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 consumption
TIP 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 chan-
ge 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.

(the LCS icon will not appear and the
launch control function cannot be acti-
vated).
When LCS has been set to level 1 or 2
for the selected YRC mode, the LCS
indicator on the main screen will ap-
pear in a grey color to indicate that
LCS is available. When the launch con-
trol system has been activated (made
ready for use via the mode switch), the
LCS indicator will turn white.
TIPLCS works in conjunction with the LIF
system. LCS cannot be used if LIF is
turned off.Quick shifter
The quick shifter is divided into QS
(upshift) and QS (downshift) sec-
tions. QS and QS are not linked
and can be independently turned on or
off.
QS can be set to 1, 2, or OFF. Set-
ting level 1 is designed for maximum
acceleration, while setting level 2 is de-
signed to give smooth shifts at halfway
or less throttle openings. OFF turns the respective upshift or downshift func-
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

or for YZF-R1M select the “ ”
mark to fine tune the ERS mode
settings.
ERS (YZF-R1M)
The ERS consists of three semi-active
automatic modes (T-1, T-2, and R-1)
and three manual setting modes (M-1,
M-2, and M-3). When an automatic
mode is selected, the SCU will adjust
the compression and rebound damp- ing forces based on running condi-
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:
BRAKE SUPPORT: reduces nosedive
(front-end pitch from braking)
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

EAU88462
Brake control system (BC)The brake control system regulates hy-
draulic brake pressure for the front and
rear wheels independently when the
respective brake lever or brake pedal is
applied and wheel lock is detected.
There are two settings, BC1 and BC2.
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.
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes as
you would conventional brakes. When
the brake control system engages, a
pulsating sensation may be felt at the
brake lever or brake pedal as the hy-
draulic unit rapidly applies and reduces
brake pressure. In this situation, conti-
nue to apply the brake lever and brake
pedal to allow the ABS to 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 with
the ABS than without.
BC2 incorporates standard ABS and in
addition regulates braking power when
cornering to suppress lateral wheel
slip.
WARNING
EWA20891
The brake control system is not a
substitute for the use of proper rid-
ing and braking techniques. The
brake control system cannot pre-
vent all loss of traction due to over-
braking from excessive speed, or
lateral wheel slip when braking on
slippery surfaces.The ABS hydraulic unit is monitored by
the ABS ECU, which will revert the sys-
tem to conventional braking if a mal-
function occurs.
TIPThe ABS performs a self-diagnosis test
when the vehicle is started and reach-
es a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h). During
this test, a clicking noise may be audi-
ble from the hydraulic control unit, and
a vibration may be felt at the brake le-
ver or pedal, but this is normal.NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.1. Front wheel sensor rotor

ShiftingShifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc.
This model is equipped with a quick
shifter. See pages 3-3 and 4-18.TIPTo shift into neutral ( ), gently de-
press the shift pedal from 2nd gear, or
slightly raise it while in 1st gear.
NOTICE
ECA22523
When shifting, press the shift
pedal firmly until you feel the
gear shift is complete.
 Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, nor tow the
motorcycle for long distances.
The transmission is properly lu-
bricated only when the engine is
running. Inadequate lubrication
may damage the transmission.
 Except when using the quick
shifter, always pull the clutch le-
ver when changing gears to
avoid damaging the engine,
transmission, and drivetrain.
EAU85370
To start out and accelerate
1. Pull the clutch lever to disengage the clutch.
2. Shift the transmission into first gear. The neutral indicator light
should go out. 3. Open the throttle gradually, and at
the same time, release the clutch
lever slowly.
4. After starting out, close the throt- tle, and at the same time, quickly
pull the clutch lever in.
5. Shift the transmission into second gear. (Make sure not to shift the
transmission into the neutral posi-
tion.)
6. Open the throttle part way and gradually release the clutch lever.
7. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.
EAU85380

WARNING
EWA17380
Improper braking can cause
loss of control or traction. Al-
ways use both brakes and apply
them smoothly.
 Make sure that the motorcycle
and the engine have sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a low-
er gear. Engaging a lower gear
when the vehicle or engine
speed is too high could make
the rear wheel lose traction or
the engine to over-rev. This
could cause loss of control, an
accident and injury. It could also
cause engine or drive train dam-
age.
EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
 Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
 Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the en-
gine.
 Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU17214
ParkingWhen parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
WARNING
EWA10312
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.
 Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasing the
risk of a fuel leak and fire.
 Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.
