gle mark - certain setting
screens have an upward pointing trian-
gle mark item. Select the triangle mark
to save setting changes made and exit
that screen.
TIP Should vehicle motion be detect-
ed, the screen will automatically
exit MENU and change to the
main screen.
 To ensure that the desired setting
changes are saved, be sure to exit
via the triangle mark. Simply per-
forming a long push and exiting
the MENU screen entirely may not
save setting changes.“Display Mo de”
There are two main screen display
modes, STREET MODE and TRACK
MODE.
To set the main screen display mode1. From the MENU screen, select “Display Mode”. 2. Select “STREET MODE” or
“TRACK MODE” (or select the tri-
angle mark to exit).
3. Long push the wheel switch to exit the MENU screen or use the wheel
switch to select another module. “YRC Settin
g”
This module allows you to customize
the four YRC modes MODE-A, MODE-
B, MODE-C, and MODE-D by adjust-
ing the setting levels (or on/off status
as applicable) of YRC items PWR,
TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS, LIF, EBM, and
BC. For YZF-R1M, you can select the
ERS mode to be associated with each
YRC mode, and also adjust the setting
levels of the ERS modes.
TIP The traction control system has 9
setting levels and ERS has 6
modes.
 Whenever there are more selec-
tions (setting levels or modes)
available than can be shown on
the screen at one time, a scroll bar
will appear to notify you that addi-
tional selections are available by
scrolling.PWR

Traction control system
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 9 setting levels available.
Setting level 1 applies the least amount of overall system intervention, while
setting level 9 applies the greatest
amount of overall traction control.
TIP
The traction control system can
only be turned on or off via the
main screen using the mode
switch.
 When the traction control system
has been turned off; SCS, LCS,
and LIF will also be set to OFF and
cannot be adjusted. When the
traction control system is turned
on again, these related-traction
control functions will return to their
previous setting levels.
SCS
SCS 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.
LCS
LCS can be set to 1, 2, or OFF. Setting
level 1 keeps engine speed from rising
above 9000 r/min even when the throt-
tle grip is fully turned. Setting level 2
keeps engine speed from rising above
8000 r/min. OFF disables the LCS
function from the selected YRC mode

Brake control system (BC)The brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels independently when the
respective brake lever or brake pedal is
applied and wheel lock is detected.
There are two settings, BC1 and BC2.
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.
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 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 with
the ABS than without.
BC2 incorporates standard ABS and in
addition regulates braking power when
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.
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 on
slippery surfaces.The ABS hydraulic unit is monitored by
the ABS ECU, which will revert the sys-
tem to conventional braking if a mal-
function occurs.
TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnosis test
when the vehicle is started and reach-
es a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h). During
this test, a clicking noise may be audi-
ble from the hydraulic control unit, and
a vibration may be felt at the brake le-
ver or pedal, but this is normal.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.1. Front wheel sensor rotor

4. Once the motorcycle has
stopped, the transmission can be
shifted into the neutral position.
The neutral indicator light should
come on and then the clutch lever
can be released.
WARNING
EWA17380
Improper braking can cause
loss of control or traction. Al-
ways use both brakes and apply
them smoothly.
 Make sure that the motorcycle
and the engine have sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a low-
er gear. Engaging a lower gear
when the vehicle or engine
speed is too high could make
the rear wheel lose traction or
the engine to over-rev. This
could cause loss of control, an
accident and injury. It could also
cause engine or drive train dam-
age.
EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
 Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
 Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the en-
gine.
 Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU17214
ParkingWhen parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
WARNING
EWA10312
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.
 Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasing the
risk of a fuel leak and fire.
 Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.
