
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.

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.

ABS warnin g li ght “ ”
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the vehicle is
turned on, and goes off after traveling
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or high-
er.TIPIf the warning light does not work as
described above, or if the warning light
comes on while riding, the ABS may
not work correctly. Have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle as soon as
possible.
WARNING

Shift in dicator li ght “ ”
This indicator light comes on when it is
time to shift to the next higher gear.
The engine speeds at which it comes
on or goes off can be adjusted. (See
page 4-25.)TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, this light
should come on for a few seconds and
then go off. If the light does not come

Immo bilizer system in dicator
li g ht “ ”
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
should come on for a few seconds and
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.

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.

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.
