2006 Yamaha FJR1300AS Overview

The 2006 Yamaha FJR1300AS is a sport motorcycle built around 1298 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits an In-line four engine running DOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.8:1. The bore and stroke measures 79 x 66.2 mm. From a practical standpoint, the 2006 FJR1300AS tips the scales at 268 kg, offers a seat height of 805 mm and spans a 1,550 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 65.7 kg heavier than the average sport motorcycle in our database. Scroll down for the complete 2006 Yamaha FJR1300AS spec sheet covering every technical detail from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2006 FJR1300AS - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Fuel injection: The fuel injection system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
Low-maintenance final drive: Shaft drive (cardan) final drive means no chain to clean, lube or adjust - meaningfully less routine maintenance than a chain-driven equivalent.

Considerations

Age-related wear: As with any used FJR1300AS, a thorough pre-purchase inspection covering consumables, service history and tyres is always recommended.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling comes from fuel injection. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.

Valve clearance checks

DOHC valve actuation on the FJR1300AS means clearances should be checked at the manufacturer's specified interval - they can tighten as mileage accumulates, and a light top-end tick is usually the first sign.

Brake disc and pad wear

The Double disc front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.

Suspension condition on used examples

Up front, the FJR1300AS runs Telescopic fork, 48mm and Swingarm at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Final drive is by shaft - no chain or belt maintenance at all, though the drive-shaft oil should be changed on the manufacturer's interval.

Frame & chassis check

The frame is Aluminium, diamond shaped - worth a visual check for corrosion or impact damage around the head-stock and swingarm pivot on any used example, since frame damage is far costlier to fix than any service item.

Handling the weight at a standstill

At 268 kg, the FJR1300AS is a substantial machine - low-speed manoeuvring in car parks takes more physical effort than on a lighter bike, though the weight disappears once rolling.

FJR1300AS - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2006 Yamaha FJR1300AS, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained FJR1300AS should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any FJR1300AS. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Fuel system care

The FJR1300AS's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.

Valve clearance service

Check that valve clearances have been adjusted at the correct intervals on any used FJR1300AS. A bike with clearances out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but tight clearances accelerate valve seat wear. Ask for service documentation proving it's been done.
