-
Cast aluminum twin spar, diamond-type frame, features massive twin spars. This frame design is light and extremely rigid, partially thanks to the engine being a stressed member. It is the perfect combination for sharp, accurate handling.
-
Fully detachable aluminum rear sub frame helps reduce weight while permitting easier rear shock access.
-
Lightweight, cast aluminum swingarm. The special swingarm design incorporates the shaft drive into its left side to reduce unsprung weight for incredible handling and suspension performance.
- Key chassis geometry figures include: caster angle = 26 degrees and trail of 109mm. Front - rear weight distribution is 51.9% front and 48.1% rear
-
Aluminum upper and lower triple clamps
-
Electronically adjustable 43mm KYB inverted forks offer 135mm (5.4") of wheel travel.
-
Electronically adjustable link Monocross rear suspension with KYB shock offers 125mm (4.8") of wheel travel.
- This "linked" electronic suspension asks the rider to choose from one of four presets for "load" (solo / solo & luggage / dual / dual & luggage). Once the load setting has been chosen, the system automatically adjusts both the front and rear damping rates based on the load setting chosen. If the rider wishes to "tune" the damping settings further, there are 3 "main " settings (soft / std / hard) to choose from. Within each of these 3 main settings, there are another 7 "fine tuning" settings available. So there are a total of 21 damping settings that a rider can choose from. The "load" setting must be chosen / adjusted with the unit stopped, while all other tuning can be done "on the fly". All adjustments are done via buttons on the L.H.S. switch gear. Suspension setting menu and adjustments can be viewed in the dot matrix section of the instrument panel. A duty cycle motor controls the "load" settings while stepping motors vary the oil flow rate in the forks & shock (damping adjustments). The adjustable design allows a rider to tailor suspension settings to match load and road conditions. The suspension settings are slightly different than on the standard FJR.
- A special "SCU" or suspension control unit controls the electronic suspension. It features a diagnostic mode too.
-
Dual 320mm front discs are squeezed by Nissin 4-piston calipers. Computer controlled ABS is standard on the FJR1300E.
-
282mm rear disc brake with single piston caliper provides outstanding stopping power. The caliper is mounted on the underside of the swingarm to reduce torque action for superior suspension performance. The rear brake ABS system is also computer controlled.
-
The ABS or Anti-Lock Braking System features a linear controlled 3- position system that helps to prevent wheel lock up. The controlling ECU and the hydraulic unit are combined into a single compact unit that allows for mass centralization. When the ABS system senses impending wheel lock-up, via active-type wheel sensors, the system regulates the hydraulic pressure to the point just before the wheel or wheels lock-up. The benefit of ABS is excellent control under hard braking or when braking on wet, slippery or loose surfaces.
-
Unified braking system with computer controlled ABS. When the front brake is applied it activates 6 of the 8 front caliper pistons (all four LHS front pistons are activated, while only the "upper" two pistons on the RHS front caliper are activated). When applying the rear brake, the rear piston activates and the lower 2-front pistons activate.
-
Lightweight cast-aluminum 3-spoke wheels are fitted with premium 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear radial tires well suited to both spirited solo riding and longer range sport touring.
-
Adjustable handlebars offer three positions of adjustability. From the centre position, the bars can be adjusted 5.5 mm forward or 5.5mm back towards the rider. Total adjustment range is 11mm.
-
Adjustable, two-piece seat features a seat height adjustment range of 20mm (0.8") for the rider portion of the seat. This simple adjustment can be done in mere seconds, without tools.
- Stylish single piece upper fairing provides great aerodynamics for reduced drag as well as excellent wind and weather protection. Air flow management has been optimized for superior rider comfort. Central air duct reduces the vacuum effect and turbulence in the cockpit.
- Push button operated electrically adjustable windscreen. The windshield design reduces the "vacuum effect" (negative pressure) in the cockpit area. The adjustment range is 130 mm (5.1"). The windshield features a memory and will hold its last position when the key is turned off. The windshield control buttons are on the L.H.S. handlebar switch gear.
-
Dual 60/55 watt multi-reflector headlight assembly can be easily adjusted for two up riding. Left and right sides can be independently adjusted up or down via conveniently located adjustment knobs.
-
Headlight LED position lamps not only add a serious styling highlight but also improve visibility.
-
Middle cowl increases wind & weather protection in the rider's leg area. The special venting can be adjusted via tool-less quick release fasteners. The adjustment range is 20mm or approximately 0.75", allowing more or less air toward the rider's hip and leg area.
-
LED front turn signals are integrated into the middle cowl for a sleek, streamlined appearance. Note: LED lights use less power than conventional bulbs and last longer too.
-
Small item storage compartment is located in the upper left side of the fairing. Inside this compartment is a 12 volt 30 watt DC power outlet for added convenience. The lid can only be opened when the ignition is turned on. Its 1 litre capacity is perfect for small items such as cell phone, wallet, garage door opener, etc.
-
Quick-release luggage mounts mean fast removal of the 30 litre colour matched hard saddlebags. The FJR1300 has been designed to look great with or without the saddlebags installed. It takes mere seconds to install or remove the locking saddlebags or optional top case.
- Ergonomically shaped, large-capacity 25-litre fuel tank offers an excellent riding range, and is constructed of steel allowing for the use of magnetic tank bags. The reserve portion is 5 litres. The underside of the tank improves air management.
- Easy to read, multifunction instrument panel. On the left side is an analog electric tach, in the middle a digital speedo and on the right a multi-dot liquid crystal display. Functions in the digital speedo include a fuel gauge, D-Mode indicator, clock, and ECO indicator. The DOT matrix display on the right side includes odometer, dual tripmeters, outside air temp, coolant temp, instant fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, estimated travel range (with remaining fuel), time trip, low fuel tripmeter and electronic suspension status and adjustments. Other functions include grip heater status and gear position indicator. There are also a full range of warning and indicator lights as well, including cruise and traction control status. The ECO indicator is a light that indicates the bike is being ridden in a manner that conserves fuel.
- Sleek tail section helps reduce drag and features a sturdy rear passenger grab rail. There is a small integrated rack that doubles as the mount for the optional top box.
-
Immobilizer ignition system is designed to reduce the possibility of "ride away" theft. This system must recognize the "coded ignition key" in order for the unit to start. If the immobilizer ignition does not recognize the key (or a thief's screwdriver or other type of "jimmy tool") the bike will not start even if the ignition is turned or forced into the on position. If the system does not recognize the coded chip in the ignition key, it will not allow the ignition system, fuel pump or starter motor to function.
