s electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a
dangerous loss of lights or engine
power.
Aftermarket Tires an d Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match
the performance capabilities and to
provide the best combination of han-
dling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. See page 7-19
for tire specifications and for informa-
tion on servicing and replacing your
tires.
Transportin g the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the motorcy-
cle in another vehicle. 
Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
 Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the off position and
that there are no fuel leaks.
 Shift the transmission into gear
(for models with a manual trans-
mission).
 Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or up-
per front fork triple clamp (and not,
for example, to rubber-mounted
handlebars or turn signals, or
parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
 The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the mo-
torcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

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 4-12 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. Traction control system
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.

4 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 consumption
TIP 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 chan-
ge 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.

TIPTurning off the traction control system
will turn off the SCS, LCS, and LIF sys-
tems for all YRC modes.YRC items LCS/QS/LIF/BC
The on/off status of YRC items LCS,
QSS, LIF, and BC is shown here. When
any of these systems are registered
(not set to OFF) for the currently select-
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
and turns white.TIPLCS, QSS, LIF, and BC system setting
levels can only be adjusted from the
MENU screen.ERS in dicator “ ” (YZF-R1M)
This icon shows the current ERS mo-
de. (See “YRC Setting” on page 4-16
and “ERS” on page 4-20 to change the registered ERS mode or adjust ERS
setting levels.) If the ERS mode disap-
pears from the ERS indicator (the icon
turns blank), stop the vehicle and wait
a few seconds until the mode reap-
pears.
TIP
The suspension will remain fixed
at its most recent settings until
self-reset has completed.
 If the ERS indicator does not re-
turn to normal, have a Yamaha
dealer inspect the vehicle.GPS in dicator “ ”
