YAMAHA FJR1300AE (2008-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The FJR 1300AE was a sport touring motorcycle with a 1,298cc inline four-cylinder engine made by Yamaha, which featured an electronically controlled clutch and gear shifting system called Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shifter (YCC-S) identical to the one of the FJR base model.

The FJR 1300 was introduced in 2001 in the European market and in 2002 in the North American market with the 2003 model year designation that was delivered in a non-ABS version only. The 2004 model was delivered in a non-ABS version with blue anodized brake calipers and an ABS version with silver brake calipers.

In 2008, Yamaha launched the FJR 1300AE, which received minor changes to the throttle feel for improved low-speed on/off transitions and also changed the suppliers for the ABS system. In addition, the bike featured advanced technology that was found on the legendary R1 model, such as a slant block design, a stacked "Tri-Axis" transmission, a fuel injection system, and much more.

The 2008 Yamaha FJR 1300AE took its thrust from a 1,298cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered massive power and torque with a red line at 9,000 rpm. The engine was used as a fully stressed member of the chassis that allowed a lightweight frame design and featured lightweight forged pistons that provided outstanding engine response and durability.

As for the power figures, the bike delivered an output power of 145 hp at 8,500 rpm and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) of torque at 6 000 rpm converted into speed by a five-speed manual transmission that pushed the bike to a top speed of 245 kph (152 mph).
