2013 Yamaha FJR 1300A Overview

Yamaha FJR 1300A is a sport touring motorcycle, displacing 1298 cc. Power comes from an In-line four, four-stroke engine running DOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.8:1. On the performance side, it delivers 145 hp @ 8500 rpm of peak power and 125 Nm @ 6000 rpm of torque. Top speed is factory-quoted at 244.9 km/h. On the road, the 2013 FJR 1300A tips the scales at 292 kg, carries a 25-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 805 mm - 825.5 mm and spans a 1544.3 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 40.7 kg heavier than the average sport touring motorcycle in our database. The full 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300A spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2013 FJR 1300A - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: With 145 hp @ 8500 rpm and 125 Nm @ 6000 rpm of torque on tap, the FJR 1300A is no slouch for its class.
Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
Large fuel range: A 25-litre tank means fewer stops on longer rides - a genuine plus for touring or a lengthy daily commute.
Low-maintenance final drive: Running Shaft final drive cuts out the regular chain cleaning and tensioning that most bikes need.

Considerations

Age-related wear: Nothing specific stands out as a weak point on the FJR 1300A - the usual used-bike checks (service history, consumables, tyres) apply.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

FJR 1300A's Liquid cooled setup is low-maintenance provided the coolant interval is kept - old, acidic coolant is the main cause of long-term corrosion in the water passages.

Fuelling & injector care

The fuel injection on the FJR 1300A needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.

Valve clearance checks

With DOHC valve gear, the FJR 1300A needs periodic clearance checks; caught early they're a cheap adjustment, left unchecked they accelerate valve seat wear.

Brake disc and pad wear

Braking up front comes from 2x 320mm discs 4 piston calipers - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The FJR 1300A's suspension runs 48mm upside-down telescopic fork w/adjustable preload, compression and rebound damping; at the front. The rear uses Single shock, link-type, w/adjustable preload and rebound damping;. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

The FJR 1300A uses shaft final drive: essentially maintenance-free day to day, with periodic gear-oil changes the only real service item.

Frame & chassis check

Built around a Aluminium, twin spar, the FJR 1300A's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.

Handling the weight at a standstill

292 kg puts the FJR 1300A toward the heavier end of its class. It's most noticeable at walking pace; once underway the mass settles into the handling rather than fighting it.

FJR 1300A - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300A, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy FJR 1300A should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects a FJR 1300A's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.

Fuel system care

Fuel injection on the FJR 1300A needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.

Valve clearance service

Valve clearances are easy to overlook on a used FJR 1300A since a bike out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but the wear it causes is real. Ask the seller for documentation before assuming it's been done.
