YAMAHA FJR1300A (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2011, Yamaha released the FJR 1300A, one of the elite sport-touring machines of the modern era that carried on the claimed character of its predecessors, with massive power and torque available on tap and incredible comfort and ergonomics.

The bike featured a smart air management system that kept the rider cool at any time and provided great weather protection with its electronically adjustable windshield and adjustable side panels that allowed the rider to redirect airflow.

The bike came with a lightweight and rigid cast aluminum twin-spar diamond-type frame, a fully removable aluminum rear subframe that provided easier access to the rear shock absorber for maintenance purposes, and a lightweight cast aluminum swingarm that incorporated the shaft drive on its left side for reduced weight and great handling and suspension performance.

For suspension, the bike packed a fully adjustable 48 mm cartridge-style fork that offered 135 mm of wheel travel on the front and an adjustable link monocross suspension on the rear that offered 125 mm of wheel travel.

The 2011 Yamaha FJR 1300A was powered by a 1,298cc engine that featured an advanced fuel injection system and lightweight forged pistons that provided fast engine response and delivered massive amounts of power and torque.

With a 1,298cc displacement, the four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivered an output power of 145 hp with a peak at 8,500 rpm and 125 Nm (99 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,000 rpm.
