I owned an '07 FJR 1300 and loved that bike. Bought it brand new and sold it in '13. Took an 8yr hiatus from owning a motorcycle. In '21 I bought a brand new Harley Davidson Sport Glide. Two very different bikes but both are amazing. Definitely less maintenance with the FJR.
Ya I have ridden a few Harley’s in my day. They are night and day different. Both have their pros and cons. But I bought the Fjr for its capability and reliability! Cheers!
Great video. Why did you buy this bike over the Tracer 9? I'm waiting to see if they update the FJR 1300 like they did for the tracer 9 2025. I sold my BMW r1250rt because the maintenance was insane. I rather get the Yamaha.
@ in the end other then nav. Maybe a quick shifter what could you really do to make this bike better. Well we have aftermarket for both those nice to haves
@@bigair0176 they are coming out with the Y-AMT for the tracer so I'm hoping they will redo the FJR for 2025. I know that that BMW and Yamaha coming out with a DCT type transmission.
Now I can do it for myself. Since Covid my dealer in PA got crazy prices
Ya not fair sometimes what they can charge

Take the lower fairing bolt out and put a piece of tinfoil over it, then take your filter off, i also changed the diff oil the same day 200 ml
Aweseome tip...thanks for watching Cheers!
Yep, you can also put foil up and under the filter prior to removing same, shape it so if any oil comes out, you can direct it to the container.
Thankyou
Well done
Enjoy your beautiful bike
Australia

@bigair0176, I'm requesting two videos 1 is a test drive w/NEW 2024 Yamaha FJR 1300 and 2 is a concept Car please?

Didn’t want half adventure half street. Wanted the hp from 1300. Wanted comfort room for wife and many other reasons but basically the jist of it.
@@bigair0176 I understand. You think they will come out with a new version for the states? I would get the FJR if they updated it

Nice looking bike, that would be the color i would pick also. So, you are not doing the rear gear oil at 600 miles ?
It was the only Color hehe. I will do the rear gear oil over the winter! Cheers!
Great video M! Good to see that you got a real bike, should have gotten a Hayabusa.... then crashed it like I did... lol. I keed I keed!
Hey buddy. Hope all is well! Long time since I have seen ya. Cheers!
I have had excellent luck with Valvoline motorcycle oil. Buy at Walmart, lots cheaper.
@@baccaratpro6447 nice. Thx for the info. Cheers
I can save you more money, oil MOTUL 7100 10W-40 Amazon 4 litre jug, Oil filter HIFLOFILTRO HF 204
I use the same oil in my WR250R. Figured I would use the oil suggested by Yamaha for first oil change.
