1operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
 Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle’s electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a
dangerous loss of lights or engine
power.
Aftermarket Tires an d Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match
the performance capabilities and to
provide the best combination of han-
dling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. See page 7-19
for tire specifications and for informa-
tion on servicing and replacing your
tires.
Transportin g the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the motorcy-
cle in another vehicle. 
Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
 Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the off position and
that there are no fuel leaks.
 Shift the transmission into gear
(for models with a manual trans-
mission).
 Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or up-
per front fork triple clamp (and not,
for example, to rubber-mounted
handlebars or turn signals, or
parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
 The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the mo-
torcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

Instrument and control functions

(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
