
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.

TIPThe engine is sensitively monitored by
the on-board diagnostic system to de-
tect deterioration or malfunction of the
emission control system. Therefore the
MIL may come on or flash due to vehi-
cle modifications, lack of maintenance,
or excessive/improper use of the mo-
torcycle. To prevent this, observe
these precautions.
 Do not attempt to modify the soft-
ware of the engine control unit.
 Do not add any electrical acces-
sories that interfere with engine
control.
 Do not use aftermarket accesso-
ries or parts such as suspension,
spark plugs, injectors, exhaust
system, etc.
 Do not change the drivetrain
specifications (chain, sprockets,
wheels, tires, etc.).
 Do not remove or alter the O2 sen-
sor, air induction system, or ex-
haust parts (catalysts or EXUP,
etc.).
 Maintain the drive chain properly.
 Maintain correct tire pressure. 
Maintain proper brake pedal
height to prevent rear brake from
dragging.
 Do not operate the vehicle in an
extreme manner. For example, re-
peated or excessive opening and
closing of the throttle, racing,
burnouts, wheelies, extended
half-clutch use, etc.
