Precision Operation: Yamaha FJR13ESE(C) (2013) Owner's Manual

Yamaha FJR1300ES (FJR13ESE/C) Owner's Manual - 2013/2014 Edition

This technical guide provides the operational foundation for Yamaha's advanced sport-touring platform, detailing the integration of electronic adjustment systems with high-output mechanical components. A critical reliability factor identified is the requirement for Yamaha genuine shaft drive gear oil exclusive to FJR1300/VMAX, which is specifically engineered to handle the unique shear loads of the final drive unit to prevent premature gear wear and ensure long-term drivetrain integrity.

Technical Applicability & Model Variants

• Yamaha FJR1300ES Series (Electronic Suspension)
  • FJR13ESE (Standard US Configuration)
  • FJR13ESEC (California-Specific Emissions Configuration)

System Architecture & Operational Benefits

• D-Mode Propulsion Control: Implementation of Touring (T) and Sports (S) mapping allows for instant modulation of throttle response to suit transcontinental cruising or aggressive cornering.
• Unified Braking Integration: The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) operates in tandem with a unified pedal-to-lever linkage, distributing hydraulic pressure between front and rear calipers for maximized chassis stability under heavy deceleration.
• Electronic Suspension Management: Centralized control of rear shock preload and 21 distinct damping levels (Hard, Standard, Soft with +/- 3 micro-adjustments) ensures optimal geometry regardless of payload.
