YRC (Yamaha Ride Control)

Yamaha Ride Control is a system that
2
incorporates numerous sensors and
controls to support an improved riding
3 experience. The vehicle senses and
can react to forces along the longitudi-
nal (front-to-back), lateral (left-to-right),
4
and vertical (up-and-down) axes. Lean
angle and G-force accelerations are
5
also detected. This information is pro-
cessed multiple times a second and the
6
related physical systems are automati-
cally adjusted as necessary. The fol-
7
lowing functions represent individual
YRC items which can be turned on/off
8
or adjusted to suit various riders and
riding conditions. For setting details,
9
see pages 5-13 and 5-16.
WARNING
10
The Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) sys-
11 tem is not a substitute for the use of
proper riding techniques or the ex-
pertise of the operator. This system
12
cannot prevent loss of control
caused by rider errors such as trav-
13
eling faster than warranted by road
and traffic conditions, including loss
EAU93653 of traction due to excessive speed
when entering turns, when acceler-
ating hard at a sharp lean angle, or
while braking, and it cannot prevent
front wheel slip or front wheel lift. As
with any motorcycle, always ride
within in your limits, be aware of sur-
rounding conditions, and ride ap-
propriately for those conditions.
Become thoroughly familiar with the
way the motorcycle handles with
various YRC settings before at-
tempting more advanced maneu-
vers.
PWR
The power delivery mode system con-
sists of four different control maps
which regulate throttle valve opening in
EWA18221
relation to the degree of throttle grip op-
eration, thus providing you with a selec-
tion of modes to fit your preferences
and the riding environment.

Traction control system
The traction control system helps main-
tain traction when accelerating. If sen-
sors detect that the rear wheel is
starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning),
the traction control system assists by
regulating engine power as needed un-
til traction is restored. The traction con-
trol
flashes to let the rider know that traction
control has engaged.
