For 2009, the FJR1300A receives an updated clutch to reduce lever pressure for rider comfort.
No color change is lame. Musta had a lot of black paint leftover.

So..........black wheels, black fuel tank trim piece, different fairing sticker, and a reduced effort clutch. All that for a $591 (4%) price increase.
Whoopee!
How anti-climatic. Let the forum fodder begin for real!

They're not black. It's the same bike as the '08 with a different clutch and a higher price. That's it, that's all.
Looks like shades of the "extended" 2005 offerings when we got two runs of the Galaxy Blue. The next big refinement must be coming in 2010. FJR1400, 165hp, 7-speed, inverted forks, improved rear shock, wider rear tire, more adjustable handlebars, higher MPG must be available one more year out. I should be ready by then.
There is a huge difference. One is a Raven 2008, the other is a Raven 2009. Oh yeah and the price too.... :blink:

Whew!
I escaped another year without being tempted into upgrading!
Thanks Yamaha!

This sucks. If I wanted black, which I absolutely don't, I would have bought an '08.

I officially proclaim this the 'Darth Vader' FJR! :lol:
Ya know, all that's missing is a small chrome skull on the front end with lighted red eyes and this FJR has 'Warchild' written all over it.

This is somewhat consistent with some low-level rumblings I have heard out of Cypress..... about a heavily re-worked Gen III in 2010......

LOL! Bold new colors :yahoo: ...oh, wait. :glare:
Black with black wheels doesn't work for me.
Here's hoping for a new FJR in '10. I hope this bike doesn't go the way of the Vmax and Connie...unchanged for 20 odd years.
Edit: They hit the R1 with the ugly stick. That used to be a beautiful bike. :blink:
