2017 Yamaha FJR1300AE Overview

Yamaha FJR1300AE is a sport touring motorcycle, displacing 1298 cc. Power comes from an In-line four, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.8:1. Bore and stroke come in at 79 x 66.2 mm. On the performance side, it delivers 138 Nm @ 7000 Revolutions of torque. On the road, the 2017 FJR1300AE tips the scales at 292 kg, carries a 24.98-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 805 mm and spans a 1,544 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 40.7 kg heavier than the average sport touring motorcycle in our database. The full 2017 Yamaha FJR1300AE spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2017 FJR1300AE - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
Large fuel range: A 24.98-litre tank means fewer stops on longer rides - a genuine plus for touring or a lengthy daily commute.
Low-maintenance final drive: Running Shaft drive (cardan) 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 FJR1300AE - the usual used-bike checks (service history, consumables, tyres) apply.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Fuelling & injector care

The fuel injection on the FJR1300AE 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 Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve gear, the FJR1300AE 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 Double disc - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The FJR1300AE's suspension runs Upside-down telescopic fork, ? 48 mm at the front. The rear uses Linked monoshock with spring preload adjustment. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

The FJR1300AE 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, Diamond Shaped, the FJR1300AE'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 FJR1300AE 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.

FJR1300AE - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2017 Yamaha FJR1300AE, 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 FJR1300AE should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects a FJR1300AE's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). The sump holds 4.90 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.

Fuel system care

Fuel injection on the FJR1300AE 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 FJR1300AE 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.
