EAU67041
Brake systemThis model is equipped with an inte-
grated anti-lock brake system (ABS)
and a variable unified brake system
(UBS).
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes as
you would conventional brakes. If the
ABS is activated, a pulsating sensation
may be felt at the brake lever or brake
pedal. In this situation, continue to ap-
ply the brakes and let the ABS 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 withthe ABS than without.
The ABS and UBS hydraulic control
unit is monitored by the ABS ECU,
which will revert the system to conven- tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test when the vehicle is started
and reaches a speed of 10 km/h (6
mi/h). During this test, a “clicking”
noise may be audible from the hy-
draulic control unit, and a vibration
may be felt at the bake lever or
pedal, but this is normal.

This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is oper-
ating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult yourYamaha dealer.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of theABS will result.
Regarding variable UBS, operating the
brake lever will generate corresponding
brake pressure at the front brake and to
a variable degree, the rear brake. The

12 amount of rear wheel braking force to
be applied by the UBS is based on ve-
hicle attitude and lean angle. However,
operating only the brake pedal will not
generate any brake pressure at the
front brake.
For full braking performance, apply
both the brake lever and brake pedal si-
multaneously.
When both the brake lever and the
brake pedal are applied simultaneous-
ly, the UBS will control the distribution
of braking force between the two
wheels.
TIP
The UBS does not function until
the vehicle starts moving.

After coming to a stop while apply-
ing the brake lever, the UBS is still
enabled. As further squeezing of
the brake lever will not increase
the braking power of the rear
brake, apply the rear brake should
further braking power be neces-
sary (such as when parking on a
slope).
The UBS disables after the brake
lever is released. When the vehicle starts moving,
the UBS is re-enabled.

it 1/4 turn clockwise. The lock will be re-
leased and the fuel tank cap can be
opened.
To close the fuel tank cap
With the key still inserted in the lock,
push down the fuel tank cap. Turn the
key 1/4 turn counterclockwise, remove
it, and then close the lock cover.TIPThe fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-1. Fuel tank cap lock cover

the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, followthese instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in1. Fuel tank filler tube

Fuel tank overflow hoseBefore operating the vehicle:
Check the fuel tank overflow hose
connection.

Check the fuel tank overflow hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if necessary.

Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank overflow hose is not blocked,
and clean it if necessary.

Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank overflow hos e is positioned as
shown.
TIPSee page 7-12 for canister information.
EAU13434
Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.

Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.

Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.

Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up ofheat.

Adjusting th e shock absorber
assembly
WARNING
EWA10222
This shock absorber assembly con-
tains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assembly.

Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber assembly to an open
flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to ex-
plode due to excessive gas
pressure.

Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.

Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out shock absorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamahadealer for any service.
NOTICE
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond themaximum or minimum settings.
For YZF-R1:
This model is equipped with adjustable
suspension. The spring preload, re-
bound damping force, fast compres-
sion damping force, and slow
compression damping force can be ad-
justed.
Spring preload
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the spring preload and thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting ring in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting ring in
direction (b).
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A.
The longer distance A is, the high-
er the spring preload; the shorter
distance A is, the lower the spring preload.

Use the special wrench includ-
ed in the owner’s tool kit to
make the adjustment.
