2015 Yamaha Yzf-r on 2040-motos

Primary Electronic Settings

- PWR: Four available power settings. On the Cycle World Dynojet dyno, PWR 1 delivered a 167.4-hp run, while PWR 2 made around 7 hp less, PWR 3 another 3 hp less, and PWR 4 almost a whopping 55 less horsepower than PWR 1. Throttle response is noticeably more aggressive in PWR 1 and gets progressively less so in the lower power settings.

- TCS: Yamaha’s traction control system has nine levels of intervention plus Off. Not only does it compare front- and rear-wheel speed, but it takes into account lean angle—and all of the other information that the IMU gathers—to apply appropriate cuts.

- SCS: Yamaha is the first manufacturer to offer slide control on a production motorcycle. This MotoGP technology is possible because of the six-axis IMU, which can detect if the rear end is sliding out of line as opposed to just spinning the rear tire. Three settings and Off are available. Takes into consideration TCS and lean angle.

- LCS: Launch control limits rpm to 10,000 with the throttle wide open for drag, or roadrace starts, allowing the rider to focus on clutch release. Two settings vary how it tames TC/LIF with 1 being the most aggressive, and 2 intervening more, or you can deactivate it.

- QSS: The quickshifter has three settings, including Off, to help optimize the delay for smooth upshifts.

- LIF: Better known as wheelie control, three settings determine the height and therefore power cut to optimize drive at the track or strip. Or switch it off for full 12 o’clock showboating.
