- Yamaha FJR1300 Centerstand Swingarm Lube Points Service 16000 Miles - NOTE: at 33 min I missed a clip, also grease the two end bearings. This is by far the biggest maintenance job for the bike. I blame no one for paying the $1000+ to a dealer to do it all, as long as they do it ALL right. It's a several hour procedure at best and takes a few hundred in tools, some of which you probably don't yet have. I go through it all including reassembly and torque specs with some common problems along the way. It covers:
side panel removal
rear wheel removal
swingarm removal
center stand removal
sidestand removal
side pedals removal
u-joint removal
all lube points
The replacement bolts are part # 90101-10004

Thanks Bryan. I just finished doing the dogbone bearings, swing arm, and all the other things you teach us how to do in this video. It took me about 20 hours all told. By far the biggest mechnical challenge I have ever undertaken. I'm a senior, with lots of time, and this is something I thought I'd enjoy learning how to do. The dealership price for all this is well over $700 Canadian dollars, and saving that money has paid for all the tools required to do this job, and many more besides. For those interested: I took 10 pages of notes from this video, and then went thru my notes and ticked each item off as I did it. I made note of the time on the video where each topic was addressed, making it easy to come in from the garage and look at the video again, if I was unclear on something, and then go back out and proceed. Worked like a charm. Thanks again.
Rob, albeit two years ago, do you still have your written work available?
@@pjotrvandaalen967 Hi Pjotr. Yes, I still have it. Why?
Brian I want to personally thank you for taking the time to make this video and all of your other fjr1300 videos. By following your instructions I was able to complete this service and save myself lots of $$.
For removing cross-head screws, use a hammer type impact driver along with a set of Vessel impact bits. You can find them on eBay for about $10, shipped from Japan. They're proper JIS heads, which are slightly different than Philips bits.You can also get a Vessel 'Impacta' screwdriver, which has a built-in impact driver function. I haven't had a chance to use mine on any difficult screws, unfortunately.Maybe you already have proper JIS bits, but I thought I'd mention it. Good video. I'm considering buying an FJR and it's good to see some maintenance.
Please upvote so people not miss this. In the dogbone pivot assembly there is two more needle bearings that you missed! One at each end. Recommend to remove completly. Pray out the rubber seals and take out the needels ( keep them and clean them in a magnetic tray). Clean hole and bushing and assemblewith new grease. Just did my -12 modell. Never seen grease that was so hard, it was like plastic, came out in pieces!! Cant belive you and everyone else missed this?!
Great video. Someone told me that these bikes are easily maintained, and dont cost a lot to run. It doesnt appear this way from all your good videos!
Wow, just another GREAT video! Even if someone is no DIY-mechanic, there's always some info that is stored in the brain for future purposes. Always a pleasure to watch you doing stuff...
Brian, thank you so much for all of your detailed videos. You do such a fantastic job of describing the steps and in producing quality videos. Invaluable resource for all of us DIY mechanics. This service is next up for me so seeing someone tackle it first is so incredibly helpful. Much appreciated. Jim
Thanks for this, used your videos to do several services including this swingarm grease service, and also the steering bearing lube. Thanks again for your quality videos!
Thanks Bryan, gave me the confidence to undertake this job. Took 2 days but I know that it has been done right.
I'm doing this service for the second time . I'm glad this video is still here. Thanks dude.
Bryan, thank you for taking the time to make this video! Originally I was letting the dealer do my maintenance as it was prepaid for 4yrs (only $3K at the time when the bike was a year old and I made out like a bandit putting 79K miles on my '13). Alas my maintenance contract ran out in 2018 and I bought my '19 the following spring (from a different dealer). Now I'm getting around to doing the maintenance on the 2013 before selling it and finding the dealer wasn't doing such an awesome job at maintenance. Your video and details certainly helped give me the confidence to tackle the job. I appreciate all you do with trying to help us learn and tackle the maintenance while saving us some $$$ from dealer service. Cheers!
Wow. Not that long ago, bikes had grease nipples on swingarm bearings, shock pivots and steering head bearings. What happened ? Now you can't grease anything without pulling it apart.
Hello, I have seen many of your videos, all respect, you understand something of this motorcycle, you are a sympathetic guy
Thank you for taking the time to make this awesome video! Just completed this and your video was instrumental in my success!
Excellent tip on using the soldering iron to loosen the bolt. Thanks!!
Collectively you have probably saved us between 150 and $200,000. Thanks a bunch
Fantastic instructional video, probably the best I have ever seen. Thanks a million !
Hi Bryan, greetings from Australia and thanks for the video tutorial. It gave me the confidence to tackle this job and I appreciate your efforts. Ride well.
Excellent video. The problem is a LOT of dealers stamp your book and say yeah yeah I've done it... but they don't do it.
Great video! I'll be doing this service to my Super Tenere in the near future. It probably won't be that much different. After some past issues, it's getting to the point where I don't really trust dealers anymore to do any type of work other than items that need replacement under warranty.
Your videos are very good ,it's no wonder this job gets neglected.I never trust dealers to work on my bikes as I don't believe the majority would do jobs such as this but would charge you plenty . Thanks again , very informative .
I recently lubed all the pivot bearings on my full suspension mountain bicycle and plan to do my own service on my FJ-09 when the time comes. I doubt I'll video it all, but it was nice to see somewhat how the the task be. Motorcycles are a lot like bicycles, just much heavier.
Thanks so much for your fjr videos, they have been a great help!
Fantastic video. Will be doing this soon on my 2016. Now I know what to expect. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for making this video and show us how it's done! Excellent video! wow!
Thanks for making this video, it was very helpful when I did this job on my Gen 1 FJR.
Another excellent and informative vid with some good tips. Thanks Bryan, keep up the good work! 👍
Great video, swing arm now done on my 08. Thanks for the tip with the soldering iron, my issue was with one of the side stand bolts to get at the swing arm nut. Ten minutes of heat did the trick ! Turning point of the day, the rest was a breeze.
+randolph feuerriegel good job!
Excellent video. This would take me a weekend for sure. Thanks again.
i like the way you do things around your bike) looked pretty cool without the swingarm, my girlfriend was watching me changing the chain/sprocket set, and she was like ,,oh my!,, what would she say seeing what you did to the fjr : D and she will see it, thats upcoming for my klr650, it has only 22tkm on it, but thouse were not the easiest ones)
thank you for the video,as the fjr is going to be my next bike, its handy to know how its made/works and what it needs to look after)
have a nice day
Thanks for a great video. On my 2010 I have an R1 shift lever where it enters the crankcase, reduces the throw on the shift lever, I prefer it over stock.
You are a Godsend! Thank you for this and all your other videos. I've learned so much and $$aved a ton of money.
Great stuff, I bet Yamaha will be using this as a training video 😁
You are such a great great mecanic guy I wish my yamaha checked by you ... thanks alot
I've looked forward to seeing this! I'm not likely to tackle this myself, however you will save lots of people lots of money Bryan! Best motorcycle channel on UA-cam in my opinion!
Absolutely superb! Whoever gets your bike when (or IF) you let her go will be a VERY lucky buyer indeed. Even though I would never attempt to do that, I really enjoyed seeing your usual problem solving as well as seeing parts of our bike not normally seen. Well done.
Damn man. That's involved. But great video, thanks for taking the time.
Fantastic video and I really appreciate the time you have put in.
You are right, this both an inspection as well as a lubrication.
However, I would hope that by annually lubricating through a nipple the wear'n'tear would be reduced to such an extend that the inspection is only needed every 32'000 miles or so...
Great video, awesome detail, way above my ability/skill level... but thanks for sharing this!
Let some air out of the back tire makes removal easier. At least it did on my MAX.
Very nice video. thanks for the great information. A couple of video tips for you. Audio quality is so important. Yours was awesome; very clean. The pacing got a bit quick in the assembly part; it'd still be nice to see each step, even if briefly. Spend some time learning about white balance and exposure. You tended to be all over the map on those. That kind of stuff can be a distraction. Great job.
Excellent video and step-by-step instructions. Thank you for sharing. Do you have a video on removing the starter motor or replacing the plug wires?
Thank you very much once again for an outstanding video.
Ok, looks easy, I'll do this during my next coffee break.
This is what Ive been doing on my FJR1300 this afternoon Long overdue 22k miles , slight play on swingarm Not concerning I was cought no tools in the garage for rear wheel bearing retainer
welcome back to youtube buddy i thought u quit
I suspended a Harbor Freight chain hoist from a garage beam, and it thread a 2" nylon strap thru the pillion grab bars, under the pillion and back up thru the opposite grab bar to the same effect.
Picking up a 14 FJR and this is one of the things I've seen a lot on. Bike has 13000 on it and may just make this my winter task as Wisconsin doesn't have much winter riding weather typically
Excellent video .. thanks for sharing your expertise.
very thankful for your videos, Bryan.
WOW !! What a outstanding video. THANK YOU !!!!
Excellent! Thanks so much for a really great video! 👏👏👏
I have to replace the rear tire and with 19k on it I will do this service too. Nice heads up on the 2 bolts you cut out... Also the steering shaft bearings lube.... Coolant change.... Thanks Seeya down the road... Peace
WRT the rear axle bolt (27MM), a 1 1/16 " SAE wrench will also fit. 1 1/16 and 27MM are virtually identical. Ditto for the front axle bolt. A 7/8 fits that perfectly. If you have those SAE sizes, you can save a few bucks by not buying the metric tools.
On my A model, removing the side panels wasn't necessary. Also my suspension linkage is cast a little bit differently than yours so I'm trying to verify correct installation direction currently. Other than that the A model process is basically identical.
I didn't seem necessary to me to remove the cotter pin from the rear brake lever actuator. I was able to clean and lube the pin without disassembly so I went that route.
I would love to see the service records on one of these bikes before I buy it because that is a really big job to do every 16,000 miles I personally would have thought they would have been good for 30 or more
Excellent video as usual. Thanks.
Wow! What a gift. Thanks!!!
A lot to do and I COULD do it but I'd rather pay the dealer. HOWEVER, it's just so hard to find a dealer that won't skip steps. If you want it done right, you've got to do it yourself anymore. My bike was delivered to me with NO gear oil in the rear diff. Was it checked off the assembly list? Of course it was. I didn't catch it until I changed the break-in oil. Obviously, I won't have my bike serviced where I bought it.
in the event you need to heat bolt. heat anllan wrench with torch careful not to much as to take temper out insert into bolt and wait a moment this will transfer heat to soften locktight
Outstanding video!!!!! Thank you so much!
Excellent video. Thanks so much.
Thank you help me rebuild and get back on the road . Sorted nice 👍
Brilliant as usual!!
That's a ton of work! Wow! Hey, btw... UA-cam automatically Unsubscribed me from your channel. I pretty much watch your stuff daily but hadn't in just a few days... I resubscribed.
Thanks for letting me know!
Great job. Thank you.
at 33:06 you mention there are 2 bearings in the middle of the dog bone. There are 2 more, one on top and another on the bottom. Mine were completely seized up and ended up replacing both. At a minimum, these needs to be inspected and repacked with lithium grease. Thought I would share. Thanks for the video. Made the job some much easier.
Ahem - read the video description...
Duly noted!
Brian great video, it helped me remove both my wheels on my 2018 FJR and take them to the tire store to have new tires mounted. My question, when I tighten the rear nut on the rear axel, If I go above 30 fps, the rear wheel will not turn. I have to keep the nut on a low fps to allow the wheel to move freely. Have I done something wrong with mounting the rear tire back on. I have rode the bike and it rides well but I don't feel comfortable with the rear nut being that loose. Your help would be appreciated.
Kudos. Lots involved.
Something I would try with the stuck bolt is to use a drill impact. I have a Black and Decker Matrix that I have started using for some of this kind of stuff and that may be an easier way to loosen it.
Also, what camera were you using for this?
Gran vídeo y trabajas muy bien
What happens when you find a problem that is covered under warranty after you disassemble a significant portion? Do you have to put everything back together to bring the bike to the dealer for the warranty repair? Or can you just get the replacement warranted parts from the dealer? Are the bearings covered under the warranty?
Very informative mate :)
Hi, Would you happen to know the minimal thickness of the rear brake disk per chance [ FJR ES 2016 ] ? Thank you!
Thank you so much Bryan for this really informative video. Please let me know the details of the stand on which you have suspended the engine for mounting. Thank you in advance. I would like to make a stand like this myself. What tube did you use? Can you send me a blueprint with sizes?
Does anyone know if I can use this on a 2003 model ? great vid
Bryan, thanks for sharing your labor of love. One of the biggest added benefits of owning this bike right now is your channel. Question. When you cut off the front center stand bolts, what did you use to grab the remaining stud to remove them? Also, I'm assuming there was enough of that stud on the inside of the center stand bracket to grab ahold of, and thread them out clockwise towards the bike's center. Thx
It's not a stud, just the end of the bolt - it's just slides out
What do you recommend for cleaning off lock tight from nuts and bolts. I’m watching your videos because my 16 Super Tenere is do for a lot of work like your FJR and I like the way you work. I always learn so much from you. Especially patience!! That’s my biggest problem and ham hands. Thanks!!!
Brake/carb cleaner works fast
Great job! Mate
Great video, but wouldn’t it have been easier to remove the exhaust? There’s only a handful of fasteners that hold the headers on. Plus, if you also pull the radiator, you can do a coolant flush then too.
Enjoyed Nice job
Hello. loved your video. though I do not understand English. me everything is clear.
Cheap tools will round off bolt heads. When I'm using a cheap tool and the bolt head starts to round off I gray a SnapOn, Marco or and OLD Craftsmen and it loosens 99℅of the time. Try it.
Hello. Excellent video. I have the job coming up for the first time. My question is: Is there any concern for the ABS unit while pushing the rear brake piston back with the C clamp? I know a lot of cars require you to open the bleeder instead of backing fluid through the ABS. Thanks in advance.
No.
T hi s will definitely make someone else a really good used bike if you trade it or sell it
Hi. Not sure if you realise but that big electronic shock, pump and reservoir, the whole assembly, will drop through the front of the swing arm. No need to remove the whole rear end.
I did find a company that would re build the rear shock after the seals blew, saved me £1800. They had to machine another piston as Yamaha will not supply seals!!
Good to know, hopefully I’ll never need to though lol
Love the video B!!!
Question...why do we even need to remove the center stand with it's mounting bracket? Why not just remove the center stand pivot bolts and viola. Probably a good idea to remove the spring first but I don't see a need to remove the whole assembly. Thoughts? Concerns?
Now I see. Garbage!
Great video. Did this whole job last year. What a pain but the swing arm had to come out to get at the actuator for my AS models cluch.(Need to get at it to bleed/flush the system). Made up some S/S bolts with nyloc nuts for the centre stand. Did you have any clearance issue with the nut for the right front bolt ?.
Nope. The stock parts go right in.
HI Bryan, excellent video that will enable me to tackle this job. One question though, after you sawed off the two pesky bolts with the reciprocating saw did you replace them with new stock ordered OEM bolts and nuts or did you easily source them or something in a similar to exact size and thread from third a third party vendor , as in Hardware store , tool store. etc etc??
New OEM
Do you clean the internal threads of old Loctite and clean the bolt threads before replacing the bolts with new Loctite?
Usually it’s just the bolt with anything left.
Fantastic tutorial Bryan! I'm thinking of buying one of these and the swing arm greasing issue is concerning me. The bike is a 2007 gen 2 with 32k miles, the service book shows the job having been done at about 12k I think so it'll need doing again. What is the actual mileage interval for this job?
16k miles Andy
At 9:29, there appears to be a crack in the swing arm housing. On the far right side. Hope I'm wrong.
You're wrong. It's a shadow.
Excellent video. thanks for sharing.
Will you do your 25000mile service yourself also?
Yep - it's just the vavle inspection/adjustment left, everything else has been done.
Great to know Bryan, looking forward to the video.
Thanks for sharing.
Great videos. Appreciate all your detailed hard work. So this is supposed to be done every 16000 miles? What a joke. I was going to buy one, but not anymore.
It's regular maint on all bikes, some have far more.
@@TwoWheelObsession they make cars with low maintenance why not bikes. Remember when we had grease joints under the car. Why can't the make a gréase point for the swing arm? I'm sure they could.
Truly excellent 'how to' video. Would probably tackle this now whereas I would not have before just reading the book!!. What's the ballpark for a dealer to do this service?
Thanks! I've seen quotes from $600+
Guess who is selling his 2014 FJR at 16,000 miles ! But thanks anyway !
To anyone doing work on any Japanese bikes, do yourself a favour and invest in JIS (Japanese Industry Standard) screwdrivers. Philips =/= JIS, Philips are designed to cam out, and cause stripping, by design so you can't over torque assembly. JIS is straight cut, no cam grooves, and does not cam out. Metric bikes = Metric tools.
I'll offer you 2 weeks vacation at my Finca in Spain if you do this lube job on my 2008, airfare not included....
Subtitulos en español, please, thanks.
I can't wait to put miles on an FJR and do this. But, first, I have to sell the Honda Shadow. Wife's orders.
This may have been asked already somewhere but.....why would Yamaha make a bike that needs this much maintenance at 16k and this much work to do it? Spraying these points with penetrating grease or using zerk fittings not in cards here? I'm a new FJR owner (09 AE, 77k) and dreading this to the point of selling the bike for an easier bike to work on. Tell me I'm wrong (because I really do like the bike). Or at least is all this really necessary or nice to do stuff. Using this great video, I think I can do it instead of paying a stealership but gee, one commenter said he had 20 hours in it. Man!
