Features

 

Key Features:

 

  • For 2009, the FJR1300A receives an updated clutch to reduce lever pressure for rider comfort.

  • For 2009, the FRJ1300AE receives new mapping for YCC-S which aids with improved response while downshifting from neutral.

  • Yamaha exclusive electric-shift five-speed transmission eliminates the clutch lever entirely—now you can click off super-smooth shifts using either the left bar-mounted paddles or the foot-operated gearshift lever. (only on the FJR1300AE model)

  • A light-and-rigid aluminum frame, sportbike running gear and standard hard sidebags go beautifully together.

  • Pushbutton adjustable windscreen and a thick comfy seat for two are perfect for comfortable, long-distance riding.

  • The world’s first supersport touring bike boasts standard ABS and adjustable ergonomics that widen the gap between it and common sport tourers to a gaping chasm.

  • Advanced air management system and adjustable bodywork keep the FJR rider looking and feeling cool.
  •  

    Engine:

     

  • Compact, lightweight 1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine delivers power and torque for an unequaled spread of muscle over a wide rpm range.

  • Another Yamaha first: a computer operated clutch and electronic shift actuators eliminate the need to operate the clutch. Yamaha Chip Control Shifting snaps off clean up- and downshifts every time using either the left bar-mounted paddles or the low-effort foot shifter. (only on the FJR1300AE model)

  • Engine is a fully stressed chassis member, allowing for a lightweight frame design and balance rigidity for optimal handling.

  • Curved radiator with custom ducting and twin-ring cooling fans keep engine and cockpit cool.

  • Slant-block engine design uses stacked, tri-axis gearbox shafts that help minimize powerplant size while optimizing chassis geometry for balanced weight distribution and great handling.

  • Lightweight forged pistons with carburized connecting rods provide superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass for outstanding high-rpm durability.

  • Patented electroplated ceramic composite cylinder bores ensure greater heat dissipation and thus reduced frictional power loss.

  • Advanced fuel injection system is ideal for long-distance supersport-touring, delivering crisp, seamless throttle response in a variety of altitude/weather conditions.

  • Gearshift shaft features a needle-roller bearing to reduce friction for silky-smooth shifting.

  • Shaft final drive system is super-durable and virtually maintenance-free.

  • Low-vibration crankshaft with two gear-driven secondary counterbalancers help deliver a glass-smooth ride with reduced rider/passenger fatigue.

  • Constant-mesh 5-speed transmission utilizes wide ratios to deliver relaxed long-distance touring performance combined with seamless power and acceleration.

  • Four-into-one-into-two stainless-steel exhaust optimizes engine performance across the powerband.

  • Wet-sump oil system uses an easy-access cartridge-type oil filter mounted on the engine’s left side.
  •  

    Chassis/Suspension:

     

  • Sharp-looking bodywork and air-management system keep the bike and rider cooler; a central vent beneath the instrument panel cools the rider and reduces negative pressure, and fairing side panels with 1.2-inch adjustability let the rider direct airflow.

  • Adjustable ergonomics: the seat can be adjusted by nearly an inch, and handlebar pullback angle is three-position adjustable over a half-inch range.

  • Long swingarm provides even better ride and handling characteristics, and rear spring preload adjustment is a snap.

  • Standard equipment Unified Braking System w/ABS: The front brake lever activates six of the eight front braking pistons; the rear brake pedal activates two rear pistons and the other two front pistons—for balanced anti-lock braking in all conditions.

  • Ergonomically shaped, large-capacity, 6.6-gallon fuel tank offers excellent comfort and range and is constructed of steel allowing for the use of magnetic tankbags.

  • Rear frame with integrated grab handle makes lifting the bike onto the centerstand a snap.

  • An additional catalyst and a heated oxygen sensor are located in the exhaust for increased control range and low emissions.

     

    Additional Features:

  • Slim profile even with bags in place for excellent in-town maneuverability.

  • Subframe-fitted quick-release luggage mounts provide easy use of the standard accessory hard sidecases, which are conveniently matched to the ignition key.

  • Long dual seat features two-part construction using different foam densities for the front and rear sections, ensuring plush comfort for both rider and passenger.

  • Big windscreen adjusts over a wide range for improved wind protection with little negative pressure.

  • Instrument panel contains an electronic analog speedometer and tachometer; LCD digital odometer, dual tripmeters, gear position indicator, fuel, coolant and air temperature gauges, and clock; lights for neutral, high beam, turn signals, low oil and engine warnings—as well as real-time mileage, average mileage and air temperature.

  • Sleek, cat-eye dual 12V 60/55-watt multi-reflector headlights throws an extremely broad beam for superb visibility and feature easy-access adjustment knobs; mirrors are easy to adjust and retract horizontally.

  • Powerful dual-bulb taillight features integrated turn signals for a slick, one-piece look that’s aerodynamic and conspicuous.

  • Integrated front turn signals with clear lenses add to the FJR1300AE’s cutting-edge aerodynamic bodywork.

  • Glove box contains a 12V outlet for phones, GPS units, electric vests, etc.

  • Standard toolkit located in convenient storage compartment under passenger seat.
