2013 Yamaha FJR1300AS Overview
For 2013, Yamaha offers the FJR1300AS as a sport touring motorcycle with 1298 cc on tap. The 2013 Yamaha FJR1300AS is built around an In-line four, four-stroke engine running DOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.8:1. Internally, bore and stroke are 79 x 66.2 mm. Out on the road, the FJR1300AS delivers 138 Nm @ 7000 of torque. In everyday use, the 2013 FJR1300AS tips the scales at 296 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 44.7 kg heavier than the average sport touring motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2013 Yamaha FJR1300AS spec sheet below.
2013 FJR1300AS - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🔧
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
-
⛽
Large fuel range: With a 24.98-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.
-
⚙️
Low-maintenance final drive: Shaft drive (cardan) final drive is about as close to maintenance-free as motorcycle drivetrains get.
Considerations
-
ℹ️
Age-related wear: No particular mechanical concern flags for the FJR1300AS - condition on any used example comes down to how well it's been looked after.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling on the FJR1300AS comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.
Valve clearance checks
Valve clearances on DOHC-equipped engines like the FJR1300AS's drift slowly with mileage rather than failing suddenly - sticking to the service interval keeps it a non-issue.
Brake disc and pad wear
Double disc. Hydraulic up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by Upside-down telescopic fork, ? 48 mm tube, adjustable preload, compression and rebound damping up front and Linked monoshock with spring preload adjustment at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Shaft final drive on the FJR1300AS removes chain and belt maintenance entirely - the trade-off is a little extra unsprung weight and periodic gear-oil changes.
Frame & chassis check
The Aluminium, Diamond Shaped chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.
Handling the weight at a standstill
The FJR1300AS's 296 kg kerb weight is worth factoring into how you handle it at a standstill - parking-lot manoeuvres need a bit more deliberate technique than on a lighter machine.
FJR1300AS - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2013 Yamaha FJR1300AS should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept FJR1300AS settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a FJR1300AS's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. The sump holds 4.90 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Fuel system care
Injector systems like the FJR1300AS's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
Valve clearance service
There's no reliable seat-of-the-pants way to tell if a FJR1300AS's valve clearances are in spec - a light top-end tick is the only real warning sign, and by then some wear has already happened. Service records are the only proof.
