Positioned in Yamaha's sport touring motorcycle lineup, the 2005 Yamaha FJR 1300 utilizes a 1298 cc (79.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. 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.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 818 mm (32.2 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,539 mm (60.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 24.98-liter (6.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
