YAMAHA FJR1300A (2009-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Yamaha FJR 1300A, one of the most iconic machines in history that packed superbike performance with first-class comfort thanks to its top-end technologies.

The FJR 1300A featured lots of ponies in a lightweight aluminum frame, excellent ergonomics with its aerodynamic fairing that offered great wind and weather protection, an electrically adjustable windshield, and an air management system that kept the rider cool.

For power performance, the model packed a 1,298cc engine that delivered massive power and torque over a wide rpm range with a red line at 9,000 rpm. Also, the engine featured state-of-the-art technology like the legendary R1 machine, such as a slant block design, stacked "Tri-Axis" transmission, fuel injection, and so on.

As for the power figures, the 2009 Yamaha FJR 1300A took its thrust from a 1,298cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that featured an advanced fuel injection system and lightweight forged pistons for outstanding engine response, which delivered an output power of 145 hp at 8,500 rpm and 125 Nm (99 lb-ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm.

The smooth ride was achieved by a fully adjustable 48 mm upside-down telescopic fork on the front and a preload and rebound adjustable single shock absorber on the rear, while the braking performance was handled by two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 283 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.
