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.

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 traction control sys-
tem 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.Quick shifter
The quick shifter allows for clutch le-
ver-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. The quick shifter does not operate
when the clutch lever is pulled, there-
fore normal shifting can be done even
when the quick shifter is set to on.
Check the quick shifter indicator for
current status and usability informa-
tion.

Engine speed sufficiently away
from red zone
 Decelerating and throttle fully-
closed
TIPQS and QS can be individ-
ually set.
 Shifting into or out of neutral must
be done using the clutch lever.LIF
The lift control system reduces the rate
at which the front wheel will continue to
rise during extreme acceleration, such
as during starts or out-of-corner exits.
When front-wheel lift is detected, en-
gine power is regulated to slow front-
wheel lift while still providing good ac-
celeration.
BC
The brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels when the brakes are ap-
plied and wheel lock is detected. This
system has two settings. 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.
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.
ERS (YZF-R1M)
The electronic racing suspension by
ÖHLINS
® features OBTi (objective-
based tuning interface) for simplified,
situation-focused setting changes of
the automatic suspension control
modes. In addition, there are manual
modes which offer a finely-tuneable
traditional suspension set-up. The ERS
system is controlled by the SCU which
can adjust the front and rear suspen-
sion’s compression stroke and re-
bound stroke damping forces
independently. The automatic modes
will adjust suspension damping forces
based on running conditions.

Immo bilizer systemThis vehicle is equipped with an immo-
bilizer system to help prevent theft by
re-registering codes in the standard
keys. This system consists of the fol-
lowing:
 a code re-registering key
 two standard keys
 a transponder (in each key)
 an immobilizer unit (on the vehicle)
 an ECU (on the vehicle)
 a system indicator light (page 4-8) A
bout the keys
The code re-registering key is used to
register codes in each standard key.
Store the code re-registering key in a
safe place. Use a standard key for daily
operation.
When key replacement or re-register-
ing is necessary, bring the vehicle and
the code re-registering key along with
any remaining standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer to have them re-regis- tered.
TIP Keep the standard keys as well as
keys of other immobilizer systems
away from the code re-registering
key.
 Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch
as they may cause signal interfer-
ence.NOTICE
ECA11823
DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-REG-
ISTERING KEY! CONTACT YOUR
DEALER IMMEDIATELY IF IT IS
LOST! If the cod e re-registering key
is lost, the existin g stan dar d keys can still b
e used to start the vehicle.
However, re gisterin g a new stan-
d ar d key is impossi ble. If all keys
have been lost or damag ed , the en-
tire immo bilizer system must be re-
placed . Therefore, han dle the keys
carefully.  Do not su bmerse in water.
 Do not expose to hi gh tempera-
tures.
 Do not place near mag nets.
 Do not place near items that
transmit electrical si gnals.
 Do not han dle rou ghly.
 Do not grin d or alter.
 Do not disassem ble.
 Do not put two keys of any im-
mo bilizer system on the same
key rin g.
