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.

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
MODE-D: street use or rainy weather
To change YRC modes or make set-ting changes1. Push the mode switch center but-
ton to scroll left to right and high-
light the item you want to adjust.
2. Use the mode switch up button or down button to change the select-
ed item value (vertical scrolling is
not possible).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
item box will return to black.
To turn off the traction control system,
select TCS with the center button, then
push and hold the up button until TCS
OFF is displayed. To turn the traction
control system back on, select TCS
OFF and then press the down button
(the traction control system will return
to its previous setting).
