FJR1300 Crash Damage Repair Of Common Parts
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- There are typical damage spots for a Yamaha FJR1300 when you crash or drop it like I did. Of course every situation will be different, but this covers some of the very common points. The windscreen, mirror, saddlebag, barend and the Stator cover will be coming in a separate video since that is done for other reasons as well and I didn't want people to have to sit through a chunk of video they didn't need.

Brian.. I saw your Blue Ridge trip which started me on your channel. That trip prepared me so much for long trips. This past spring I traded in a Vstar 950 for an new 2016 FJR. Best decision I ever made. The very first thing I did was put on Canyon Cages so I would't do the same thing you did. This past August we took a trip to cover all the great roads in the mountain area. One of the trips was going several miles from Cherokee up the Blue Ridge Parkway. On the way back my son decided to stop and take a picture at a pull-off. He was in front and braked hard but missed the first entry. So we were going slow to the second entry which was a hard right. He mis-judged the turn and stopped to keep from going over the curb. Being slow and hard over right I lost all momentum and did the exact same thing you did. BUT.... The cages performed perfectly and only got a small scratch on the back cage protecting the luggage. So needless to say, I think you saved me over $600 in repairs plus the cages paid for themselves. I owe you a couple of beers if we ever meet. Keep creating the great videos.
LOL glad it came out relatively OK!
I thought just fixing it all and quick spray would be good enough but doing it properly makes it look like new again.
Good luck mate.
Bryan, I dropped my FJR doing the same thing, turning on a slope! I was so pissed at myself! I am built like you and I could not hold up the weight of the bike. Bam, down we went.
I had frame sliders and bag cages attached.
My bags were not damaged, but my left mirror took the brunt of the fall. Some minor fairing scratches I could live with, but he mirror had to be replaced. Lesson well learned!
+Shawn Kuse So I had no sliders and no fairing damage, you had sliders and had fairing damage - so much for all those telling me I should have had sliders ;) I know that pissed feeling lol!
Brian. Awesome videos. I have learned much from your 'repairs.' My FJR is a 2013. I replaced the upper fairing from rock off of a truck damage, lower right fairing, mirror, and right side hard case (cover only). The hard case covers are easy. 4 metric pop rivets, which I ordered from Yamaha as I couldn't find them here in Seattle. It is an easy change.
It's a little more expensive for yours, but it was less than an $80 difference for mine, getting the lid and rivets vs just a whole new unit ready to go. Not worth it to me considering the hinges also take a slight hit.
I understand. I was thinking of buying the whole side case, yet I had a green moment. Carbon footprint, etc. That is really weird coming from a guy born and raised in New Jersey. :)
I was thinking about all the various parts you just replaced, but think it would be interesting to keep a running list of the various items, costs and vendors over the years. again thank you for sharing your experience. ..I'm loving my 2015 FJR bought in August and your videos are very informative.
I just subbed to your channel I really like your content I can honestly say that I am subbed to a lot of motorcycle channels and I spent about 3 hours watching your videos I think you're going to become one of my favorites. Cheers.
+the8jrfan Thanks for watching!
@TwoWheelObsession, you say in the video that installing sliders would not help prevent damage. Are you talking about that accessory you can buy from Yamaha? I installed T-rex racing protection on my FJR from 2013 last week (live in Sweden, Europe). I did a test and dropped it to the ground. No damage what so ever on the bike, maybe some on the protection (engine and luggage covers) and if any, it is easy to fix with some black paint. I think the best protection you can buy right now is from T-rex or Canyon cages from MC enterprises, why not buy and add a video where you install them? Do not have your email but I can send picture to you if you want on my install. Only downside on the T-rex I can think of is some worse foot room for passagers when using luggage protection. Also I think they integrate well with the look of the bike so no big problem when it comes to looks either. They cost about 200 dollars so not much, and then you do not have to worry about this happening again in the future.
Did you cover how to replace the saddlebag reflector? How to remove and replace....
Always easy on the ears and very helpful tips ....Thanks a lot !
I’ve been rear ended on my Fjr 1300. I’m saw . I had all my gears on .. Tail lights , license plate light, mud flap and the rear fairing or mount that houses on that is cracked . How can you replace all that . Can you do a video on it?
I am in the midst of reassembling the left mirror of my FJR. And I am stuck. When I reassemble the mirror as shown in the video, the underside of the mirror scrapes the upperside of the part with he big washer on it. Shouldn't there be small bearing balls in the pits of the biggest washer? If so, how big should they be, how much and where?
Thanks for sharing your repair expertise with us.
Hi, where did you buy the windscreen? I am thinking to replace mine as well . BTW, does it fit the 2023 ES model Thanks.
hi i had small fall on site and its looks like i damage bottom part of mirrow like its moving inside the bike so do you have vid of taking the whole front cover of bike to get to that part??
Man, that sucks, even zero speed crashes add up! Glad you're okay though, easy to hurt an ankle or a knee. Maybe make a top box out of the extra saddlebox?
Hello. Where do you buy spare parts? in megazype
I like your videos but man... if you use your bike, even because of the gravel or something like that your bike is always going to have some small stetic issues.
If the parts aren't damaged i would just repaint them and i would save that money. You never know when you're going to fall again and you're just wasting it.
Otherwise nice explanation on how to install all the parts.
Gran vídeo, y buenos cursillos no estás mostrando sobre la FJR . Gracias!!
Why not keep all of those parts for until your sell it? You could fall again and non of those things affect the functionality of the bike.
Yep I agree that's the deal with bikes, something is bound to happen again, you can't have it perfect if your gong to ride
+TwoWheelObsession , Have you thought about recycling all the plastic and metal? I am going to do a video soon about the cost that I will have to face to replace when I dropped mine over a year ago.
"Only USD530 for the pannier"... that's almost ZAR8,000 in South African terms, or approximately 670 liters of petrol (gas)! In the 80s I repaired the panniers on my GL500 Silver Wing, they looked as good as new. The Silver Wing was incredibly top heavy, once it tipped past a certain point there was no holding it. Send the pannier my way, I'll fix it. :)
Have you ever had a problem with the screen motor??
Great details on repairs etc
Sounds like the normal insurance deal, they hand out the umbrellas & take them back when it looks like rain. Brian, you should do a video on insurance. I took fully comprehensive insurance no deductible no insurance hike if I have a claim, the price difference was $100 per year. That's in France, it might be different in the States.
Very different. Don’t compare things in other countries.
I love your videos,thanks. Now,let me show and the rest of the guys ,how to make a u turn like the one you tried.well,what you have to do is make a u turn in reverse ,that way you dont deal with the wieght of the bike,it Goes by it self,so you only have to deal with the direcciones of the bike,it will put you in front of the road automaticly.try and let me know.thanks again for your videos!
Great videos! Can you share who you buy your parts from?
Depends on the part. Google for what you need and compare prices
+TwoWheelObsession Bryan, in regards to the parts, you said in the crash video that you were going to be looking at the filches for the part numbers, etc. Can you share with us where you get that data from?
l live less than an hour from hillsville, l wish l could have been able to help you. I'm sorry that you had a rough trip. Did your insurance cover the damage?
+Dwight Mcclure It would have but for such a low cost fall I'd rather eat the few hundred over the deductible and not have a higher rate.
Never try turning on a hill with a heavy bike ..... It often leads to a tumble ....
I understand why you replaced the parts. Every time you get on the bike you will notice it & give you the sh*ts. Done the same to clear my head, thous little things you can see but no one else will notice
Exactly.
is your camera trying to record in 3d?
things are x2
+Zraupp10 huh?
TwoWheelObsession it was showing two of a few things, like your cell phone holder ..
+Zraupp10 It's you man. No idea.
U should use the bags and learn how to spray your own paint would save you some money for the future
Let me know or post it anyone because my windscreen won’t go up and down anymore I checked power and fuses
Anyone know if the rear shock on this bike is re-buildable? Can't find a new one in the UK but I nearly died when I saw it in the US for $2500 !! (2014 model ES)
No. That being said no one has yet needed to.
Ohh lucky me. I live in Fenlands (flatland on ancient peat) and the roads are so undulating its like being at sea!! Found someone to re-build for £480..... ;-)
Just a comment I've had better luck with JB Weld of all things on plastic repairs as opposed to products which were labeled for plastic repairs. It could have just been the particular plastics I worked with though. YMMV
As far as I know red locktite requires heat to remove the bolt in the future.
+Steven Horbal No, but it can help.
How does it work with your insurance company?
If you want to go through insurance and make a claim you take it to a dealer for an estimate. You pay the deductible and get it fixed, then your rates go up. This wasn’t that expensive so I just paid cash and did it myself so no change.
Crash Bars. Mine paid for themselves the day after I installed them.
Luckily everyone can make their bike however they like. I think they are ugly and would rather just replace parts when needed than have to look at them every day.
Windshield has plastic screws holding it on made to snap off!!
You must have a lot of money. Why not patch and repaint the scuffed parts?
Just seen your video, maybe in the future if anything similar for the plastics and it looks cosmetically ok, use plastex to repair it, quite simple to do and ends up been stronger than the original plastic (th-cam.com/video/oZHP6fE-BNU/w-d-xo.html), I've used it for about 5 years now and its fixed a lot of the plastics i get when rebuilding a bike.
Been watching your videos for a while on info about the FJR1300 as seriously considering getting one some day, keep up the good work.
Why mess with that stator cover? Seems like a lot of work can't even tell it was damaged.. Just my opinion I guess
Nothing worse than having your pride and joy go down. Personally i wouldn't bother to replace the scratched parts wear them proudly as battle scars. Ride safe buddy.
You just need to learn how to "weld" plastic using PVC pipe cement, which will "melt" a broken piece to it's source, stronger than original... Works great and a lot cheaper than new parts, especially if you have a vintage bike where the parts are not available...😁
On my Honda Silverwing scooter I used ABS cement to repair broken tabs.. Ugly but great for underside repairs of tabs an other mount points that are not visible. A lot of bike plastic is ABS. You want the ABS only cement if possible.
Det der er noget gylle 🥴🥴👎👎👎
