The system is activated using a switch on the LHS switch gear. Each mode offers a different level of slip control.
Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) electronically controls the throttle valves for outstanding response and improved controllability at all rpms. The YCC-T is used to provide even more control of the intake air volume for smoother torque character. Similar to the R6 design, the YCC-T features 3 - ECU's inside the main ECU to control ignition, fuel injection and the YCC-T. This
special ECU is capable of responding to changes at a speed of 1000th of a second.
