Budget Bike - Yamaha FJR1300 Review

[@debenhamdave4314]

Lovely bike sad it's being discontinued, great to see reviews of older cheaper bikes. Cheers Bruce.

[@Antimortem]

How did you know it's discontinued?

[@debenhamdave4314]

@@Antimortem think I heard that due to not being able to make Euro 5 regulations.

[@Antimortem]

@@debenhamdave4314 you think a measly issue like that would stop Yamaha from continue selling the best seller FJR 1300? Never.....

[@alp3781]

I bought 5 years ago new out of the showroom, the ES model. It was such a nice machine to ride. Zero problems, easy to work on, cheap parts, very comfortable even for tall riders. Smooth like butter, easy shifting, just overall great buy. I do not have room for 2 bikes that is why I sold it and bought a new GW DCT Tour. You can't go wrong with the FJR....period. Reminds me my very old CBR1100 XX.

[@jaysimpson6857]

I’m thinking of buying a GW for the first time but also considering going back to an FJR. Is there much difference between the two not taking into account the gearbox?

[@alp3781]

@@jaysimpson6857 One is Escalade (GW) and FJR is Subaru WRX 😄😄😄. Depends on your day to day riding, you will go no wrong with either one. The GW is the king of long rides. Like no other bike on this planet. End of story.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great bikes these aren't they Brucey - missed that sound too, lovely when you wind them up....such a shame Euro5 has killed them off.....

[@teapotone]

Aye absolutely Andy, I remember watching your review vid when you did it and thinking to myself, “Nah, not my cup of tea”, then I rode one - much like the GS. Great bike. Here’s hoping Yamaha come up with a new model to take over its place soon 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

@@teapotone The GoldWing had the same effect on me....

[@nickprice3605]

Glad to see you 2 are mates in "real life" too 👍

[@ydarbg]

How come the images of the black FJR are so much better quality 🤭🚧

[@bobhill2057]

Awesome bike and talk about reliable...... Had an '08 that I bought new in ' 09 for $4000 off list. Great bike, put 80,000 miles on it with zero issues in 10 years. I did upgrade the front forks (adjustable preload springs + adjustable rebound/compression valving) and replaced the rear shock with an aftermarket (adjustable as above). This mod changed everything about the ride and handling for the MUCH better, didn't feel like you were riding a 640 pound FJR , I pushed it hard .... I love the twisty country and mountain roads of central and northern California. Well, now I ride a '19 KTM 1290 SD GT, it's an ANIMAL, Love it! But, I still miss the FJR.

[@simonbroom7459]

I had an 06 and loved it most of the time, pulled like a train, handled ok but got a bit wallowey in high speed sweepers. If anyone buys one make sure to check the swing arm bearings and the rear suspension link bearings as they are not in the service routine and they can seized and snap the suspension links

[@denismillar6477]

I'm pleased you're testing the"classics" I would love for you to test the Yamaha Fazer 1000, first generation. Your opinion would be appreciated.

[@falseneutral7890]

used to own an '06 gen2. It is fantastic on the open road and especially on the Autobahn, really 220km/h with panniers and all no sweat. My subjective issues were crapy geometry, jerky throttle, went through front tyres like nothing else... Solved that with complete Hyperpro suspension and Power commander 5 then it became a weapon. Back then at 41 i was the youngest at an FJR meat up...should tel you enough. Got the most compliments for looks though. I miss it at times, don't tel my wife ..

[@NOTHOTlanta]

Great video ! Just picked up a pristine 2011 here in Georgia USA. 8000 miles on the clock. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Coming off a 600 sportbike, this rides like a Cadillac:)

[@moarmoto9]

Great to see someone reviewing these budget used bikes that are the only thing some of us can afford! :)

[@markariewilliams]

Great review however the 1st gen weighed in at 237KG dry as later models had abs which increased the weight. 3rd gear as you correctly mentioned is a peach in the twisties, in 2016 KBR took over the suspension and the springs are a lot thicker, Gen 1 and 2 suffered weak rear shocks. There is a mod on gen 1 and 2 shocks where you can add a washer spacer to the spring to stiffen it up, alongside shorter dog bones which raise the rear end totally transform this bike into a 600cc feel handling wise. The 1st Gen is easier to fettle with on the rear due to no ABS unit by the rear shock, servicing this bike is a peach and so easy including plugs (once i removed the Pair valve and Plumbing) air filter, oil and filter even synching the throttle bodies whilst doing the plugs. All in all ive had over 130 bikes looking for that magical combination of comfort, speed braking etc and this one has finally stopped me from looking at anything else! 145HP catapults you redlining into another dimension, the Famous R1 blue spot calipers combined with EBC HH pads are winners, periodicaly flush the brake and clutch fluids for best performance. As mentioned, check the rear suspension linkeage as these items can be overlooked and it has been reported that the linkeage can seize and break if not addressed. the final drive oil is so easy to check and replace also. To sum up, this bike has ruined me in regards to anything else out there, have had multistrada enduro, GTR1400, ZZR1400, both Hayabusas and many many more but my 02 FJR is the all round winner for me, 20 stone and 6 foot 3 and i dont hang around. Hoe this helps, Mark.

[@AW8UK]

Happy with current "mainly recreational" ride....'09 CB1000R (naked) but when weather turns I do hanker for more (some) rain protection. Your testimony valued by me as you prefer this out of 130 bikes ! Have thrown my leg over one & it fitted like a glove. Also like the VFR1200F (facelift ridden) & R1200RS & ST1300 (not ridden), as used propositions....Not a fan of frequent chain maintenance & adjustment. Manual handling to acess tight/sloped (home) parking a negative factor. Also potential to have to pick up after a drop puts me off heavier bikes.. (5'9" 12.5 stone bloke in 50's Relatively fit BUT lifetime caution needed after abdominal hernia OP). Thanks for sharing your experienced thoughts 👍🏍

[@Kingsoupturbo]

Appreciate the review! have my eye on an earlier less expensive used one.

[@chrisrentas6471]

Great Review Mate ! I Loved how you jump right back on the Bike after your Fall. You are a REAL Biker !! You made me Laugh !! Thank you so much !

[@brogiesthemotorcyclist5408]

Hi Bruce, great review of an iconic motorcycle. I had two of these over a 12 year period, absolutely bullet proof bike (5 speed version) didn’t even have a bulb blow over the ownership period, never failed to deliver me and the missus on many European tours. Only moved away after missus didn’t want to tour with me after many years, she is a hefty piece of kit but a brilliant two up ride.

[@800Viffer]

I assume your last sentence refers to the bike 😂

[@Jaffa1951]

Love these S/H bike reviews that you're doing. I don't know of any other Vlogger that's making these and, I don't really understand why. Most of the KZbin Vloggers have made friends with 1 or more dealerships, and most, if not all, dealerships allow test rides. I know they might not want anyone who wasn't a potential buyer, riding their ' just valeted ' machines, but before that's been done, I don't see what they've got to lose, and they might find a potential buyer via the Vlogger's KZbin channel. Keep it up Bruce, you're leading the way.

[@vladthewise2234]

Thank you sir for this review! I drive 2004 FJR1300 and it is nice to see and hear everyone who shares the same opinion ;)

[@johnwgibson24]

[@russellsprout2223]

Excellent review, Bruce. I ride a '12 plate, gen2 - best bike I've owned. Great to see road tests of 'real world' machines. Keep up the great work. Atb.

Hi Bruce, Thought I recognised the roads especially from Aldbourne to Marlborough. One of my regular rides. I live on the outskirts of Swindon:) Avebury Bruce is an Ancient monument of world wide importance. Go back to school:) Sandy

Bruce. Have a look at this guy. Off road with FJR1300. Amazing riding.

[@ArmadilloGodzilla]

Love that you review an older, but still highly potent, bike. Come to think of it, that sort of describes some older people too.

[@GordonHunter]

Really useful to see a review on an older bike - what great value that would be - and fun to see you riding my cycle and biking roads around Marlborough.

[@waynecompton7612]

Good morning Bruce, Thank you for the review! I did think about having one but settled for a Honda ST 1300 Pan European!! Take care and stay safe 👍😎🇬🇧.

[@thedarrendasher8134]

Brilliant bike Bruce, owned two over ten years an '09 then a new '16 AE. Absolutely bullet proof motors and silky smooth too. The FJ/FJR Club is brilliant with runs all through the year. I traded the AE in for a 1250GS-TE Exclusive eighteen months ago. Love the GS but miss the FJRs motorway crushing ability. You need to try an FJ1200 (I still have mine) as they're brilliant too.

[@lew-ejones-ayres5088]

Love the budget bike series, going to hopefully pick up a 4fi this weekend and your video pretty much made my mind up

[@andrewshore262]

Another great watch Bruce👍, I’m glad you recovered your camera relatively intact? I’ve always loved these machines heavy old beasts but real mile munchers great review of a classic bike. Now, get your leg slung over a CBX six and let’s see what you make of one of those - that’ll pull in the views.

Had a squaddie mate who when posted in Germany would commute to England on his days Off, on one, did 250000 miles no issues but he was handy with spanners did all his own servicing

[@mickangel3945]

I'm on my third FJR. The snatchy throttle can be dialled out by making mixture adjustments for each cylinder via accessing the diag mode.

[@dutydruid9375]

Avebury Ring at the top end of Devizes. The stones form a circle around a village and are said to hold the same mystique as Stonehenge, Glastonbury Tor etc. a lot of 'deviners' turn up in summer using their devining rods to feel the lay lines beneath. Good vid again, nice bike too, my mates had them from the 1100 model. Would not have anything else. Yamaha used to claim the bike was the first bike purposely designed as a sports tourer.

[@IanTed]

We used them blood biking, front end heavy but a great bike to ride and super smooth and quick...

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Great bikes..knew you'd enjoy it. Ive got a later 2004 abs version.. awesome machine. Mines at 90k miles and still a solid reliable machine. Does everything i need from a bike. Commute or fast twistys..touring all over.. just does it all.

[@teagoodsir1734]

Fantastic bike my stepdads got one and it’s got 90,000 miles on it with the original engine and it still looks really good

[@cport955]

Really enjoying this series. Heated gloves are the best biking gear ever

[@terrydaniel8698]

Brilliant sort of thing you enjoy watching older bikes do a lot more Brucie

[@BibtheBoulder]

I do enjoy looking through your back catalogue. Great review this, and just shows you don't need to have the latest bike/model to get a great bike. Also pleased to see your subs reaching the numbers you deserve. Sure it won't be long before you have 100,000. I think most people who buy a 500+cc bike do so with every intention of a 'good ride out'. Thus may I politely suggest you test how long in distance and time any bike you are testing can be ridden before numb-bum syndrome wins. This is a test that is very difficult to do on a short test ride from a dealer, yet a real let-down when, having spent potentially thousands on your dream machine you find it utterly impossible to ride for more than xxx hours. Keep up the great work.....

[@teapotone]

Cheers Bib, I do mention the numb-bumb factor when it rears it’s ugly head 😉🤣👍

[@martinadams1560]

Love my gen 2 great bike bloody fast, great sports tourer, change rear shock and upgrade folk springs becomes an bike that handles very well for 300 kg. Great review

[@andydomanski2876]

Always nice to see an FJR review. I'm on my 4th and have had it nearly 4 yrs now, to be honest I don't know what I'd change it for as it does everything I need a bike to do, it's as fast as you like, super reliable and economical too, avge over 54mpg during my ownership. Such a shame they're being discontinued but hopefully Yamaha will see fit to replace it soon. Thanks for the vid! 👍

[@zero1strike]

Got an 03 with 23 k miles on it, same colour as this bike .. absolutely comfortable bike to ride, has proper teeth when you need the power, excellently practical & brilliant headlights as well, it lights up the entire frontal area like a car .. Owned mine 4 years now, things i’ve done, fitted a 52 l top box, upgraded brake pads for EBC hh units ( EXCELLENT BITE ) , uprated cct ( Cam Chain Tensioner ), hand guards.. thats it ! Toured around Scotland on it... very impressed with her 😎👌🏻👌🏻

[@BigBadLoneWolf]

Bruce, try Gerbing gloves, 4 settings, but never put them on highest, as you will burn your hands. I have ridden in minus 4 and they were toasty and warm. need to be a snug fit, so that the heat is transferred direct to your skin from the glove. BTW 295kg wet is not heavy, the yamaha i have weighs in at 396kg wet

[@thomashayter6834]

+1 on the Gerbing gloves 👍 best gear investment I’ve made, never had cold hands riding the bike since, even when the temperature is below freezing.

[@johnwatson5473]

How lucky are you with where the GoPro landed !! Having video of being run over by that tractor would have been exciting !! Ride safe on those greasy roads - go back in the summer with a guide book and explore the stones - its a good reason to get out on the bike and have a pub lunch ( we can dream ! ).

( i dont do that often ), cant see me getting rid any time soon. especially with my son waiting out one more year before he can convert that a2 to a full A, and the NC500 still to be done - when the damn world opens up, 3.500 for that 2002 in disguise as a 2004 seems a tad over priced to me, but i guess dealers gotta try it on.

I used to ride a 2019 6 speed one for the blood bikes, best way to describe it for me was ZZR1400 engine on the R1200RT (owned both). VFR1200F DCT isn't far off either but much closer to the ZZR1400

I love the idea of the FJR... it's just such a shame they never updated it much and now it's been discontinued. I was genuinely considering getting one recently but for a pretty expensive bike they just look old--both bodywork and dash.

[@teapotone]

Yeah, they certainly have a very dated look don’t they - but they are a very capable bike and you get a LOT for your money at the moment with second hand ones. I can see the FJR becoming a very sought after machine in years to come, so snap one up now whilst you can 😉👍
