Special Touring model featuring a custom designed windshield, an attractive studded seat, beautiful leather saddlebags, and a comfortable passenger backrest.

New for 2009, white wall tires and passenger floorboards

Engine Features
1783cc, 8-valve DOHC, 54 degree, liquid-cooled, fuel injected V-twin engine designed for strong throttle response and massive torque output

112mm bore and 90.5mm stroke utilizing forged aluminum alloy pistons with short skirts, and cut away sides riding on chrome moly steel connecting rods

Unique new two-stage cam drive system creates a compact cylinder head design and reduces overall engine height and creates a lower center of gravity

Each bore is lined with Suzuki's race proven SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) for optimum heat transfer, tighter piston-to-cylinder clearances and reduced weight

Crank inertia for the C109R is designed for increased torque delivery at low speed and for reduced vibration across the rpm range

A compact dry sump lubrication system SASS (Suzuki Advanced Sump System) provides reduced engine height, a lower crankshaft position and lower center of gravity

Five speed transmission features carefully selected gear ratios for comfortable cruising in a variety of riding situations

Three piece airbox uses dual intakes working through a pleated fabric air cleaner element

The 2-into-1-into-2 stainless steel chromed exhaust system features Suzuki's digitally controlled SET (Suzuki Exhaust Tuning) system for optimum engine performance and powerful V-twin sound

Electronic fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve system (SDTV) with 52mm throttle bodies - maintains optimum air velocity for smooth low-to-mid range throttle response

A new Idle Speed Control (ISC) system improves cold starting and stabilizes engine idle speed in various conditions

Dual spark plug per cylinder ignition system is controlled by the powerful 32 bit ECM for improved combustion efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions

Chassis Features
High-tensile double cradle steel frame is built to comfortably handle all the power and torque while delivering agile handling and a plush smooth ride

Cast alloy wheels feature a 10 spoke radial design for a clean and classic look. The cast wheels measure a 3.50 x 16 inch up front and a massive 8.00 x 16 inch rear tire wearing a huge 240mm radial tire

Combined braking system utilizes three pistons per caliper for the dual disc front braking system. When applying the front brake lever two pistons work at the front. When using the rear brake pedal both front brake and rear brake systems are combined using the rear brake and the middle piston of the front brake calipers through a delay valve.

Stylish pull back type handlebars feature a deep chrome plated finish and a beautiful wide design for a massive look

49mm front forks feature thick chrome covers for a stylish new look and feature 130mm of wheel travel

Link type aluminum swingarm creating a rigid tail look with light weight and high rigidity

YAMAHA FJR1300A


Key Features:
For 2009, the FJR1300A receives an updated clutch to reduce lever pressure for rider comfort.
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 boasts standard ABS and adjustable ergonomics—that widen the gap between it and common sport tourers.
Advanced air management system and adjustable bodywork keep the FJR rider looking and feeling cool.

Engine:
Compact, lightweight 1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine delivers power and torque for an unequaled spread of muscle over a wide rpm range.
Engine is a fully stressed chassis member, allowing for a lightweight frame design.
Curved radiator with custom ducting and twin-ring cooling fans keep engine and cockpit cool.
Slant-block engine design uses stacked, tri-axis gearbox shafts that help minimize powerplant size while optimizing chassis geometry for balanced weight distribution and great handling.
Lightweight forged pistons with carburized connecting rods provide superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass for outstanding high-rpm durability.
Patented electroplated ceramic composite cylinder bores ensure greater heat dissipation and thus reduced frictional power loss.
Advanced fuel injection system is ideal for long-distance supersport-touring, delivering crisp, seamless throttle response in a variety of altitude/weather conditions.
Gearshift shaft features a needle-roller bearing to reduce friction for silky-smooth shifting.
Shaft final drive system is super-durable and virtually maintenance-free.
Low-vibration crankshaft with two gear-driven secondary counterbalancers help deliver a glass-smooth ride with reduced rider/passenger fatigue.
Constant-mesh 5-speed transmission utilizes wide ratios to deliver relaxed long-distance touring performance combined with seamless power and acceleration.
Four-into-one-into-two stainless-steel exhaust optimizes engine performance across the powerband.
Wet-sump oil system uses an easy-access cartridge-type oil filter mounted on the engine’s left side.

Chassis/Suspension:
Sharp-looking bodywork and air-management system keep the bike and rider cooler; a central vent beneath the instrument panel cools the rider and reduces negative pressure, and fairing side panels with 1.2-inch adjustability let the rider direct airflow.
Adjustable ergonomics: the seat can be adjusted by nearly an inch, and handlebar pullback angle is three-position adjustable over a half-inch range.
Long swingarm provides even better ride and handling characteristics, and rear spring preload adjustment is a snap.
Standard equipment Unified Braking System w/ABS: The front brake lever activates six of the eight front braking pistons; the rear brake pedal activates two rear pistons and the other two front pistons—for balanced anti-lock braking in all conditions.
Ergonomically shaped, large-capacity, 6.6-gallon fuel tank offers excellent comfort and range and is constructed of steel allowing for the use of magnetic tankbags.
Rear frame with integrated grab handle makes lifting the bike onto the centerstand a snap.
An additional catalyst and a heated oxygen sensor are located in the exhaust for increased control range and low emissions.

Additional Features:
Subframe-fitted quick-release luggage mounts provide easy use of the standard accessory hard sidecases, which are conveniently matched to the ignition key.
Long dual seat features two-part construction using different foam densities for the front and rear sections, ensuring plush comfort for both rider and passenger.
Big windscreen adjusts over a wide range for improved wind protection with little negative pressure.
Instrument panel contains an electronic analog speedometer and tachometer; LCD digital odometer, dual tripmeters, gear position indicator, fuel, coolant and air temperature gauges, and clock; lights for neutral, high beam, turn signals, low oil and engine warnings—as well as real-time mileage, average mileage and air temperature.
Sleek, cat-eye dual 12V 60/55-watt multireflector headlights throws an extremely broad beam for superb visibility and feature easy-access adjustment knobs; mirrors are easy to adjust and retract horizontally.
Powerful dual-bulb taillight features integrated turn signals for a slick, one-piece look that’s aerodynamic and conspicuous.
Integrated front turn signals with clear lenses add to the FJR1300A’s cutting-edge aerodynamic bodywork.
