Be a Responsible Owner

As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your motorcycle.

Motorcycles are single-track vehicles. Their safe use and operation are dependent upon the use of proper riding techniques as well as the expertise of the operator. Every operator should know the following requirements before riding this motorcycle.

He or she should:

Obtain thorough instructions from a competent source on all aspects of motorcycle operation.

Observe the warnings and maintenance requirements in this Owner’s Manual.

Obtain qualified training in safe and proper riding techniques.

Obtain professional technical service as indicated in this Owner’s Manual and/or when made necessary by mechanical conditions.

Never operate a motorcycle without proper training or instruction.

Take a training course. Beginners should receive training from a certified instructor. Contact an authorized motorcycle dealer to find out about the training courses nearest you.

Safe Riding

Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.

This motorcycle is designed to carry the operator and a passenger.

The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of automobile/motorcycle accidents. Many accidents have been caused by an automobile driver who did not see the motorcycle. Making yourself conspicuous appears to be very effective in reducing the chance of this type of accident.

Therefore:

• Wear a brightly colored jacket.

•Use extra caution when you are approaching and passing through intersections, since intersections are the most likely places for motorcycle accidents to occur.

•Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist’s blind spot.

•Never maintain a motorcycle without proper knowledge. Contact an authorized motorcycle dealer to inform you on basic motorcycle maintenance. Certain maintenance can only be carried out by certified staff.

Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license.

•Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your motorcycle to other qualified operators.

•Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.

•We recommend that you prac-

1-1

SAFETY INFORMATION

tice riding your motorcycle where there is no traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle and all of its controls.

Many accidents have been caused by error of the motorcycle operator. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn due to excessive speed or undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed).

•Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions.

•Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see you.

The posture of the operator and passenger is important for proper control.

•The operator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle.

•The passenger should always hold onto the operator, the seat strap or grab bar, if equipped,

with both hands and keep both feet on the passenger footrests. Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests.

Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

This motorcycle is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable for off-road use.

Protective Apparel

The majority of fatalities from motorcycle accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safety helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.

Always wear an approved helmet.

Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision that could delay seeing a hazard.

The use of a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or reducing abrasions or lacerations.

Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the

	control levers, footrests, or wheels	1
	and cause injury or an accident.

Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet. The engine or exhaust system become very hot during or after operation and can cause burns.

A passenger should also observe the above precautions.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death.

Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-

1-2

SAFETY INFORMATION

MENT.

1 Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.

Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or carports.

Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors.

Loading

Adding accessories or cargo to your motorcycle can adversely affect stability and handling if the weight distribution of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use extreme caution when adding cargo or accessories to your motorcycle. Use extra care when riding a motorcycle that has added cargo or accessories. Here, along with the information about accessories below, are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo to your motorcycle:

The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit.

Operation of an overloaded vehicle could cause an accident.

Maximum load:

188 kg (414 lb)

When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:

Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible. Securely pack your heaviest items as close to the center of the vehicle as possible and make sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the motorcycle to minimize imbalance or instability.

Shifting weights can create a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

•Properly adjust the suspension for your load (suspension-ad-

justable models only), and check the condition and pressure of your tires.

•Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebar, front fork, or front fender. These items, including such cargo as sleeping bags, duffel bags, or tents, can create unstable handling or a slow steering response.

This vehicle is not designed to pull a trailer or to be attached to a sidecar.

Genuine Yamaha Accessories

Choosing accessories for your vehicle is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha accessories, which are available only from a Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved by Yamaha for use on your vehicle.

Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and accessories or offer other modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test the products that these aftermarket companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither en-

1-3

SAFETY INFORMATION

dorse nor recommend the use of accessories not sold by Yamaha or modifications not specifically recommended by Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and Modifications

While you may find aftermarket products similar in design and quality to genuine Yamaha accessories, recognize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable because of potential safety hazards to you or others. Installing aftermarket products or having other modifications performed to your vehicle that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation characteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible for injuries related to changes in the vehicle.

Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Loading” when mounting accessories.

Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your motorcycle. Carefully inspect the accessory before

using it to make sure that it does not in any way reduce ground clearance or cornering clearance, limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.

•Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic changes. If accessories are added to the handlebar or front fork area, they must be as lightweight as possible and should be kept to a minimum.

•Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to aerodynamic effects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may become unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large vehicles.

•Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the free-

dom of movement of the opera-

tor and may limit control ability, 1 therefore, such accessories are

not recommended.

Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of the motorcycle’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

Aftermarket Tires and Rims

The tires and rims that came with your motorcycle were designed to match the performance capabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 7-18 for tire specifications and more information on replacing your tires.

Transporting the Motorcycle

Be sure to observe following instructions before transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle.

Remove all loose items from the motorcycle.

1-4

SAFETY INFORMATION

 Check that the fuel cock (if

1equipped) is in the “OFF” position and that there are no fuel leaks.

Point the front wheel straight ahead on the trailer or in the truck bed, and choke it in a rail to prevent movement.

Shift the transmission in gear (for models with a manual transmission).

Secure the motorcycle with tie-downs or suitable straps that are attached to solid parts of the motorcycle, such as the frame or upper front fork triple clamp (and not, for example, to rubber-mount- ed 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 compressed somewhat by the tie-downs, if possible, so that the motorcycle will not bounce excessively during transport.

YRC (Yamaha Ride Control)

Yamaha Ride Control is a system that incorporates numerous sensors and controls to support an improved riding

3

experience. The vehicle senses and can react to forces along the longitudal (front-to-back), lateral (left-to-right), and vertical (up-and-down) axes. Lean angle and G-force accelerations are also detected. This information is processed multiple times a second and the related physical systems are automatically adjusted as necessary. The functions listed below represent individual YRC items which can be turned on/off or adjusted to suit various riders and riding conditions. For setting details see “MENU” on page 4-14.

EWA18220

WARNING

The Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) system is not a substitute for the use of proper riding techniques or the expertise of the operator. This system cannot prevent loss of control caused by rider errors such as traveling faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions, including loss

of traction due to excessive speed when entering turns, when accelerating hard at a sharp lean angle, or while braking, and it cannot prevent front wheel slipping or lift (“wheelies”). As with any motorcycle, always ride within in your limits, be aware of surrounding conditions, and ride appropriately for those conditions. Become thoroughly familiar with the way the motorcycle handles with various YRC settings before attempting more advanced maneuvers.

PWR

The power delivery mode system consists of four different control maps which regulate throttle valve opening in relation to the degree of throttle grip operation, thus providing you with a selection of modes to fit your preferences and the riding environment.

TCS

The traction control system helps maintain traction when accelerating. If sensors detect that the rear wheel is starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning), the traction control system assists by regulating engine power as needed until traction is restored. The traction control system indicator/warning light flashes to let the rider know that traction control has engaged.

This traction control system automati-

3-1

SPECIAL FEATURES

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.

TCS

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 TCS is turned off, SCS, LCS, and LIF are also turned off automatically.

EWA15432

WARNING

The traction control system is not a substitute for riding appropriately for the conditions. Traction control cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when entering turns, when accelerating hard at a sharp lean angle, or while braking, and cannot prevent front wheel slipping. As with any motorcycle, approach surfaces that may be slippery with caution and avoid especially slippery 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.

TIP

Turn the traction control system off to help free the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft surfaces.

ECA16801

NOTICE

Use only the specified tires. (See page 7-18.) Using different sized tires will prevent the traction control system from controlling tire rotation 3 accurately.

SCS

The slide control system regulates engine 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 TCS to contribute to a smoother ride.

LCS

The launch control system helps the rider achieve smooth and swift launches from the starting grid. It keeps engine speed from rising above 10,000 r/min even when the throttle grip is fully turned. The LCS regulates engine power output in conjunction with the TCS and LIF systems for optimal traction and reduced wheel lift.

3-2

SPECIAL FEATURES

ECA22950

NOTICE

Even when using LCS, the clutch lever must be released gradually to avoid clutch damage.

3

TIP

LCS is intended for track use only.

QSS

The quick shift system allows for full-throttle, clutch lever-less, electroni- cally-assisted upshifts. When the switch positioned on the shift lever rod detects motion in the shift lever, engine power output is adjusted and drive torque is momentarily cancelled out to allow for the gear change to occur.

TIP

QSS operates when traveling at least 20 km/h with an engine speed of 2000 r/min or higher and only when accelerating.

QSS does not operate when the clutch lever is pulled.

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, engine power is regulated to slow front-wheel lift while still providing good acceleration.

ERS (YZF-R1M)

The Electronic Racing Suspension by Öhlins features electrically-controlled suspension damping. The system is controlled by the SCU which makes independent adjustments of both the front and rear suspension’s compression stroke and rebound stroke damping forces. There are two modes, automatic and manual. Automatic mode is an active suspension control system which actively adjusts suspension damping forces based on running conditions. Manual mode is a finely-tu- neable traditional suspension set-up.

1.Code re-registering key (red bow)

2.Standard keys (black bow)

This vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system to help prevent theft by re-registering codes in the standard keys. This system consists of the following:

a code re-registering key (with a red bow)

two standard keys (with a black bow) that can be re-registered with new codes

a transponder (which is installed in the code re-registering key)

an immobilizer unit

an ECU

an immobilizer system indicator

light (See page 4-7.)

The key with the red bow is used to register codes in each standard key. Since re-registering is a difficult process, take the vehicle along with all three keys to a Yamaha dealer to have them re-reg- istered. Do not use the key with the red bow for driving. It should only be used for re-registering the standard keys. Always use a standard key for driving.

ECA11822

NOTICE

DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-registering key is lost, registering new codes in the standard keys is impossible. The standard keys can still be used to start the vehicle, however if code re-registering is required (i.e., if a new standard key is made or all keys are lost) the entire immobilizer system must be replaced. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use either standard key and keep the code re-registering key in a safe

place.

Do not submerse any key in water.

Do not expose any key to excessively high temperatures.

Do not place any key close to magnets (this includes, but not limited to, products such as speakers, etc.).

Do not place items that transmit electrical signals close to any key.

Do not place heavy items on any key.

Do not grind any key or alter its shape.

Do not disassemble the plastic part of any key.

Do not put two keys of any immobilizer system on the same key ring.

Keep the standard keys as well as keys of other immobilizer systems away from this vehicle’s code re-registering key.
