Yamaha has announced its FJR1300 is to be offered with a semi-automatic gearbox in 2006 – a first on a bike.

You use buttons on the left hand bar to shift up and down.

Unlike twist-and-go scooters, which have constantly variable drive, the FJR will retain a conventional gearbox with individual ratios.

The system was revealed at Yamaha’s pre-Paris Show launch event on Wednesday night (Sep 28).

Very tempting to upgrade liao. But to be on the safe side, I would prefer to employ a wait and see if the technology is "stable" and "reliable".

2006

Key Features:

FJR1300AE receives, in addition to the other `06 refinements listed, heated grips and a Yamaha excusive electric-shift five-speed transmission that eliminates the clutch lever entirely—now you can click off supersmooth shifts using either the left bar-mounted paddles or the foot-operated gearshift lever.

145 horsepower, a light and rigid aluminum frame, sportbike running gear and standard hard sidebags go beautifully together.

Pushbutton adjustable windscreen and a thick comfy seat for two are perfect for comfortable, long-distance riding.

The world’s first supersport touring bike gets a host of refinements—including standard ABS and adjustable ergonomics that widen the gap between it and common sport tourers to a gaping chasm.

Advanced air management system and new bodywork, keep the FJR looking and feeling cool.

New for 2006:

Yamaha brings another industry first – a computer operated clutch and electronic shift actuators, eliminate the need to operate the clutch and improves shift effort.

New sharper-looking bodywork and air-management system keep the bike and rider much cooler; a new central vent beneath the instrument panel now cools the rider and reduces negative pressure, and new fairing side panels with 1.2-inch adjustability let the rider direct airflow.

New, curved radiator with revised ducting and twin-ring cooling fans keep engine and cockpit cool.

Adjustable ergonomics: the seat can be adjusted up or down by nearly an inch, and handlebar pullback angle is now three-position adjustable over a half-inch range. Rear shock adjustment is simplified

A 1.3-inch longer swingarm provides even better ride and handling characteristics.

A bigger windscreen is now adjustable over a wider range, for improved wind protection with reduced negative pressure.

Standard equipment Unified Braking System w/ABS: The front brake lever activates six of the eight front braking pistons and two rear pistons; the rear brake pedal activates two rear pistons and the other two front pistons—for balanced anti-lock braking in all conditions.

Taller overall secondary gearing reduces engine rpm for more comfortable long-distance cruising.

New-design rear frame with integrated grab handle makes lifting the bike onto the centerstand easier, and reduces overall width with bags mounted by an inch.

Passenger footpegs are moved down nearly an inch, forward 1.5 inches and out 0.5 inch for more comfort.

Redesigned instrument panel reflects the FJR1300’s premium quality, and now includes real-time fuel mileage, average fuel mileage, air temp gauge and gear-position indicator.

New headlights feature easy-access adjustment knobs; new mirrors are easy to adjust and retract horizontally.

Revised throttle cable pulley gives lighter-action throttle pull.

Glove box can now be opened whenever the key is in the On position, and contains a 12V outlet for phones, GPS units, electric vests, etc.

Integrated front turn signals with clear lenses add to the FJR1300’s cutting-edge aerodynamic bodywork.

An additional catalyst and a heated O2 sensor are located in the exhaust for increased control range and low emissions.

tiptronic ... cool innovation.. hope it won't becomes a lemon. The first batch of this big leap innovation usually call "Ginea Pig spec". Hope they will seriously work on the stability of the soft ware and hard ware before they put on sale.

mavric · September 29, 2005

thanks for the info and the rewriting of the gathering teamlm, looks more inviting,

no wonder i L plate. anyways with the gathering written better, i hope i will get more responses. thanks

and ummm, my nick is spelt "mavric" not "maveric"

Hope to see more people at this sat's gathering. last week only 2 FJRians turned up domjames & me. the other bikers where my non-FJRian rider friends, TDM(vincent) Varadero(tony) CBR1000(goon) GSXR600(leong). so sad

BTW yesterday on the way home from work around 6.30pm going past CISCO and Paya Lebar Shell Station from UBI towards Paya Lebar MRT, i saw a storm silver fellow FJRian with a lady pillion coming out of Jalan Afifi, just wondering if it is anyone in this group.

Hope to finally meet up with all of you this sat 1st oct 9 pm at kallang KFC

Cheers

Hopefully to see D, L1, L2, P and R. For City riding, can just switch to D and ride like a Auto gear Scooter, approaching Ipoh/Cameron/Genting and etc... can switch to Titronic.

Guess someday we will see that. Hope Yammi is the 1st to instal it on their bikes.

Looks like the 2006 FJR has nice looking clocks , the gear indicator is integrated wif the LCD meter on the right . The Speedo n Tacho looks exclusive wif orange lights . Smaller profile may suit a small sized rider like me .

Will give a try in the showrooms when it arrives , if to my liking , i think i might get it .
