Hm. Guess I'll have to play with one.
PS- I'm probably not the only one that would be interested* in pics of the various different screens, with dialog on what/how they can be adjusted...
(Yeah, I originally said something else there, but why give y'all free ammunition?)
Assumption that I'm talking about any generation of OEM grip heaters is incorrect. I've never intentionally bought a bike with factory grip heaters before- and when the Tiger 800 XC came with them... I took them off.
Me, either.

I guess you are talking about the owners manual not the service manual?

Great looking bike for 2013. I am in Europe and have the 2007 1300A in Dark Cherry farkled like crazy!! Leaning real hard towards the 2013 version but have time to decide as the riding season here in Germany doesn't really start until March. I have been following this thread and again compliments on the wealth of information provided with pictures on the Gen III.
I have read the discussion of the cruise control for the US model and would like to update all that the European version of the new FJR cruise control will operate starting in 3rd gear at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour (31.06856 US miles per hour) and operates until 180 kilometers per hour (111.8468 US miles per hour). This is clearly stated on Yamaha's brochure and the German website for Yamaha. Can't say if there is a way to change the US version but it might just be a software issue. When talking with my Yammie dealer here, I'll see if they'll give me the "how it is done" information.
Okay...outta here but will chime in when I see diferences from the US version vs the European version just so we can see how the world of the FJR turns on the different global markets.

No such thing as a 'software mod' on an FJR. Pony up to replace the whole ECU, I guess the Euro one. Can you say $$$$$?
So let's say you put a Euro ECU on your North American FJR to get the higher cruise limit. Would that work? What unwanted changes could come along wtih it?

Euro bike come with chipped keys so unless the Gen 3 US bike now have a chipped key it won't be as simple as an ECU swap.
According to Yamaha's site, the US-spec. key blanks are the same as previous generation bikes.

No chipped keys in USA FJRs unless I have missed something from Richard's report.

I'm sure it can be done too. It's just that the word easy won't be in the same sentence. When the early Gen IIs had altitude sickness Yamaha chose to replace the entire ECU instead of doing an ECU flash. At ~ $750 plus labor to replace the ECU I think that Yamaha would have flashed the units if they could. It is also telling that none of the aftermarket people like Dynojet have a solution that lets them diddle with the spark timing either.
The US doesn't get an immobilizer (or colors) and I've heard from the Great White North that if you loose your chipped key it can cost roughly $1,000 Canadian Bux to recover. Perhaps I don't mind not having an immobilizer.
