YRC (Yamaha Ride Control)

YRC is a system that incorporates nu-
merous sensors and controls to sup-
port an improved riding experience.
The vehicle senses and can react to
forces along the longitudinal (front-to-
back), lateral (left-to-right), and vertical
(up-and-down) axes. Lean angle and
G-force accelerations are also detect-
ed. This information is processed mul-
tiple times a second and the related
physical systems are automatically ad-
justed as necessary. The following
functions represent individual YRC
items which can be turned on/off or
adjusted to suit various riders and rid-
ing conditions. For setting details, see
page 6-26.
WARNING
The Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) sys-
tem is not a substitute for the use of
proper riding techniques or the ex-
pertise of the operator. This system
cannot prevent loss of control
caused by rider errors such as trav-
eling faster than warranted by road
and traffic conditions, including loss
of traction due to excessive speed
EAUA2682
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.
SC (Stability control system)
SC consists of TCS (traction control
system), SCS (slide control system),
LIF (lift control system) and BSR (back
EWA18221
slip regulator). These can be indepen-
dently adjusted in the menu system
(see page 6-26), or turned on/off all to-
gether by turning off TCS in the menu
system (see page 6-30).
When any of the SC systems engage
while riding, the stability control indica-
tor light " " will flash (see page 6-4).
PWR (Power delivery mode)
PWR 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 envi-
ronment.
Level 1 - Sporty engine response.
Level 2 - Moderate engine response.
Level 3 - Mild engine response.
Level 4 - Rainy days or whenever less
engine power is desirable.
