Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a large, heavy sport-tourer at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt primarily for high-speed, long-distance touring with strong shaft-driven torque and all-day comfort rather than outright sportbike thrills.
Rider FitAt nearly 291kg wet with a tall seat height, shorter or less physically confident riders may find slow-speed maneuvering and parking a workout.
CharacterA refined, torque-rich mile-muncher that rewards smooth, confident riding with effortless highway cruising and strong shaft-drive reliability.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight city commuting or off-road exploration.

2014 Yamaha FJR1300ES Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Yamaha FJR1300ES, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH Dec 2020 · 20V814000

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA (Yamaha) is recalling certain 2018-2020 MTT9GT (Tracer GT), 2019 MXTGTKL (NIKEN GT), 2017-2020 MT10, 2018-2020 XTZ12 (Super Ténéré), 2013-2020 FJR13, 2018 XV19B (Star Eluder), and 2018-2021 XV19 (Star Venture) motorcycles. The front brake switch can fail due to increased resistance from silicon oxide.

Risk: Failure of the front brake switch can cause the brake light to stay on constantly and/or the cruise control system to shutoff unexpectedly. Both situations increases the risk of a crash.
