Updated Yamaha FJR1300
For the 2013 model year Yamaha undertook some pretty major revisions of their flagship sport-touring motorcycle, the FJR1300. For 2014 Yamaha ups the ante another notch by offering a variant of the FJR with electronically adjustable suspension.
The new electronically controlled suspension offers a variety of different settings to suit different riders and riding conditions
- Preload options
- One Up
- One Up with Luggage
- Two Up
- Two Up with Luggage
- Damping options
- Soft
- Standard
- Hard
In order to incorporate the new electronic suspension, upside-down forks have been adopted which have independent left and right adjustments. The right side fork controls rebound damping, the the left side compression damping. Adjustments are made via a handlebar switch.
The FJR1300ES also incorporates a host of other features that are popular with the sport-touring crowd
- Drive-Mode power adjustment
- Cruise control
- Traction Control
- Electronically adjustable windscreen
- Heated grips
- Slim profile saddlebags
- 12-volt power outlet
We expect to see our first FJR1300ES on the showroom in November. It’s gonna look good in the new candy red color for 2014.
