Yamaha FJR1300

[Aah_heng]

Hi all FJR riders. I just got my 2013 model on the road. Any 2013 model rider got their slider fixed? My bike shop doesn't have it. Need advice on where and what brand slider is better.Thanks.

 

 

original sliders would b from Hong Leong. MCE has engine cages which i am currently considering. PM me or whatsapp me 97691688. I can send u the pics. If u interested we can try to organise a few to share shipping costs.

Hi, does anyone know if i don't go back to hong leong for the servicing will my warranty be void? I called up HL for few time but line was busy. Nobody answer. Thanks for advice.

but they will hav reason to say ur warranty void. so better dun...

[KEVIN LEE]

Ok thanks...

[Corse]

Nice!! U got 4 bikes??

 

Haha.. Actually the reason i stated those bikes is to indicated my riding experience on different motorcycles.

There's another reason behind it. The Ducati S4 was my 1st Class 2 Bike, which my dad bought who hardly uses it. Like wise for the Harley. So ended up me looking after all these bikes. The Ducati 999, R1 & FJR was/is owned by me. The Vespa is my wife's. Which i too use that as well.

As long you go back to HL or HL's dealers for servcing should be ok.

Thinking of upgrading to the fjr1300.... the next shipment to hong leong is in July. Just wondering, can the side boxes fit a full face helmet? Do you guys have problems in carparks entering by the side of the barrier?

 

no problems fitting a hjc ff helmet (which is one of the larger ones around).

 

some carparks with tighter than normal clearance cannot squeeze, but most can. eg: marina square. mustafa old carpark entrance is no problem, but exit is abit tricky as the gantry and gap is at the bend

 

not true....

 

I am having the Nolan104... the side pannier cant fit my helmet

 

apologies then, i might have mistaken.

 

 

correction: it can fit. here are pics to show.

my HJC shell is a XXL shell, hence unless your nolan is bigger/shaped differently from mine.

How yr FJR (A) ? Finish running in??

 

So far so good. Mileage already passed 5500km(Yes run in already). What i can say and will always remind all riders with new bikes, is the suspension setting. The stock Setting was totally way too soft. Very comfortable BUT very dangerous in corners. Under-steers like nobody business especially on bumps. After getting the setting closest to as the way how i want it, it's great in corners. Very nimble. The only think probably i dont like is the rear suspension has only 2 settings for pre-load. Hard or Soft. Just a flick of a lever. If possible, i would like to have the rear firmer. But i would lose out on comfort and that's what this bike is designed for. Well, cornering stability and security is just me. Been riding Superbikes and going to track occasionaly since 2006. So i'll just have to make due with what the bike can give. Plus points, The 'S' mode has alot of kick. More torque compared to my 'cross plane' R1 and never fails to excite me when i need to full bore. A little too scary at times in 1st gear.

 

Brakes are great in wet. ABS kicks in smoothly and i feel really safe with it. I dare to brake harder. Braking effeciency its more than what i expected. Seems like i dont need Brembo pads anymore.

 

Cruise control is a luxury. A good way to leave your riding kakis envious of you on the highway.

 

I think fuel consumption is great from where i come from(Supebikes). Average is 18.8km/l on highway and street riding. A full tank can give me up till 350km then my reserve bar or last bar starts flashing. Constant at 90km/h can give about constant 25-27km/l. And according to the range meter, maybe the bike can go up to 450-500km if maintained 25-27km/l throughout the whole fuel tank. If more street riding and stopping, Mileage around 320km then reserve kicks in. I may be wrong, but i seem to be getting better fuel consumption with Higher Octane (SPC 8000) compared to (SPC5000).

Wow... I set my rear suspension to soft.. Ok... I will set it back to hard and try.

Will go riding around tonite and try..

For petrol wise, so far I only try SPC 5000.

[h=5]Anyone have a rear left side heel rest bracket to donate or sell? Mine broke off. Order/agent/fabricate a bit ex lar.[/h]

Heat of the bike is not an issue, but the heat from the road rash in the event of a fall in berms can be hell.

I prefer to have it on soft. Gives a plusher ride. Besides, I'm not too keen on scratching corners on an FJR, so......yeah, soft.

[Keoni]

not true....

 

I am having the Nolan104... the side pannier cant fit my helmet

 

....but my Shoei Z6 fits fine. Depends on which model of helmet really.

Just got myself an arai helmet... Guess I should try putting in the side pannier...

Any of you guys experience turbulance behind the screen at speeds above 160kmh?

[Corse]

Hi all, care to share which dealer and the pricing deal you guys bought the 2013 fjr1300? Thanks!

 

Got mine from HL Cycle. Under the same boss at I-Motoring & Speedway( i think) About $33k

Heat is not to bad. But i wont advice wearing bermudas while riding.

 

Oh.. Read some where, the cruise control is limited to 130?

 

Really? i'll give it a try this weekend in Malaysia and will let you know.

Too soft, wont be good. You'll find your bike understeering and/or unable to hold the your intended line.

Btw, Hello Mr J.T. Hee....
