When the main switch is turned off and
30 seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily to indicate the
immobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, this light

then go off. If the light does not come
on, or if the light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.Transpon der interference
If the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this occurs, try the following. 1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.

When the fuel tank reserve level
has been reached, F-TRIP ap-
pears automatically and begins
recording distance traveled from
that point.
 After refueling and traveling some
distance, F-TRIP will automatically
disappear.
 See “Unit” on page 4-24 to
change the fuel consumption
units.
 The air temperature displayed
may vary from the actual ambient
temperature.
 In TRACK MODE, information dis-
play items FASTEST (fastest lap
time) and AVERAGE (average lap
time) are also available.
TRIP-1, TRIP-2, F-TRIP, FUEL CON,
and FUEL AVE items can be individual-
ly reset.
To reset information display items1. Use the wheel switch to scroll
through the display items until the
item you want to reset appears. 2. Short push the wheel switch and
the item will flash for five seconds.
(For STREET MODE, if both items
are resettable items, the top item
will flash first. Scroll down to se-
lect the bottom item.)
3. While the item is flashing, press and hold the wheel switch for one
second.
Transmission gear display
This shows which gear the transmis-
sion is in. This model has 6 gears and a
neutral position. The neutral position is
indicated by the neutral indicator
light “ ” and by the transmission gear
display “ ”.
Front brake pressure in dicator
This shows how much braking power
is being applied to the front brakes.
Acceleration in dicator
This shows the vehicle’s forward ac-
celeration and deceleration forces. Revolution peak hol
d in dicator
This small bar momentarily appears
within the tachometer to mark the most
recent peak engine speed.
YRC items
MODE/PWR/TCS/SCS/EBM
The current MODE (YRC mode) and its
related PWR, TCS, SCS, and EBM set-
tings are shown here.
The individual settings for YRC items
PWR, TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS, LIF, EBM,
and BC can be organized into four
groups and set independently for each
group. These groups of settings are the
YRC modes MODE-A, MODE-B,
MODE-C, and MODE-D. Use the mode
switch to change YRC modes or make
YRC item setting changes from the
main screen.
TIPThe YRC modes come preset from the
factory for different riding conditions.
When using the factory presets, the
suggested YRC modes are as follows.
MODE-A: suitable for track riding
MODE-B: softer track-riding setting
MODE-C: suitable for road use

the lap timer or stop the lap timer.
4. When the lap timer has been acti- vated, press the Pass/LAP switch
to start the lap timer.
TIPThe engine must be running to use
the lap timer.
 Set the information display to
FASTEST or AVERAGE for addi-
tional lap time information.
 Accessing the MENU screen will
automatically stop the lap timer.
 Whenever the lap timer is
stopped, the current lap will not be
recorded.
 The lap time record can be viewed
and reset from the MENU screen.

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 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 by
scrolling.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 de-
sirable.
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

tion off, and the clutch lever must then
be used when shifting in that direction.
TIP
Set QS to 1 for track or sporty
riding.
 Set QS to 2 for touring or
around town-riding.LIF
LIF can be set to 1, 2, 3, or OFF. Set-
ting level 3 most strongly reduces
wheel lift, and setting level 1 provides
the least amount of system interven-
tion. OFF turns LIF off and LCS will be
disabled for the selected YRC mode. EBM
This system has three settings. Level 1
provides the least amount of engine
brake management intervention, and
therefore the strongest amount of en-
gine braking. Level 3 provides the
greatest amount of engine brake man-
agement intervention, and therefore
the least amount of engine braking.
BC
Select BC1 when only standard ABS is
desired. Select BC2 to have the brake
control system regulate brake pressure
while cornering to suppress lateral
wheel slip.
TIPFor skilled riders and when riding at the
track, due to varying conditions BC2
brake system engagement may come
on sooner than expected relative to
your desired cornering speed or in-
tended cornering line.To customize a YRC mode or adjust aYRC item1. From the MENU screen, select
“YRC Setting”. 2. The “YRC Setting” screen is dis-
played, and the YRC mode box
“YRC” is highlighted. Short push

tions. For all modes and models,
spring preload is physically adjusted
by hand. (See pages 4-42 and 4-45.)
For track modes T-1 and T-2, the fol-
lowing settings can be adjusted:
BRAKE SUPPORT: reduces nosedive
(front-end pitch from braking)
CORNER SUPPORT: increases damp-
ing to absorb chassis fluctuations for
smooth cornering. Reduce this setting
for increased rear wheel grip.
ACCEL SUPPORT: reduces rear-end
squat (rear-end pitch due to accelera-
tion)
FRONT FIRM: hardens (H) or softens
(S) overall damping of the front sus-
pension
REAR FIRM: hardens (H) or softens (S)
overall damping of the rear suspension
For the road mode R-1, the following
settings can be adjusted:

(front-end pitch from braking)
FRONT FIRM: hardens (H) or softens
(S) overall damping of the front sus-
pension

TIPAll ERS modes regardless of type are
independent. Offset level setting
changes made in one mode are not
transferred to another mode.4. To adjust other ERS modes of thesame type, repeat from step 1. To
switch types or when finished, se-
lect the “ ” mark to return to the
main “YRC Setting” menu.
“Lap Time”
This module allows you to view and
delete the lap time record. The fastest
lap and the average lap time stored in
the lap time record are displayed at the
top of the screen. Use the wheel switch
to scroll and see all lap times. The top
three fastest laps will be highlighted in
silver. Up to 40 laps can be stored in
memory. If more than 40 laps are re-
corded, the oldest laps (starting from
