I own a 2019 and find it a very easy bike to ride slow - the engine is very tractable, the fueling is good. I find the gearbox very good and it has so much power you never need to use all of it. It is a bike that will do everything effortlessly. Touring for 4000 km with two people and luggage in the USA in summer I was getting 4.44 L/100 km - about 64 Impg - really good.
A perfect machine in my opinion. Would buy a new one, but in my country they discontinued it. Now I have the Tracer 9. Drop by to check my content. Thanks a lot. Cheers.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace this good strange reply how did go to this I am wondering too, but it can be fast but not so weight is friendly like a rock but on a gimbal. Tires good enough for long time. Thx The channel looks yes and some not good to you. Go!
Very good overview of our FJR. This will help more ppl. to decide to graduate to FJR. I move to FJR from a 600 cc sports bike. This bike allows you to drive like crazy if you wish and at the same time it's a comfy cruiser. I just love it. It's a perfect bike for a comfy long weekend ride and at the same time has the power to compete with any sports bikers. Thanks for sharing the video.
The FJR originally didn’t come with a topbox. It’s an afterthought and doesn’t look good on the bike. At higher speeds it makes the bike less stable. Just leave it off and buy a waterproof softbag. Furthermore respect the weight especially at low speeds. You will drop the bike if you don’t.
My 2005 FJR has just had a second set of fork seals replaced - its only repair. Riding it is like putting on an old pair of slippers - fits so well and comfortably.
Owned a 2016 never had any problems with it at all. Excellent sport tourer, best work putting highway miles behind you quickly. At 625 pounds and carrying its weight up high with a wide and somewhat tall seat it was a challenge on gravel and loose pavement. Sold mine because my riding habits no longer fit what the bike excelled at. I’d recommend one to anyone.
I like Gold Wings but a bit too large for day-to-day use. From a touring perspective the FJR will do almost everything a Wing will do but is lighter and can really hustle when you need it to. It is also a lot less $ than a Gold Wing.
Love this bike. Just purchased my 2nd one. Perfect for riding in the hill country (Texas). It is light to me compared to my other big touring bikes. I ride mostly in the southwest, so liquid cooling is a must. Do yourself a favor and get an Ivan tune. Makes a big difference.
As far as I know, the problem with the second gear exists only in the 6th gears bikes, from 2016, The gearbox it´s the same size of the 5th gears models, but it had to hold one more gear, so they are thinner, and can break under extreme forces. The 2nd gear is nor short nor long enough, and it´s more suitable for breaking. Only happened on a few bikes, and Yamaha made a recall on all 6th gear models, to replace many transmission pieces. To make the recall they must take out the engine from the bike and split it in half, so... yeah, it sucks.
A very detailed review. Enjoyed. Overall a great bike. Would buy a new one if they would decide to make a new model. Thanks for sharing it. Drop by bro, you may like my content. Cheers.
Very disappointed this dialogue is AI generated and poorly spoken. The film is chopped up, zero value as camera is never in one place for more than a second.
I agree..Very confusing..Um, about useless...All I can say is I love my 2015 FJR1300..Had a 2012 Kawasaki ZX14R and loved that bike but getting on in years (71) and I wanted more creature comforts....Have Yoshimura slip ons (50 state Legal), power commander and less restrictive air filter..Was dynoed at 134hp at wheel so don't miss the 14 too much. Love the electric windshield, heated grips and cruise control..Bike has been absolutely bullet proof..I never noticed clunky or rough shifting on mine..I use Lucas 10w-40 Semi-synthetic motor oil and Lucas 80-90 gear oil..Change oil every 3000mi or less and drive oil every 5000mi. Also flush cooling system at regular intervals..46,000 miles and still runs as new...
I was really looking hard at an Fjr until I found out it only gets a claimed 40-45 MPG by Yamaha ...when 30-35 is what actual owners claim....the Fjr weighs 650 lbs and my Camry weighs 3480 lbs, and get about 30 mpg....why does the Fjr burn so much gas?.
I bought my 2014 FJR 1300 in 2021 with just over 12k mikes on it for $9,000 Dollars, the bike has a mild tune and slip on after market exhaust. I have only had to replace tires on this bike since I owned it and it now has 30k mikes on her. The performance is exceptional, none of the Harley riders can touch the bike in race even with their cams, tunes and exhaust upgrades. I can see this bike easily going 100k mikes no problem and I will not sell it as there's nothing better for the price in my opinion

I have a 2022 FJR, nice to ride, put 7000+ km last year between Canada and US, what can I say, love it.

I love my 2002 fjr its a tourer but has immense power my dream bike
Very good review, might get one instead of the Gold wing

nanometers of torque? wow, just wow
lol
Crappy translation. 😝
33000 mls on the clock with no probs so where do all the negatives come from
Yes my waft was no end of trouble then the mass went missing so I sold it😂

Can this bike be lower down

Well done. Fjr will be my next purchase..
Never been on one.I will be this week.If the riding position is close to perfect for me,I'll buy it on the spot.

BS video--He calls it FIZER? Likely an AI voice translating a script, not a guy who actually rides.
Whe there's a recall because 2nd gears are breaking its got nothing to do with the rider..
Nanometers? You mean Newton Meters
Low effort AI video...

What is a Fiser 1.300? This is ignorant AI stuff. I can't believe a word of it.

This sounds like AI, the terms you use are confusing and weird....maximum power around 250 kilometres per h? What the hell does that mean?
AI narrator sucks
Did he say 134 nano-meters of torque? Well, I guess you need Flintstone feet to own this bike...😂
Is this review being read from someone else's"review" never had/have the problems being described.
