Just picked up a 2013 Stone Gray. 17K on the odometer. Previous owner was meticulous with the bike.
Came with a Givi V47 monokey trunk, insert bag never used.
Original FJR OEM cover - never used
Original FJR side bags inserts - never used.
Aftermarket cover to accommodate the trunk.

Come from a third time owner of Connie14s, and love how much more nimble this bike feels.

It's listed as an FJR1300AC - still trying to find out anything I can about that "C". So far, nothing.

Cheers.
 
I believe that the "C" is the designation for a bike imported for the California market. The only significant difference is a charcoal cannister for trapping fugitive hydrocarbon emissions from the tank vent. The cannister lives behind the lower "triangle" behind the front wheel (below the radiator) and there should be a drain hose from the cannister coming out of a hole where the lower halves of the front cowling join. (I don't see the vent hose in your photo.)

This parts fiche shows the main differences in the tank plumbing.

Note: Many owners removed (or disconnected) the cannister because it sometimes caused problems with initial running if the bike was parked in direct sun. Fuel vapors saturate the cannister and when started, air drawn through the charcoal may result in VERY rich running for several minutes.

I am assuming that the "C" is the California designation. (If I am wrong, disregard the above) Look at the parts fiche and see if you have the cannister and associated plumbing - section blocked of saying "FOR CAL". If you have it and it is not disconnected, make sure that the drain hose isn't blocked, kinked or tucked up inside the fairing.

Note: California models were sometimes sold in jurisdictions other than California. I bought my California bike (used) from a guy in Connecticut who bought it from a local dealer.
 
That fiche images is awesome. I also see they have a roll over valve in line. Luckily I see no sensors involved. Yea, the canister will be coming off. Thanks!
 
Does yours have the vent/drain hose coming out the bottom at the front of the bike (below the canister)?

Oh, welcome to the forum...
 
Got my 2013 used w/3k. Now at 58k and not a missed step!

Contact Ivan for a flash/and unlimited CC. Gets you a 3rd drive mode too!
 
Hmmmmmmm......now I have to dig into the bike. I average 51.6 to 51.9 mpg. His site says 51+ mpg.
And I LOVE how my bike responds, even in tour mode.
Wonder if it is tuned already. I bought the bike from an older guy that had it for a couple of years, and at age 72, was hanging it up. Doubt he did any tuning to it. (could be wrong.)
But I do not have a third mode... so it might not be Ivan tuned, could be a power commander under the seat. Bike seems completely stock though.
I will have to see if I can set the cruise above 80. Might be a good quick indicator.


??? who knows.
