History
The FJR1300 was introduced to Europe in 2001 before arriving in North America in 2002, with the 2003 model year designation, and offered in a non-ABS version only. Motorcyclist magazine named the 2003 model Motorcycle of the Year. It had 298 mm front brake discs. It appeared in Europe in various colors: silver, blue, black and red.
The 2004 European model came in a range of colors, including Silver Storm. The 2004 North American models included both a non-ABS version with traditional blue anodized brake calipers and a new ABS version. Both were Cerulean Silver. Other refinements included an upgrade to the suspension rates, 320 mm front brake discs, and a fairing pocket for small items.
The 2005, North American model year remained structurally unchanged with a non-ABS and ABS model in Galaxy Blue.
In 2006, the U.S.
and rest of the world model years synchronized and design significantly changed including trailing arm changes, radiator curving, instrumentation changes, upgraded alternator and significant attention to airflow changes from reported heat issues in previous years. In response to these complaints, Yamaha added several adjustable vents to the FJR1300, allowing the rider to direct air to or away from the body. The base 2006 FJR1300A model has ABS with linked brakes and is Dark Blue Metallic while the Cerulean Silver colored FJR1300AE model features a semi-automatic transmission. The AE/AS model has YCCS, or Yamaha Chip-Controlled Shift. The rider can either utilize the standard foot shifter without the clutch lever, or shift via a mountain-bike style shifter on the left bar. The AE model continues in production through 2008.
For 2008, some minor changes were introduced, including an update to the altitude-related engine control unit issues and throttle 'feel', notably to improve low speed on/off throttle transitions. The colors announced in Europe are; Silver (Silver Tech), Black (Midnight Black) and Graphite. 2008 also sees minor changes in the ABS system.
Design
Engine
The FJR1300 has a 1,298 cc transverse-mounted inline-four engine with four valves per cylinder.
Transmission
The FJR1300 uses a five-speed manual gearbox with close ratio gears. The FJR1300AE/AS model features a semi-automatic transmission which Yamaha calls YCC-S (Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift). This system is a five-speed sequential manual gearbox with a computer controlled clutch that dispenses with the conventional clutch lever. These models have no lever on the left bar and instead have a mountain-bike style shifter operated with thumb and index finger. Gear shifts are completed in around 0.2 seconds. The conventional foot shifter may be used simultaneously. The gearbox pattern is also unconventional in that neutral is at the bottom end of the range. The ECU automatically controls the robotic clutch and ignition timing to ensure smooth gear shifting and will actuate the clutch at standstill. Stalling the engine is not possible.
Final drive is via shaft, encased within the swingarm, which has monoshock suspension with remote two-setting adjustable pre-load.
Chassis
The frame of the FJR1300 is a twin spar design manufactured from aluminum alloy, the engine is a fully stressed member.
Electrical system
The FJR1300 features a standard 12 volt electrical system, with a fused cigarette-lighter style accessory jack in the left central locking glovebox. The 2003 U.S. model does not have a glovebox or electrical outlet; model years 2004 and 2005 do not include the electrical outlet.
Other features
The FJR1300 features an electrically-adjusted screen controlled by a rocker switch on the handlebars. By default the shield returns to its lowest position when the key is off, however some riders choose to disable the 'return' feature. A number of new features were added beginning with the 2006 model year, including a rider-adjustable airflow system. AE models feature heated handlebar grips with speed sensitive adjustment. The handlebars are adjustable, with 3 positions, and the seat is adjustable to high or low, with about an inch between the positions. Locking side panniers are supplied as standard and each will take a full face helmet. Options include: fairing protectors, larger screen, color-coded top box.
Police models
Yamaha FJR1300A (2006) used by Danish police
In the UK, the FJR1300 has replaced the Honda ST1300 as the patrol motorcycle with several police forces, following the withdrawal of the Honda ST1300 Pan-European due to concerns over high speed handling.
Yamaha FJR 1300 is the patrol vehicle used by the police force of Trinidad and Tobago including the units in the convoy of the President and the Prime Minister.
