Deep, smooth power that sends you down the road
like a flat rock skimming a smooth lake, a perfectly tuned chassis that snaps solidly into corners and hangs onto the line you choose, powerful brakes with advanced ABS that brings you to a confident stop in all kinds of weather. A light-and-rigid aluminum frame, sportbike running gear and standard hard sidebags go beautifully together. Pushbutton adjustable windscreen and a thick comfy seat for two are perfect for comfortable, long-distance riding. The
world’s first supersport touring bike boasts standard ABS and adjustable ergonomics—that widen the gap between it and common sport tourers to a gaping chasm. Advanced air management system and adjustable bodywork keep the FJR rider looking and feeling cool. Instrument panel contains an electronic analog speedometer and tachometer; LCD digital odometer, dual tripmeters, gear position indicator, fuel, coolant and air temperature gauges, and clock; lights for
neutral, high beam, turn signals, low oil and engine warnings—as well as real-time mileage, average mileage and air temperature. Compact, lightweight 1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine delivers power and torque for an unequaled spread of muscle over a wide rpm range. Engine is a fully stressed chassis member, allowing for a lightweight frame design. Curved radiator with custom ducting and twin-ring cooling fans help keep
engine and cockpit cool. Slant-block engine design uses stacked, tri-axis gearbox shafts that help minimize powerplant size while optimizing chassis geometry for balanced weight distribution and great handling. Lightweight forged pistons with carburized connecting rods provide superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass for outstanding high-rpm durability and performance. Patented electroplated ceramic composite cylinder bores ensure greater heat dissipation and
thus reduced frictional power loss. Advanced fuel injection system is ideal for long-distance supersport-touring, delivering crisp, seamless throttle response in a variety of altitude/weather conditions. Gearshift shaft features a needle-roller bearing to reduce friction for silky-smooth shifting. Shaft final drive system is super-durable and virtually maintenance-free. Low-vibration crankshaft with two gear-driven secondary counterbalancers help deliver a
glass-smooth ride with reduced rider/passenger fatigue. Constant-mesh 5-speed transmission utilizes wide ratios to deliver relaxed long-distance touring performance combined with seamless power and acceleration. Four-into-one-into-two stainless-steel exhaust optimizes engine performance across the powerband. Wet-sump oil system uses an easy-access cartridge-type oil filter mounted on the engine’s left side. Sharp-looking bodywork and
air-management system keep the bike and rider cooler; a central vent beneath the instrument panel cools the rider and reduces negative pressure for less buffeting, and fairing side panels with 1.2-inch adjustability let the rider direct airflow. Adjustable ergonomics: the seat can be adjusted up or down by nearly an inch, and handlebar pullback angle is three-position adjustable over a half-inch range. Long swingarm provides even better ride and handling characteristics, and
rear spring preload adjustment is a snap. Standard equipment Unified Braking System w/ABS: The front brake lever activates six of the eight front braking pistons; the rear brake pedal activates two rear pistons and the other two front pistons—provides balanced anti-lock braking in all conditions. Ergonomically shaped, large-capacity, 6.6-gallon fuel tank offers excellent comfort and range and is constructed of steel allowing for the use of magnetic tankbags. Rear
frame with integrated grab handle makes lifting the bike onto the centerstand a snap. |
