Every freeway trip.
First, I have no idea what he's talking about. I wear mittens. Or maybe my fast-red FJR is just faster at cruise-set 82 mph than his 2013 cruise-set 82 mph FJR. I'd blame my weight advantage, but I'm clearly losing that battle.I have owned my 13 for almost 3 years and logged about 91K with the 80mph cruise limit. Overall I did not miss higher limits. I kept rationalizing that it kept me in check. The were only a few times I really wished I had a higher limit...Out west in ND/SD/MO and riding locally with my buddy Deagle.
Be forewarned if you have a local riding buddy with a later Gen 3, they know the limitations of the 13. There is a good chance that they will take the lead, set their cruise at 83MPH and ride with their right middle finger flowing in in the wind for you to see.
It's not the end of the world but the fix is easy. Keep an eye on ebay for a 14/15 FJR A ecu. I scored one for $80 last summer and it was a 10 min plug and play. Works perfect and increase the cruise limit. Alternative you could pay $500 OEM prices if it is that much of an issue for you.
^^^ You would have too.80 is plenty fast for auto - cruise for me. I might feel differently if I lived out west.
Exact problem I had with my riding buddy with his BMW K1600GT and my old '13A FJR--he would purposely set his CC at slightly above my limit just to jack with me. I kept the bike a couple of years and then traded it on a '16ES--absolutely hated the '13's CC limit and also wanted the electronic suspension which I immediately had buyer's remorse for when it was introduced on the '14's.Be forewarned if you have a local riding buddy with a later Gen 3, they know the limitations of the 13.

There ya go Beary, buy the '13 'n if'n you need ta cruise faster, get the newer cruise module.All the time in central Kali.. Even bought the 2014 module for my 2013.
If you match up the A models or the ES models they should be good to go.Is there any risk putting a 14/15 module in the 13?
