I know where the coolant bottle is now didn't know how to get to it. I don't have a garage so looks like my work will be done when the summer comes you make it look so easy
hi bud thanks for watching, I have a few other videos on the FJR, it's on the right hand side so you need to take out the bolts that hold the fairing on then little pull is awayI've worked on lots of bike but not a FJR before but they really are all the same lol, I also have videos on other big bike so maybe sit down with a cuppa and enjoy and like share and sub mark
I have a Vstrom and I am looking to change to an FJR, don't think I can afford a new one, so I am looking at second hand, but could I maintain it myself....having watched your video you've just convinced me, great advise. Many thanks Firgle :)
firgle109 hi bud thanks for watching Good to hear my videos help They are great bikes I’ve enjoyed owning this one and will be selling her this spring You will enjoy the fjr a lot better than the Vstorm But you may notice she’s a bit Heavier However it sits on the road a lot better Enjoy bud Mark
Your FJR appears to be fairly old. I purchased a 2015 last Fall new from a dealer getting rid of them. Great deal. In fact so good, I spent extra and got the VIP service package. My dealership will service my bike for 4 years. I absolutely love my FJR..
I do love the new FJR mine is an old girl 2005 but with only 30k on the clock she will keep going for many more years, we don't tour any more so this girl gets me to work every day, thanks for watching , I do have a few other videos on her and other and also I have a free Tshirt video you can entre. mark
Get rid of the pair valve plumbing and your sorted, you could give it a full service at the side of the road withing an hour if needed, gen 1 the best at 237Kg dry, no fueling issues neither, service suspension Linkeage, Pipercross air filter and Lextek YP4 baffles in and your good to go. ua-cam.com/video/qu5otWAHDC8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=markwilliams
I have a 2008 fjr and synchronized the fuel injectors but wasn't ever quite able to get all four cylinders to read exactly the same level. They tend fluctuate slightly. Didn't know if that is normal. Thanks for any help.
MotorcycleDen to be honest most have a little play , mine with the mtc exhaust hunts a little with the same problem but does effect the running in any real measurable way All in they are just great bikes for all weather riding all year round yet you can play if you want to I’ve had 3 now all run the same way but never let me down with 200 miles before filling up with regular servicing They are great bikes Enjoy bud and thanks for watching , I have a few other videos on her and other big bike to watch if you like Mark
Hi Mark. Great video, but I couldn't see how you changed the air filter and the plugs. If you could show how you removed them, that would be great. Apologies if I have missed it. Cheers, Ivan
Ivan Dale hi bud thanks for watching Ok just after the 5mins after taking off the t bar just follow the H T leads and take them out with a plug sockets As for the air filter it’s under the left side fairing panel You will need to take all the panels off but it’s not a big job And saves you a lot of money I have a few other videos on the fjr plus other bikes you might like to watch Please like share and sub Mark
Great video. I really like the FJR. What part of England are you from? My wife and I were in England ten years ago. We stayed in Bayeswater, very posh. We had a great time while in England. Keep up the great work. Greetings from the U.S.
hi bud good to here you liked my video and i have few more on the fjr and other big touriers you may like to watch im from essex so not so posh lol and a big hi from the UK thanks for watching mark
mark savage Thank you for the reply. Essex seems like it would be a nice place being near the ocean. My ancestors came from Chelmsford and Cornwall England. Have a great week and weekend.
Hi Mark great channel, may I ask a question, my headlights on the fjr seem to have got major distortion like someone has scrapped the inside of both, its kept inside some people have said its a reaction with the fuel and polycarbonate. Thanks for your time
On the out side or on the chrome backing inside? The outside is easy to deal with and very cheap Use a scratch cream for paint work Cloth and put onto the head light plastic and go round on circle's loads on and keep going then clean off and wow bud Inside Need changing
@@jimger1000 I did think it was glass ! You can get glass polish And glass clear, it's got like sand in it If its on the outside of the glass give that a go If on the inside of the glass Me I'd buy a 2nd née one You can split the glass from the case That can got wrong If I had to buy new I'd take it off and play You can't break it twice lol If you want to upload a video on it and let me know I'll take a look Just a bit odd really but you don't know the last owners or history of the bike
hello , my bike is a yamaha fjr 1300 mod 07, do you know where is located voltage regulator? I was watching some videos and in newer models it is located on the left side next to the water pump but it is not in the 2007 model, thanks
i love this bike , a little heavy compared to others but response and handling are great i;ve not had the clutch less one but have heard they are good as long as serviced as they can go wrong , me i love a clutch lol except when stuck in traffic lol
@@mrnoedahl I just bought a 2007 fjr with 36,000 kms. I don't know if you pulled the trigger on buying an fjr yet. You will not be disappointed. They are rock solid, comfortable, reliable and scary fast. Did I mention , they have a bullet proof motor. Mine has ABS, fully adjustable front suspension and a pre-load adjustment for the rear shock. It is all you need. Cheers from Canada
@@bobcaygeon4533 No Bob I did not pull the trigger. Maybe next time. I have both cars in the garage; and I really do not want to leave one out. Hope you really enjoy your bike. I'm sure there are plenty of cool roads to travel in Canada. I've been there once and it was beautiful.
mark got a problem with my fjr 1300 2014 bike will start run up to temp fan kick in the bike still very hot ie fairing so hot switch off the bike will not start up again for around 1hr
That doesn't sound good at all bud and odd I've had this with peds but not big bikes and to be honest I'm not sure And wouldn't like to give you bad advice
sorry fella yes and I also talk fast lol, quid is an English £1 a bit more than a $1 dollar, you can google the urban dictionary that will help with our slang thanks for watching there are many other videos that you might enjoy on my page mark
hi mark, i am looking for a tutorial to change the oil pump chain on my yamaha fjr 1300 mod 07, a noise is heard and it may be the oil pump chain but i can't find a tutorial to locate and change it, thanks mark..
dont forget the radiator cap is behind the left fairing under the black infill makes filling the cooling system easier and more accurate
I love your video and your shop is awesome! I’m a subscriber now.
kevin Brubaker thanks bud 😁

I’d say most FJRs are abused and a lot of owners neglect the servicing because they know they’re reliable. A bit like certain people with Toyota cars.
Yes I guess your right lol
Thanks for watching
Have a great new year
Get rid of the pair valve plumbing and your sorted, you could give it a full service at the side of the road withing an hour if needed, gen 1 the best at 237Kg dry, no fueling issues neither, service suspension Linkeage, Pipercross air filter and Lextek YP4 baffles in and your good to go.

Hi Mark. Great video, but I couldn't see how you changed the air filter and the plugs. If you could show how you removed them, that would be great. Apologies if I have missed it. Cheers, Ivan
Ivan Dale hi bud thanks for watching
Ok just after the 5mins after taking off the t bar just follow the H T leads and take them out with a plug sockets
As for the air filter it’s under the left side fairing panel
You will need to take all the panels off but it’s not a big job
And saves you a lot of money

On the out side or on the chrome backing inside?
The outside is easy to deal with and very cheap
Use a scratch cream for paint work
Cloth and put onto the head light plastic and go round on circle's loads on and keep going then clean off and wow bud
Inside
Need changing
@@marksavage hi Mark it’s actually the glass can I send a pic of the head lights thanks a mill j
@@marksavage thanks again mark
@@jimger1000 I did think it was glass !
You can get glass polish
And glass clear, it's got like sand in it
If its on the outside of the glass give that a go
If on the inside of the glass
Me I'd buy a 2nd née one
You can split the glass from the case
That can got wrong
If I had to buy new
I'd take it off and play
You can't break it twice lol
If you want to upload a video on it and let me know I'll take a look
Just a bit odd really but you don't know the last owners or history of the bike

Hi Mark..do you recommend me to buy 2009 fjr1300 whichnis clutchless one?? Thanks in advance

Nice video. Appreciate your work. Do wish you could have videotaped the whole process. Also could use some better lighting next time. Thanks mate.
me too bud , I've got better at doing these videos as I've gone on but some of my old ones are like this

Fjr1300s always run rough on idle, it’s something to do with the EFI system.
