Yamaha FJR1300

. The diff between 2009 and 2010 model, a bike shop quote me 29k OTR while others went as high as 32k.. For 29k offer, he says its 2010 model, but i wont know too.. lol (same price for both A and AE model)

29k should be for the manual model while 31k should be the AE model . 2010 model onli got silver , best way to know which model they gave u . I bought the 09 AE Model.

2. For the AE model, semi-auto gear shift, when you do a E-brake, stop the bike at 4th gear. can i kick to 1st gear or it automatically goes to 1st when u stop?

The gear will still be at 4th gear . U have to manually downshift either using the foot lever or the thumb shifter.

 

3. I always use the clutch to control speed at slow speed, wonders if i do on the AE model.. will the engine suddenly die, then drop the bike? ~fear~

The engine will not die off. Its mostly the movinng off part tat is hard to get used to.

 

4. wad is the advantage of AE model, beside having a free hand to hold a cig.. lol

Not sure abt tat , but my AE model came wif heated grips , maybe owners of the manual model can clarify if their have it anot. Other than tat , not much diff , maybe a talking pt of the semi auto system between frens n fellow riders ?

 

 

Thanks for the help!

Hmmm.... All u need is a carb tune. I haven't done it on an 06 before though. I'll need to review ur version's manual. Otherwise, just go to your mechanic to do it. I heard HL charges 60 bucks.

 

Curb tune? But all the FJR are FI right?

[ohayo]

Thanx for the help , will contact u once i collected my bike . Its been a week . Btw, any idea how much it will cost ?

 

eh...been sometime back since i bought from there. cant remenber the price. I bought 1m by 1.5m. Still got a bit left.

After searching through so many pages of engine/gear oil and spline lubricant use for FJR.

 

I will probably use the following:

1. Engine oil - Mobil 1 Racing 4T 15w-40

2. Gear oil - Mobil 1 75w-90

3. Spline lub - Honda moly 60. (Does anyone know where to get this?)

 

Please comment / suggest / recommend if you have a better product in mind.

 

Thanks

The Carbtune is a set of 4 vacuum gauges. Synchronising the Throttle Bodies uses the same principle.

Any idea a good shop to service the FJR ?

Any good suggestion for mounting of a GPS unit on the bike ? Was thinking of using a normal car holder.

you wanna mount your gps unit on/in a normal car holder? will it be stable at high speed?

 

Why dont you use the cradle/mount that come with the set and mount it on the handle bar?

 

Btw i am not working on friday. If you want, i can actually meet up with you. Bring you to buy the reflective sticker and go to tachyon motor shop to settle your gps problem. All in the east side

I suggest getting a Ram Mount. I mounted my GPS using it. Stable at high speed.

What model did you buy? First and foremost, if the garmin is not waterproof then you have to get something to water proof it. If not it is not safe to ride with it. As i understand those non waterproof gps console has very little water resistant capabilities.

Im less than 3wks away from getting my 2nd hand FJR, 2008 model, mileage at 14000km. Nice plate number too. I believe the previous owner was an old-timer who had some years of riding under his belt. Very lucky to have it coz its very well maintained, low mileage, and 5mins after i signed the documents, 2 guys came asking the salesman for the price.

 

Hope to join you guys soon on kopi/makan/touring trips. Any advice for a newbie sports tourer rider like me will be very much appreciated!

 

Cheers and ride safe.

Any idea if we can change the digital Miles to KM ? Hard to read fuel mileage in miles .

 

N i think i have a hard time getting bike to main stand .

[crash_8114]

If yours 2006 onwards, it'll be hard to change the reading of the miles to KM unless you change prob the chip in that meter....

If you probably went thru the earlier pages of this forum, someone in here has the contacts of the person who can do it for you...but all the readings will be resetted to zero....

Getting the bike to main stand takes some practice.....

Once you are used to the wait, itll be a breeze

Im 1.75 60kg, and I can do it....

so its just a matter of time

oh and there is a technique to it

[Speedpass]

Juz asked bike shop , mine is a euro spec model , cant change to km like those on R1 n FZ1 .

 

Btw , anyone has fixed alarm on their bike ? I intend to bring over my alarm , but the power wire is too short to reach the batt if i place the alarm unit under the seat.

 

Any suggestions ?
