2011 Yamaha FJR1300A Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Yamaha for the sport touring motorcycle segment, the 2011 Yamaha FJR1300A pairs a 1298 cc (79.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 140.8 HP (102.8 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 134 Nm (98.8 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 108.5 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the FJR1300A measures 292.1 kg (644 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.48 HP/kg (2.07 kg per horsepower). 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.
