You mean you are currently in Australia and will be going to the Yamaha showrooms in Australia to service your bike???

 

 

yes, because generic bike shops I can't find, especially around my work place. Thankfully Yamaha dealer isn't too far away. Can walk there in 20 mins, even in the hot summer. Yes, I'm in Australia and I think you can find which part of Australia I am by looking at my profile

For 2013[8] the FJR1300 received a substantial number of updates, becoming the 'Gen-III' version. Bodywork is all new on the front half of the bike for better airflow and engine heat management, and a new faster-acting windshield mechanism was introduced. Front turn signal/position lights are now LEDs and there are LED accent lights around the headlights, and there is now one horn instead of two on prior years.

 

 

Transmission[edit]

The FJR1300 uses a five-speed manual gearbox with close ratio gears. Final drive is via shaft, encased within the swingarm, which has monoshock suspension with remote quick-set two position adjustable pre-load.

The FJR1300AE/AS model features an electronic clutch, which Yamaha calls YCC-S. There is no clutch lever on this model. Instead, the YCC-S system allows the rider to shift using a set of manually operated push buttons on the left handlebar or via the standard gear shift lever. The electronic clutch is controlled by an internal computer, allowing gear shifts to complete in approximately 0.2 seconds. The gearbox pattern is also unconventional in that neutral is at the bottom end of the range, otherwise the gearbox is identical to the A model. The ECU automatically controls the electronic clutch and ignition timing to ensure smooth gear shifting and will actuate the clutch at standstill. Stalling the engine is not normally possible.

2013 FJR should have no clutch lever at all...

 

 

 

I still don't know why Singapore don't have the AE/AS model. I saw it before at another Yamaha showroom and basically, the bike is semi-auto. The gear change is with your left hand, instead of the left foot, so it have the F1 kind of feel
