Hmm, maybe time to upgrade from my '03.

Intro
After a near standstill since the arrival of the technical model AS in 2006, the Yamaha FJR 1300, launched in 2001 its first version, finally gets a change more profound than in 2013. If the general base, engine and chassis is resumed, many things change. A new generation of Yamaha FJR 1300 which should allow the manufacturer to return at the forefront of the GT category. Certainly, the brand with tuning forks never squandered away the competition, but brands like Kawasaki GTR 1400 with, but mostly BMW took a step ahead in technology. Also, having succeeded in imposing his Yamaha FJR 1300 in the administrative market doubled from a business career quite remarkable, Yamaha is strengthening its offensive on its flagship GT 2013. Detail it.
Energized line, protection refined
The aesthetic gains a new more dynamic fairing. Yamaha FJR 1300 2013 model appears more slender, with a rear refined. The front part always seems so "fleshy", but the whole exudes a strong sense of renewal. The fairing has been re designed to enhance the protection, either for the upper body such as the feet. The bubble, completely re-designed features new vents that are designed to reduce turbulence often suffered GT, especially when the windshield is adjusted to its highest point. With a new mechanism, electric windshield back twice as fast as its predecessor with. The headlights are now equipped with LEDs, as well as indicators. Sitting at the controls of the new Yamaha FJR 1300, the driver discovers a whole new world: new stalks and dashboard multifunction three screens. There regain speed, engine speed, time, level of gasoline ... as well as information about new vehicle technologies.
To build a new electronic approval
Rather than designing a brand new motor - transmission, Yamaha has chosen to capitalize on its expertise and technologies already mastered a choice shy? Rather a wise choice that should benefit reliability. Thus, the throttle gains control electronic expensive Yamaha. The YCC-T Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle, can gain flexibility. The accelerator control central unit which continuously analyzes the action on the throttle and control the injection his way to deliver power. The YCC-T also allows you to control consumption. The performance gain to 2.7 ch. The arrival of the YCC-T has added traction control (TCS), disconnectable necessary, as well as the D-mode or different engine maps to choose from. Via a stalk, it is possible to switch from T (Tourism) Mode S (Sport), to enjoy a more or less dynamic engine. All these innovations are already in the catalog of Yamaha motorcycles like the Super Ténéré XTZ 1200 or the Yamaha YZF R1.
Electronic suspension reserved for FJR 1300 AS 2013
Significant on a GT, cruise control appeared in control of the new Yamaha FJR 1300 2013 whose engine has been reworked. The cylinder block is new, and it enjoys a veneer ceramics for better heat dissipation. The throttle bodies have been re drawn while the exhaust has been redesigned and has included two catalysts instead of four. Yamaha has chosen to continue the experiment on his FJR AS, version with a clutch electronic assistance. The YCC-S (Yamaha Chip Controlled Shift) can shift gears without using the clutch lever or selector. Yamaha announced that it has significantly refined its operation in 2013, with a more instinctive handling and faster. Also, you can choose to change gear selector on the handlebar or without pre-select their choice as before.
The new "Stop Mode" causes the downshift of the first moto until automatically when it reaches a low speed. But the Yamaha FJR 1300 AS 2013 also has other singularities. It has an inverted fork with hydraulic settings are distributed within each sleeve (compression left trigger right) as the Yamaha YZF R1. But the Yamaha FJR 1300 AS also has an electronic control system of the suspensions. Via the left stalk, it is possible to select the following settings: solo, solo with luggage, duo, duet with luggage, then, via sub menus, it will be possible to refine these first four settings by a soft mode, standard or hard. There's something for everyone!
Thus equipped, the new Yamaha FJR 1300 AS creates a gap therefore a technological point of view with the standard FJR 1300 A, and this should also be reflected in the sale price, even if the fee schedules are still kept secret
