WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-cal circuits as soon as possible.
EAU67431
Shift timing indicator light
This indicator light can be set to come
on and go off at the desired engine
speeds and is used to inform the rider
when it is time to shift to the next higher
gear. (See page 4-24.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key to ON. The indicator light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to ON, or
if the indicator light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
EAU73120
Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadil
y to indicate the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
if the indicator light remains on, or if the
indicator light flashes in a pattern (if a
problem is detected in the immobilizer
system, the immobilizer system indica- tor light will flash in a pattern), have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIPIf the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. Ifthis occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle and all 3 keys to a Yamaha
dealer to have the standard keys
re-registered.

on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
EAU78410
Oil pressure and coolant tempera-
ture warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if the en-
gine oil pressure is low or if the coolant
temperature is high. If this occurs, stop
the engine immediately.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on again after going off briefly, and then
remain on until the engine is started. If
the warning light does not come on ini-
tially when the key is turned to “ON”,
have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.

ing light does not go off after start-
ing the engine or if it comes on while

The steering damper warning icon ap-
pears if a problem is detected in the
steering damper.
Coolant temperature warning “ ”
This icon comes on if the coolant tem-
perature reaches 117 
C (242 F) or
higher. Stop the vehicle and turn off the
engine. Allow the engine to cool.
NOTICE
ECA10022
Do not continue to operate the en-gine if it is overheating.
Oil pressure warning “ ”
This icon comes on when the engine oil
pressure is low. When the key is first
turned to ON, engine oil pressure has
yet to build, so this icon will come on
and stay on until the engine has been
started. NOTICE
ECA21210
If the warning light comes on when
the engine is running, stop the en-
gine immediately and check oil level.
If the oil level is below the minimum level, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it up to the cor-
rect level. If the oil pressure warning
light remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
Error mode warning “Err”
When an internal error occurs (e.g.,
communication with a system controller
has been cut off), the error mode warn-
ing will appear as follows.
“Err” and “ ” indicates an ECU error.
“Err” and “ ” indicates an SCU error.
“Err” only indicates an HCU (hydraulic
control unit) error.TIP
Depending on the nature of the er-
ror, the display may not function
properly and YRC settings may be
impossible to change. Additionally,
ABS and UBS may not function
properly. Use extra care when
braking and have a Yamaha deal-er check the vehicle immediately.

4. Long push the wheel switch to exit the MENU screen or use the wheel
switch to select another module. “YRC Setting”
This module allows you to customize
the four YRC modes MODE-A,
MODE-B, MODE-C, MODE-D by ad-
justing the setting levels (or on/off sta-
tus as applicable) of YRC items PWR,
TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS, and LIF. 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
TCS 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 byscrolling.
PWR
Select PWR-1 for the most aggressive
throttle response, PWR-2 and PWR-3
for smoother throttle grip/engine re-
sponse, and use PWR-4 for rainy days
or whenever less engine power is desir- able.
TCS
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.
