AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT  
UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING  
TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EX-  
PERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EV-  
ERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW  
THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS  
BEFORE RIDING THIS MOTOR-  
CYCLE.

G Many accidents involve inexperi-  
enced operators. In fact, many op-  
erators who have been involved in  
accidents do not even have a cur-  
rent motorcycle license.  
Safe riding  
G Always  
make  
pre-operation  
checks. Careful checks may help  
prevent an accident.  
G This motorcycle is designed to car-  
ry the operator and a passenger.  
G The failure of motorists to detect  
and recognize motorcycles in traf-  
fic is the predominating cause of  
automobile/motorcycle accidents.  
Many accidents have been caused  
by an automobile driver who did  
not see the motorcycle. Making  
yourself conspicuous appears to  
be very effective in reducing the  
chance of this type of accident.  
Therefore:  
Make sure that you are qualified  
and that you only lend your  
motorcycle to other qualified op-  
erators.  
Know your skills and limits.  
Staying within your limits may  
help you to avoid an accident.  
We recommend that you prac-  
tice riding your motorcycle  
where there is no traffic until you  
have become thoroughly famil-  
iar with the motorcycle and all of  
its controls.

The total weight of the operator, pas-

Accessories  
Accessories fitted to the handle-  
bar or the front fork area can  
create instability due to improper  
weight distribution or aerody-  
namic changes. If accessories  
are added to the handlebar or  
front fork area, they must be as  
lightweight as possible and  
should be kept to a minimum.  
Bulky or large accessories may  
seriously affect the stability of  
the motorcycle due to aerody-  
namic effects. Wind may at-  
tempt to lift the motorcycle, or  
the motorcycle may become un-  
stable in cross winds. These ac-  
cessories may also cause  
instability when passing or being  
passed by large vehicles.  
Genuine Yamaha accessories have  
been specifically designed for use on  
this motorcycle. Since Yamaha cannot  
test all other accessories that may be  
available, you must personally be re-  
sponsible for the proper selection, in-  
stallation and use of non-Yamaha  
accessories. Use extreme caution  
when selecting and installing any ac-  
cessories.  
Keep the following guidelines in mind,  
as well as those provided under Load-  
ingwhen mounting accessories.  
G Never install accessories or carry  
cargo that would impair the perfor-  
mance of your motorcycle. Care-  
fully inspect the accessory before  
using it to make sure that it does  
not in any way reduce ground  
clearance or cornering clearance,  
Maximum load:  
FJR1300AEX 208 kg (459 lb)  
FJR1300AEXC 207 kg (456 lb)  
When loading within this weight limit,  
keep the following in mind:  
G Cargo and accessory weight  
should be kept as low and close to  
the motorcycle as possible. Make  
sure to distribute the weight as  
evenly as possible on both sides of  
the motorcycle to minimize imbal-  
ance or instability.  
G Shifting weights can create a sud-  
den imbalance. Make sure that ac-  
cessories and cargo are securely  
attached to the motorcycle before  
riding. Check accessory mounts  
and cargo restraints frequently.  
G Never attach any large or heavy  
items to the handlebar, front fork,  
or front fender. These items, in-  
cluding such cargo as sleeping

leaving the motorcycle unattended  
and remove the key from the main  
switch. When parking the motor-  
cycle, note the following:  
The engine and exhaust system  
may be hot, therefore, park the  
motorcycle in a place where pe-  
destrians or children are not like-  
ly to touch these hot areas.

G Use caution when adding electri-  
cal accessories. If electrical acces-  
sories exceed the capacity of the  
motorcycles electrical system, an  
electric failure could result, which  
could cause a dangerous loss of  
lights or engine power.  
Do not park the motorcycle on a  
slope or soft ground, otherwise it  
may fall over.  
Do not park the motorcycle near  
a flammable source, (e.g., a ker-  
osene heater, or near an open  
flame), otherwise it could catch  
fire.  
Gasoline and exhaust gas  
G GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-  
BLE:  
Always turn the engine off when  
refueling.  
Take care not to spill any gaso-  
line on the engine or exhaust  
system when refueling.  
G When transporting the motorcycle  
in another vehicle, make sure that  
it is kept upright. If the motorcycle  
should lean over, gasoline may  
leak out of the fuel tank.  
G If you should swallow any gaso-  
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,  
or allow gasoline to get into your  
eyes, see your doctor immediately.  
If any gasoline spills on your skin  
Never refuel while smoking or in  
the vicinity of an open flame.  
G Never start the engine or let it run  
for any length of time in a closed  
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-  
sonous and may cause loss of  
consciousness and death within a  
short time. Always operate your  
motorcycle in an area that has ad-  
equate ventilation.

Main switch/steering lock EAU10460  
NOTE:  
YCC-S system  
This is not an automatic transmission,  
only the clutch system is automatic.  
The gears must be shifted by the rider.  
This vehicle features the YCC-S  
(Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift) sys-  
tem.  
The basic function of this system allows  
the rider to shift gears without the use of  
a clutch lever. Furthermore, a shift lever  
is equipped on the handlebar, allowing  
the rider to choose to shift gears either  
with the shift pedal or by hand.  
3
When the engine is started and the shift  
pedal or the shift lever is moved, a sig-  
nal is sent to the MCU (Motor Control  
Unit) which disengages the clutch, then  
the shift is made. The MCU engages  
the clutch once the engine is running at  
the proper speed. Clutch engagement  
is controlled optimally by the MCU ac-  
cording to engine r/min, engine require-  
ments, and riding conditions. See  
Handlebar switches(page 3-10) and  
The main switch/steering lock controls  
the ignition and lighting systems, and is  
used to lock the steering. The various  
positions are described below.

an electrical circuit monitoring the en-  
gine is defective. When this occurs,  
have a Yamaha dealer check the self-  
diagnosis system. (See page 3-9 for an  
explanation of the self-diagnosis de-  
vice.)  
NOTE:  
Stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so,  
and park it away from traffic. Have a  
Yamaha dealer check the YCC-S.  
Even if the oil level is sufficient, the  
warning light may flicker when riding on  
a slope or during sudden acceleration  
or deceleration, but this is not a mal-  
function.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS  
EAU15593  
The condition of a vehicle is the owners responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,  
even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss  
of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-  
tion, to check the following points before each ride.  
NOTE:  
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very short  
time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

Starting the engine  
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off  
system to enable starting, one of the  
following conditions must be met:  
G The front or rear brake is applied  
with the transmission in the neutral  
position whether the sidestand is  
up or down.  
NOTE:  
WARNING  
This model is equipped with a lean an-  
gle sensor to stop the engine in case of  
a turnover. To start the engine after a  
turnover, be sure to turn the main  
switch to OFFand then to ON. Fail-  
ing to do so will prevent the engine from  
starting even though the engine will  
crank when pushing the start switch.  
G Become thoroughly familiar  
with all operating controls and  
their functions before riding.  
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-  
garding any control or function  
that you do not thoroughly un-  
derstand.  
G Never start the engine or oper-  
ate it in a closed area for any  
length of time. Exhaust fumes  
are poisonous, and inhaling  
them can cause loss of con-  
sciousness and death within a  
short time. Always make sure  
that there is adequate ventila-  
tion.  
G Before starting out, make sure  
that the sidestand is up. If the  
sidestand is not raised com-  
pletely, it could contact the  
ground and distract the opera-  
tor, resulting in a possible loss  
of control.  
G The front or rear brake is applied  
with the transmission in gear and  
the sidestand is up.  
EWA14540

cording to the procedure  
described on page 3-27.  
G Always apply the front or rear  
brake while the main switch is in  
the ONposition and the trans-  
mission is in gear, otherwise the  
rear wheel will move freely.  
G Never ride with the sidestand

gine, transmission, and drive  
train, which are not designed to  
withstand the shock of forced  
shifting.  
5. Shift into second gear and release  
the shift pedal.  
6. Open the throttle gradually.  
7. Follow the same procedure when  
shifting to the next higher gear.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR  
Checking the spark plugsEAU19642  
The spark plugs are important engine  
components, which should be checked  
periodically, preferably by a Yamaha  
dealer. Since heat and deposits will  
cause any spark plug to slowly erode,  
they should be removed and checked  
in accordance with the periodic mainte-  
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,  
the condition of the spark plugs can re-  
veal the condition of the engine.  
To install the panel  
1. Place the panel in the original posi-  
tion, and then install the bolts and  
the quick fastener screws.  
1. Panel B  
2. Bolt  
3. Quick fastener screw  
The porcelain insulator around the cen-  
ter electrode of each spark plug should  
be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color  
when the vehicle is ridden normally),  
and all spark plugs installed in the en-  
gine should have the same color. If any  
spark plug shows a distinctly different  
color, the engine could be operating im-  
properly. Do not attempt to diagnose  
such problems yourself. Instead, have  
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.  
If a spark plug shows signs of electrode  
erosion and excessive carbon or other  
deposits, it should be replaced.

Before riding, check that the brake fluid

Check each rear brake pad for damage  
and measure the lining thickness. If a  
brake pad is damaged or if the lining

Be sure to return the diaphragms

Changing the brake and  
YCC-S clutch fluids  
Have a Yamaha dealer change the  
brake and YCC-S clutch fluids at the in-  
tervals specified in the NOTE after the  
periodic maintenance and lubrication  
chart. In addition, have the oil seals of  
the brake and YCC-S clutch master cyl-  
inders and calipers as well as the brake  
and YCC-S clutch hoses replaced at  
the intervals listed below or whenever  
they are damaged or leaking.  
G Be careful that water or dust does  
not enter the brake and YCC-S  
clutch fluid reservoirs when refill-  
ing. Water will significantly lower  
the boiling point of the fluid and  
may result in vapor lock, and dirt  
may clog the ABS hydraulic unit  
valves.  
G Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-  
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-  
ways clean up spilled fluid  
immediately.  
G As the brake pads wear, it is nor-  
mal for the brake fluid level to grad-  
ually go down. However, if the  
brake fluid level goes down sud-  
denly, have a Yamaha dealer  
check the cause.  
Observe these precautions:  
G When checking the fluid level,  
make sure that the top of the brake  
and YCC-S clutch fluid reservoirs  
are level.  
G Use only the recommended quality  
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber  
seals may deteriorate, causing  
leakage and poor braking or  
YCC-S clutch performance.  
G Oil seals: Replace every two  
years.  
G Brake and YCC-S clutch hoses:  
Replace every four years.  
Recommended brake and YCC-S  
clutch fluid:  
DOT 4 brake fluid  
6
G Refill with the same type of brake  
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a  
harmful chemical reaction and  
lead to poor braking or YCC-S  
clutch performance.  
G The brake and YCC-S clutch fluid  
reservoir diaphragms will lose their  
shape from the negative pressure  
if the fluid level goes down too far.

Troubleshooting  
Although Yamaha motorcycles receive  
a thorough inspection before shipment  
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-  
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,  
compression, or ignition systems, for  
example, can cause poor starting and  
loss of power.  
The following troubleshooting charts  
represent quick and easy procedures  
for checking these vital systems your-  
self. However, should your motorcycle  
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha  
dealer, whose skilled technicians have  
the necessary tools, experience, and  
know-how to service the motorcycle  
properly.  
6
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-  
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like  
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-  
or, have a shorter service life and can  
lead to expensive repair bills.

Engine overheating  
WARNING  
EWAT1040  
G Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be  
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.  
G Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de-  
tent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap  
while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.  
There is  
leakage.  
Have a Yamaha dealer check  
and repair the cooling system.  
The coolant level is low.  
Check the cooling system  
for leakage.  
There is  
no leakage.  
Add coolant. (See NOTE.)  
Wait until the  
engine has cooled.  
Check the coolant level in the  
reservoir and radiator.  
6
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a  
Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.  
The coolant level  
is OK.  
NOTE:  
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolant  
as soon as possible.

Care  
ECA15192  
While the open design of a motorcycle  
reveals the attractiveness of the tech-  
nology, it also makes it more vulnera-  
ble. Rust and corrosion can develop  
even if high-quality components are  
used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go un-  
noticed on a car, however, it detracts  
from the overall appearance of a motor-  
cycle. Frequent and proper care does  
not only comply with the terms of the  
warranty, but it will also keep your  
motorcycle looking good, extend its life  
and optimize its performance.  
CAUTION:  
Some models are equipped with  
matte colored finished parts. Be  
sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for  
advice on what products to use be-  
fore cleaning the vehicle. Using a  
brush, harsh chemical products or  
cleaning compounds when cleaning  
these parts will scratch or damage  
their surface. Wax also should not  
be applied to any matte colored fin-  
ished parts.  
Cleaning  
CAUTION:  
ECA10771  
G Avoid using strong acidic wheel  
cleaners, especially on spoked  
wheels. If such products are  
used on hard-to-remove dirt, do  
not leave the cleaner on the af-  
fected area any longer than in-  
structed. Also, thoroughly rinse  
the area off with water, immedi-  
ately dry it, and then apply a cor-  
rosion protection spray.  
G Improper cleaning can damage  
plastic parts such as cowlings,  
panels, windshields, headlight  
lenses, meter lenses, etc. Use  
only a soft, clean cloth or  
sponge with mild detergent and  
water to clean plastic.  
Before cleaning  
1. Cover the muffler outlets with plas-  
tic bags after the engine has  
cooled down.  
2. Make sure that all caps and covers  
as well as all electrical couplers  
and connectors, including the  
spark plug caps, are tightly in-  
stalled.  
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,  
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,  
with a degreasing agent and a  
brush, but never apply such prod-

If your machine requires warranty service, you must take it to any authorized Yamaha

problem arises regarding the warranty, first contact the owner of the dealership. Since

Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as towing or transportation due to  
a failure?  
No. The warranty is limited to repair of the machine itself.

May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owners  
Manual instead of having the dealer do them?  
Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the  
Owners and Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring  
special tools or equipment be done by a Yamaha motorcycle dealer.  
The federal government requires each manufacturer of a motor vehicle to maintain a  
complete, up-to-date list of all first purchasers against the possibility of a safety-  
related defect and recall. This list is compiled from the purchase registrations sent to  
Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. by the selling dealer at the time of your purchase.  
Q.  
A.  
Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new  
motorcycle exactly as specified in the Owners Manual?  
No. The warranty on a new motorcycle cannot be voidedor cancelled.However,  
if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as  
described in the Owners Manual, that failure may not be covered under  
warranty.  
If you should move after you have purchased your new motorcycle, please advise us  
of your new address by sending a postcard listing your motorcycle model name, V.I.N.  
(frame number), dealer number (or dealers name) as it is shown on your warranty  
card, your name and new mailing address. Mail to:

YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.)  
Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty  
expires with genuine Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.).  
In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection  
(TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to  
$150 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable  
expenses you incur because your Yamaha needs  
covered service: replacement vehicle rental, emergency  
towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are  
away from home. This superb coverage goes into effect  
when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty  
repairs as well as covered repairs during your entire  
Y.E.S. plan period.  
Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor  
Corporation to provide maximum owner satisfaction. You  
get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra  
peace of mind.  
Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right for  
you: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months or, on certain  
models, even 48 months beyond your warranty period.  
Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha  
dealer nationwide.  
Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same  
Yamaha people who handle your warranty – and it  
shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There  
are no mileage limitations. Coverage isn’t limited to  
“moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans.  
And Y.E.S. covers manufacturing defects just like the  
warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamaha  
dealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory-  
backed protection can be.  
Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if you  
sell or trade-in. That can make your Yamaha much more  
valuable!  
This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to  
Yamaha owners like you, and only while your Yamaha is still  
within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your  
authorized Yamaha dealer to get all the facts. He can show  
you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha  
Extended Service.  
You don’t have to pay anything for covered repairs.  
There’s no deductible to pay, and repairs aren’t  
“pro-rated.” You don’t have any “out-of-pocket” expenses  
for covered repairs.
