2013 Yamaha FJR1300A ABS Features and Benefits


Engine:


• Revised 1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled inline-four engine delivers serious power and torque (102 ft-lbs of torque @ 7000 rpm) for an unequalled spread of muscle over a wide RPM range. Red line is a surprisingly low 9,000 rpm for extended engine life.

• Engine is a fully stressed chassis member, allowing for a lightweight yet rigid frame design for excellent handling.

• One-piece cylinder and upper crankcase assembly provides tremendous engine rigidity that's lighter and stiffer than two-piece designs.

• Specially designed four-valve per cylinder head features compact, side-driven double-overhead camshafts providing outstanding low to mid rpm torque and horsepower for effortless sport touring and great passing power.

• Exhaust valves feature carburized tips where the valve contacts the shim for excellent durability. Carburizing is a heat treating process that increases the carbon content of a part and as a result improves strength and durability.

• Specially designed high lift intake and exhaust cams provide excellent torque and power characteristics well suited to sport touring.

• Ceramic composite cylinder "bores" are a "liner less" design with the ceramic coating applied directly to the cast aluminium block to ensure uniform heat dissipation for consistent power delivery, reduced oil consumption, reduced friction and reduced weight (since there is no additional cylinder liner).

• High performance, short skirt, forged aluminium pistons are light weight for fast throttle response and also reduce reciprocating mass for less mechanical vibration. Compression ratio is 10.8:1

• Revised piston ring tension reduces internal friction and improves fuel economy.

• Specially designed, low-vibration crankshaft features two gear-driven secondary counter balancers delivering a smooth ride, which enhances both rider and passenger comfort.

• The crank uses carburized connecting rods for excellent strength and durability.

• Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces both maintenance and engine mechanical noise.

• Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (T.C.I.) provides a hot spark for sure starts and strong engine performance.

• High performance direct ignition coils (ignition coil is built directly into the spark plug cap) significantly reduce weight and save space.

• 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 very accurate control of the intake air volume for smoother torque character and throttle response. The YCC-T features 3 - ECU's inside the main ECU to control ignition, fuel injection and the YCC-T function. This all new ECU is capable of responding to changes at a speed of 1000th of a second.

• The rider can "mechanically close" the throttles by simply closing the throttle twist grip.

• New traction control system works in conjunction with the YCC-T system. Utilizing front and rear wheel sensors, this system senses when the rear wheel begins to spin and modifies the YCC-T function, ignition timing and fuel injection to reduce power and eliminate wheel spin. The actuation button is on the multifunction instrument panel as is the status indicator / warning light. The traction control system helps maintain traction when accelerating on slippery surfaces. The system automatically is engaged when the ignition is turned on. The traction control system can be turned off if desired.

• Yamaha D-Mode variable throttle control, also a function of the YCC-T, enables the rider to adjust the performance characteristics of the engine based on riding conditions or rider preferences. The "S mode" provides sportier engine response in the low to mid speed range (full engine power) while the "T mode" reduces engine response across the rpm range. The "T mode" is well suited for more relaxed touring and reduces fuel consumption. The D-Mode switch is located on the R.H.S. handlebar switch gear.

• New, electronic cruise control system is also part of the YCC-T family of functions. The control buttons are located on the L.H.S. handlebar switch gear. The "settable range" is from 50 to 128 km/hr and the transmission must be in 3rd gear or higher. The cruise system can be cancelled by activating front or rear brakes, pulling in the clutch, completely closing the throttle grip or using the activation button.

• Revised electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is ideal for long-distance sport-touring. The 42mm throttle body fuel injection system with new 4-hole Denso injectors delivers crisp, seamless throttle response regardless of weather or altitude. The spray pattern has been reduced from 20 to 17 degrees.

• This is a closed loop fuel injection system, with a heated oxygen sensor that monitors the amount of oxygen in the spent exhaust gases and adjusts the fuel -air mixture via the ECU and FI system for maximum performance with minimum emissions. The benefits of fuel injection include choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent fuel economy, and reduced emissions. The oxygen sensor is located before the mufflers, so the use of slip-on mufflers will not affect this system.

• Heated oxygen sensor provides precise fuel - air ratio information to the fuel injection system to reduce emissions even further, especially at lower engine temperatures.

• Revised air box and intake funnels provide increased airflow and performance. The air filter is a viscous paper design.

• Compact engine design uses a stacked "Tri-Axis" transmission (transmission shafts are stacked to minimize powerplant size front to back). The stacked design reduces engine length and centralizes mass, thereby allowing the engineers the ability to place the engine in the "sweet spot" of the frame for optimized front and rear weight distribution which provides excellent handling characteristics. Front - rear weight distribution is 51.9% front and 48.1% rear

• Revised, wide ratio 5-speed transmission utilizes widely spaced gear ratios for relaxed long-distance sport touring performance combined with seamless acceleration. 5th gear is an overdrive gear to reduce rpms at highway speeds. A new gear machining method is used on selected gears to reduce transmission noise.

• Special scissors-type primary driven gear helps prevent drive train backlash. and significantly reduces transmission noise for great rider comfort.

• Light-action hydraulic clutch provides smooth, effortless shifting, minimizing both rider fatigue and maintenance. Shift shaft features a needle-roller bearing to reduce friction for silky-smooth shifting.

• Clean, quiet shaft drive system is super-durable and low maintenance. This system features mechanical cam dampers in the drive pinion for quieter, smoother power delivery to the rear wheel.

• Revised 4-into-1-into-2 stainless steel exhaust optimizes engine performance across the power band and utilizes dual, three-way catalytic converters located in the junction box under the engine to reduce emissions. The exhaust pipe length has been optimized, while the muffler packing has been changed to long fiber glass wool. New muffler end caps provide a more stylish design.

• This revised exhaust system combines with the Air Induction System (AIS), to make the FJR1300's powerplant one of the cleanest-running large-capacity motorcycle engines ever built.

• Curved radiator uses twin ring-type fans for great heat dissipation and to aid in moving the hot air out of the cockpit area for optimized air management and less heat to the rider. Ring type fans "pull" more air than a conventional type fan.

• Revised, easy-access cartridge-type spin-on oil filter makes oil changes a snap.
• New, more stylish ACM and pick up case covers
• Excessive lean angle cut-out switch prevents the engine running in the event of a tip over. The switch will activate at 70 degrees.

Chassis and Suspension:

• Cast aluminium twin spar, diamond-type frame, features massive twin spars. This frame design is light and extremely rigid, partially thanks to the engine being a stressed member. It is the perfect combination for sharp, accurate handling.

• Fully detachable aluminium rear sub frame helps reduce weight while permitting easier rear shock access/maintenance.

• Lightweight, cast aluminium swingarm. The special swingarm design incorporates the shaft drive into its left side to reduce unsprung weight for incredible handling and suspension performance.

• Key chassis geometry figures include: caster angle = 26 degrees and trail of 109mm. Front - rear weight distribution is 51.9% front and 48.1% rear

• Revised, fully adjustable, 48mm, cartridge-style forks offer 135mm (5.4") of wheel travel. The internal structure has been modified, utilizing revised spring rates, new damping settings and new lightweight aluminum parts. The adjustable design allows the rider to tailor suspension settings to match rider weight, load and road conditions. Fork adjustments include: 15mm of spring preload, 21-way compression damping and 16-way rebound damping.

• Revised adjustable link Monocross rear suspension with 125mm (4.8") of wheel travel features a handy, two-stage (soft / hard) spring preload adjustment lever that allows the rider to easily switch between solo and two-up preload settings. Settings have been revised for even better handling. Other rear shock adjustments include: 18 - way rebound damping. New aluminum spring guide reduces weight.

• Dual 320mm front discs are squeezed by Nissin 4-piston calipers with independent brake pads for each piston. Computer controlled ABS is standard on the FJR1300.

• 282mm rear disc brake with opposed piston caliper provides outstanding stopping power. The caliper is mounted on the swingarm to reduce torque action for superior suspension performance. The rear brake ABS system is also computer controlled.

• The ABS or Anti-Lock Braking System features a linear controlled 3- position system that helps to prevent wheel lock up. The controlling ECU and the hydraulic unit are combined into a single compact unit that allows for mass centralization. When the ABS system senses impending wheel lock-up, via active type wheel sensors, the system regulates the hydraulic press to the point just before the wheel or wheels lock-up. The benefit of ABS is excellent control under hard braking or when braking on wet, slippery or loose surfaces.

• Unified braking system with computer controlled ABS. When the front brake is applied it activates 6 of the 8 front caliper pistons (all four LHS front pistons are activated, while only the "upper" two pistons on the RHS front caliper are activated). When applying the rear brake, both rear pistons activate and 2 front pistons activate (both rear caliper pistons are activated plus the two lower pistons on the front RHS).

• Lightweight cast-aluminium 3-spoke wheels are fitted with premium 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear radial tires perfectly suited to both spirited solo riding and longer range sport touring.

• Adjustable handlebars offer three positions of adjustability. From the centre position, the bars can be adjusted 5.5 mm forward or 5.5mm back towards the rider. Total adjustment range is 11mm.

• Adjustable, two-piece seat features a seat height adjustment range of 20mm (0.8") for the rider portion of the seat. This simple adjustment can be done in mere seconds, without tools. The seat covers have been revised for improved appearance.

• New, more stylish single piece upper fairing provides great aerodynamics for reduced drag as well as excellent wind and weather protection. Air flow management has been optimized for superior rider comfort. Central air duct reduces the vacuum effect and turbulence in the cockpit. The inner panel of the cockpit has been revised for improved appearance.

• New design push button operated electrically adjustable windscreen. The windshield shape has been changed for improved protection and the adjustment speed has been increased. The number of moving parts has also been reduced. The windshield design reduces the "vacuum effect" (negative pressure) in the cockpit area. The adjustment range is 130 mm (5.1"). The windshield features a memory and will hold its last position when the key is turned off. The windshield control buttons are on the L.H.S. handlebar switch gear.

• Revised dual 60/55 watt multi-reflector headlight assembly can be easily adjusted for two up riding. Left and right sides can be independently adjusted up or down via conveniently located adjustment knobs.

• New headlight LED position lamps not only add a serious styling highlight but also improve visibility.

• Revised middle cowl increases wind & weather protection in the rider's leg area. The special venting can be adjusted via tool-less quick fasteners. The adjustment range is 20mm or approximately 0.75", allowing more or less air toward the rider's hip and leg area.

• New LED front turn signals are integrated into the middle cowl for a sleek, streamlined appearance. Note: LED lights use less power than conventional bulbs and last longer too.

• Small item storage compartment is located in the upper left side of the fairing. Inside this compartment is a 12 volt 30 watt DC power outlet for added convenience. The lid can only be opened when the ignition is turned on. Its 1 litre capacity is perfect for small items such as cell phone, wallet, garage door opener, etc.

• Quick-release luggage mounts mean fast removal of the 30 litre colour matched hard saddlebags. The FJR1300 has been designed to look great with or without the saddlebags installed. It takes mere seconds to install or remove the locking saddlebags or optional top case.

• Ergonomically shaped, large-capacity 25-litre fuel tank offers an excellent riding range, and is constructed of steel allowing for the use of magnetic tank bags. The reserve portion is 5 litres. The underside of the tank improves air management.

• All new, easy to read, multifunction instrument panel. On the left side is an analog electric tach, in the middle a new digital speedo and on the right a multi-dot liquid crystal display. Functions in the digital speedo include a fuel gauge, D-Mode indicator, clock, and ECO indicator. The DOT matrix display on the right side includes odometer, dual tripmeters, outside air temp, coolant temp, instant fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, estimated travel range (with remaining fuel), time trip and low fuel tripmeter. Other functions include grip heater status and gear position indicator. There are also a full range of warning and indicator lights as well, including cruise and traction control status. The ECO indicator is a light that indicates the bike is being ridden in a manner that conserves fuel.

• Sleek tail section helps reduce drag and features a sturdy rear passenger grab rail. There is a small integrated rack that doubles as the mount for the optional top box.

• Immobilizer ignition system is designed to reduce the possibility of "ride away" theft. This system must recognize the "coded ignition key" in order for the unit to start. If the immobilizer ignition does not recognize the key (or a thief's screwdriver or other type of "jimmy tool") the bike will not start even if the ignition is turned or forced into the on position. If the system does not recognize the coded chip in the ignition key, it will not allow the ignition system, fuel pump or starter motor to function.

Additional Features:

• The FJR features a convenient "one-key" system to operate all keyed devices on the bike including the main ignition, steering lock, saddlebag and optional top case locks.
• Variable heated grips keep hands warm on cool days or evenings
• Glove box contains a 12V DC outlet for phones, GPS units, electric vests, etc.
• 5-position adjustable front brake and clutch levers.
• New separate rider & passenger footrests reduce vibration & weight
• Stylish folding mirrors.
• Dual-bulb taillight assembly with integrated turn signals provide a slick, integrated look.
• Small under seat storage area can hold a small U-lock.
• Low-maintenance sealed battery
• Revised centre stand with new pivot point makes operation about 30% easier

The FJR1300 offers a significant level of power and performance. It is not intended for novice or inexperienced riders.

Chassis
= Lightweight, aluminum, semi-double-cradle frame combined with the compact engine design, offer an awesome power to weight ratio. The obvious benefit of an aluminum frame is a significant reduction in overall machine weight. Yamaha has maintained the semi-double cradle design because it offers an excellent balance between stiff lateral and torsional rigidity while offering more controlled flex in the longitudinal plane. This frame design offers the ideal "stiffness balance" which means it offers the flexibility of a steel frame with the light weight of an aluminum frame. This frame is made from a unique mix of castings, forgings and extrusions that provide stiffness where it is required and flexibility in other areas. The result is the world's lightest aluminum MX frame, which provides excellent handling, good ride quality, excellent stability and responsive cornering performance.

= Front fork adjustments include: 20-way compression damping and 20-way rebound damping. Optional fork springs are available through Genuine Yamaha parts.
= "Wrap-around" plastic fork protectors provide excellent protection from dirt, mud and stone chips. The "self-supporting" design reduces friction for smoother fork operation.
= Monocross link rear suspension system features a fully adjustable, Kayaba, piggyback shock which provides 315mm (12.4") of wheel travel and features separate adjusters for high- and low-speed compression damping. Adjustments include: spring preload, 20-way rebound damping, 20-way low-speed compression damping and 2 turns of high speed compression damping. The damper rod diameter is 18mm in diameter, while Kashima coating is used in the shock body and sub tank to reduce friction and improve suspension performance during a long moto. The Kayaba shock utilizes a full rebound oil lock system for excellent suspension function and great ride quality.
= Super lightweight, "Beta" titanium shock spring. This spring reduces weight by over 500 grams versus a conventional steel spring. A reduction in "unsprung" weight causes a dramatic effect on suspension performance. This titanium spring provides outstanding strength, and durability, combined with reduced weight.
= 250mm floating front disc brake features a "wave" style rotor (disc) which reduces weight, improves cooling and improves styling.
= Compact Nissin twin piston front caliper utilizes lightweight aluminum pistons. The braking performance is excellent with great feel and control.
= "Shorty" style front brake lever is adjustable for various hand sizes.
= 245mm rear disc brake with single piston caliper uses an integrated master cylinder (fluid reservoir is integrated into the top of the master cylinder) for strong stopping power with excellent feel and control.
= "Wave" style rear rotor (disc) reduces weight and also adds a special styling highlight too.
= The rear single piston brake caliper features a rugged plastic caliper protector, while the lower edge of the disc is protected by a lower disc guard.
= Specially designed "Sun Star" rear sprocket increases the contact area between the sprocket and chain rollers, thereby reducing the load on the chain and increasing the service life of both chain and sprocket.
