This traction control system automati-
cally adjusts according to the vehicle’s
lean angle. To maximize acceleration,
when the vehicle is upright a less
amount of traction control is applied.
When cornering, a greater amount of
traction control is applied.
TIP
The traction control system may
engage when the vehicle travels
over a bump.
 You may notice slight changes in
engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control or other YRC
systems engage.
 When the traction control system
is turned off, SCS, LCS, and LIF
are also turned off automatically.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
substitute for ri din g appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction d ue
to excessive spee d when enterin g
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system automatically
turns on. The traction control system
can be turned on or off manually only
when the key is in the “ON” position
and the motorcycle is stopped.TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the motorcy-
cle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other
soft surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 7-19.) Usin g different size d
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.SCS
The slide control system regulates en-
gine power output when a sideward
slide is detected in the rear wheel. It
adjusts power output based on data
from the IMU. This system supports
the traction control system to contrib-
ute to a smoother ride.
EBM
The engine brake management system
reduces engine torque when deceler-
ating. The fuel injection, ignition timing,
and electronic throttle valve are elec-
tronically adjusted by the ECU. There
are 3 settings to suit the track, riding
conditions, or your personal prefer-
ence.

WARNING
EWA20880
Make sure the engine has sufficient-
ly slowe d b efore shiftin g to a lower
g ear. En gag in g a lower gear when
the en gine speed is too high coul d
make the rear wheel lose traction.
This coul d cause loss of control, an
acci dent an d injury. It coul d also
cause en gine or d rivetrain damag e.
LCS
The launch control system helps the
rider achieve smooth and swift launch-
es from the starting grid. It keeps en-
gine speed from rising when the
throttle grip is fully turned. The LCS
regulates engine power output in con-
junction with the traction control sys-
tem and LIF systems for optimal
traction and reduced wheel lift.NOTICE
ECA22950
Even when usin g LCS, the clutch le-
ver must b e released g ra dually to
avoi d clutch damag e.TIPLCS is intended for track use only.Quick shifter
The quick shifter allows for clutch le-
ver-less, electronically-assisted shift-
ing. When the sensor on the shift rod
detects the appropriate motion in the
shift pedal, engine power output is mo-
mentarily adjusted to allow for the gear
change to occur. The quick shifter does not operate
when the clutch lever is pulled, there-
fore normal shifting can be done even
when the quick shifter is set to on.
Check the quick shifter indicator for
current status and usability informa-
tion.


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.
