It consists up of a distinctive sensor that can measure roll, yaw, and pitch. The G-sensor can measures its acceleration in any direction with the calculation rate of 125 calculations/second. The IMU communicates with the Suspension Control Unit and ECU, which stimulates the technologies in Yamaha Ride Control (YRC). This control unit includes the Power Mode, Lift Control System, Slide Control System, Traction Control System, Launch Control System and the all-new Ohlins Electronic Racing Suspension.

The Variable Traction Control System (TCS) reduces the rear wheel spin during cornering. Intervene of this system increases as the lean angle increases. There are ten different settings are available for the rider allowing him to select the best setting. The Slide Control System (SCS), Lift Control System (LIF), Launch Control System (LCS) and the Quick Shift System (QSS) works same as they work in 2017 Yamaha YZF-R1S. The new Yamaha 2017 YZF-R1M SuperSport Motorcycle uses the best YCC-T, which is a fly-by-wire technology that provides an optimum power delivery. The new YCC-I is the variable intake system, which broadens the spread of power in both low and high rpm. The new Yamaha 2017 YZF-R1M SuperSport Motorcycle features an outstanding full-color, thin-film transistor LCD meter that shows all the necessary required information.
Chassis/Suspension Features

The aluminum frame is very flexible and strong, housing the engine in the perfect position to have the best balance and performance on the race track. This heavy bike uses the latest Ohlins Electronic Racing Suspension. The Suspension Control Unit receives the data from Inertial Measurement Unit which adjust the damping for best suspension performance. This system is available in two modes i.e. A-1 and A-2 which automatically adjust the damping as rider rides. The Manual mode lets the rider for fine and sophisticated settings. The wheelbase is kept 10mm shorter than the 2014 Yamaha YZF-R1 while the ratio of swing arm length to wheelbase is about 40.5%, which is considered best for excellent handling. The new aluminum 4.5-gallon fuel tank weighs about 3.5 pounds less than the conventional steel tank. The all-new Anti-Braking System (ABS) and Unified Braking System (UBS) provides an improved braking performance. The UBS inhibits the unwanted rear end motion during the braking by activating the rear brake when its front brake is applied. The ADVICS 4-postion radial mounted front caliper uses the 320 mm rotors for better stopping power. The 10-spoke cast magnesium wheels reduce the rotational mass by 1.9 pounds as compared to the 2014 model. Its reduced unsprung weight makes the handling easier.
