New to the FJR community

[Thomas Mueller]

Just picked up a 2007 FJR1300A about a month and a half ago. I am from Nampa, Idaho. Looking forward to meeting people in the community. Preparing for a trip to Grand Teton and then into South Dakota end of August. Absolutely love this bike. Purchased here in Meridian, Idaho with just over 17,000 miles. Runs very well with 0 issues.

Just picked up a 2007 FJR1300A about a month and a half ago.

Are you sure it is a 2007 (and an "A" model?) In North America, the 2007 "A" model was Black Cherry color.
The bike in your photo is clearly a Gen II but appears to be "Liquid Silver". This would apply to the 2010 and 2011 "A" models.

The '07 AE (auto-clutch) was Cerulean Silver. So was the '06 AE. The '08 and '09 AE were Liquid Silver...
(Correction: Titanium Metallic or Granite Gray, depending on the source for the description)

Not 100% sure I could tell the difference between the two silver colors (Cerulian and Liquid) in a photo - depends on the lighting. That LOOKS like the brighter Liquid Silver ('10,'11) but couldn't say for sure. Could definitely tell with the two together.

Welcome from New Brunswick, Canada.

Does your bike have a clutch lever?

The 08 AE is a shade darker; Granite Gray

The 08 AE is a shade darker; Granite Gray

I was going by the "Comparison Matrix" which says "Metallic Titanium/Liquid Silver #". Not sure if I have seen one in the wild - just the '06 and '07.
Color Rite lists it as
Yamaha 1086 Dark Gray Metallic G (DNMG) / Granite Gray

 

[fastpappy]

09 AE is Titanium Metallic. See my Avatar.

 

[RossKean]

09 AE is Titanium Metallic. See my Avatar.

I saw the "Liquid Silver" part of the description in the comparison matrix and thought it would be more silver than that. Whatever the color is in the original photo, it isn't the '08/'09 Titanium Metallic (or "Yamaha 1086 Dark Gray Metallic G (DNMG) / Granite Gray" as described by ColorRite).

I stand corrected It must be an AE Just not that Savy on these bikes as I am new to it. There is no clutch lever. It does have foot shifting as well as button shifting next to the left grip. The title says 2007 FJR1300

Yes, that would make it an "AE" model and explains the silver paint.
