    ignition disabler "chip key"

    Correct on the two black keys. You can have two black keys coded at the same time (but no more than two!), wether the keys are coded to the EU or vice versa I do not know, but you need the red key to perform the coding sequence. If you are missing the red key, you may have a challenge, but fear...

    FJR 1300A with inverted fork

    Nope, not yet available. One of our club members has one on order. I haven't heard a confirmed delivery date yet, but I have heard that it may even be later than April 2013...

    FJR 1300A with inverted fork

    Check my post here: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/151032-2013-front-springs-replacement/ Front springs for 2012 can be used , but require some small modification to the spacer tubes. Rear shocks can be used on a '13, no problem. I have the YA 053. This suits me fine, since...

    2013 Front springs replacement

    I have been in touch with HK suspension today, and they advised my to adjust up the damping considerably for starters and test if this softens up the ride. If not, it is the spring itself. Just did some tests on a 60 minutes ride. Softening up damping with 10 clicks to start helps considerably...

    2013 Front springs replacement

    Please bear in mind: the springs showing in the pictures are the Gen3 and Gen2 original springs. I actually forgot to take a picture of the new springs and only realized this once they were already installed ... The new Wilbers springs used are progressive and for those of you who know what...

    2013 Front springs replacement

    The damping adjustment setting was made by the suspension expert, not me. But I believe your thinking is correct: I had already adjusted the standard settings for damping, since I found these too soft. Prior to replacing the springs I had them set to 8 (top) and 5 (bottom). The "less...

    2013 Front springs replacement

    This weekend our dutch FJR Community had an organized 'tech day' at a dutch Suspension specialist: HK Suspension. I used this opportunity to replace my rear shock (Ohlins YA-053) and front springs. Since mine was the first 2013 they got into the shop it was quite interesting to find out what...

    2013, looking for technical specs front springs

    For my 2013 I am looking for replacement shock and front springs. I had hyperpro springs on my 2008 and liked hem a lot. I will have an Ohlins shock installed in March . As for the front springs, I seem to be the first 2013 owner asking , and the shop is not sure what the technical specs for...

    2013--Erratic/Random Coolant Temp Readout--Problem?

    Checked the temp reading on my EU model this morning. (Mine states temp in celcius.) Did not check it all the time, but the variation does not seem to be alarming to me: At similar speeds (120 / 130 kph) varying temps between 75 celsius and 90 celcius. I can live with that...

    Top Trunk on Gen III

    I bought this colour: Midnight Black Picture was taken at Yamaha Europe last year, when they offered us a pre-trial ride... As you can see the larger case does exist, but apparently still somewhere in de distribution channel...

    Black wheels

    The answer was already given. In europe we have three color options: 'frosted blade' (= your stone grey), very dark orange metallic and midnight black... By the way: all colors have black rims in Europe too...

    Top Trunk on Gen III

    I ordered the 50L version with mine (in black). The FJR was delivered two weeks ago, the case was not yet available. I am awaiting a phonecall from my dealer that it has arrived....so far no luck...

    Black wheels

    Ik kind of like the black rims on my midnight black 2013! Just to add something special I applied reflective wheelstriping today. Had this on my previous FJR (with grey rims). The black striping blends right in, until the moment light needs to be reflected...

    2013 FJR 1300 Owner's "Registry"

    Same in Europe: it appears the dealers do not forget to install it, Yamaha does. The part is on backorder and all new FJR's I know in the Netherlands are also delivered without the mudflap. I tried to swap the flap from my 2008 to the 2013, but that does not fit. Made myself a temporary...
