Engineered by Yamaha for the sport touring motorcycle segment, the 2009 Yamaha FJR 1300 AE features a 1298 cc (79.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 79.0 x 66.2 mm (3.1 x 2.6 inches) with a 10.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FJR 1300 AE measures 294.8 kg (650 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,544 mm (60.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 24.98-liter (6.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.03 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 414 km (257 miles) between fill-ups.
