TIPThis model uses a thin-film-transistor
liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) for
good contrast and readability in vari-
ous lighting conditions. However, due
to the nature of this technology, it is
normal for a small number of pixels to
be inactive.

Speed ometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s
traveling speed.TIPThe display can be switched between
kilometers and miles. See “Unit” on
page 4-24.Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine
speed, as measured by the rotational
velocity of the crankshaft, in revolu-
tions per minute (r/min).TIP In TRACK MODE, the tachometer
starts at 8000 r/min.
 In STREET MODE, the tachometer
can be color-adjusted and has a
revolution peak hold indicator
which can be turned on or off.NOTICE

Information display
This section of the main screen is used
to show additional riding related infor-
mation such as air and coolant temper-
ature readings, tripmeters, and fuel
consumption statistics. The informa-
tion display items can be set into four
groups via the MENU screen.
The information display items are:
A.TEMP: air temperature
C.TEMP: coolant temperature
TRIP-1: tripmeter 1
TRIP-2: tripmeter 2
F-TRIP: fuel tripmeter
ODO: odometer
FUEL CON: the amount of fuel con-
sumed
FUEL AVG: average fuel consumption
CRNT FUEL: current fuel consumptionTIP ODO will lock at 999999 and can-
not be reset.
 TRIP-1 and TRIP-2 will reset to 0
and begin counting again after
9999.9 has been reached.

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

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
