FJR1300INFO |

Yamaha's long-running FJR1300 sports-tourer has been revised for 2006 with
new clothes, some intriguing chassis changes and, for Europe only, an
optional semi-automatic transmission .
The new fairing allows a 40mm greater range of adjustment on the
power-operated screen that now moves through 135mm vertically and 49.7mm
fore and aft.
A new mid-cowl on either side is adjustable over a range of 30mm to
micro-manage the climate around the rider's and pillion's legs and a new
central sub-screen duct channels cool air into the riding space to reduce
wind pressure on the rider's body
The new, larger headlights are individually
adjustable from inside the fairing and there's a 12-volt socket inside the
glove compartment on the left of the fairing which also now locks when you
switch of the ignition.
Heatable grips are now standard and the handlebars are adjustable although
you need tools to do it while the saddle can be mounted in a choice of two
positions 20mm apart. The footpegs have also been moved 20mm down and 40mm
forward for a more relaxed ride.
The previously optional panniers are now standard; for 2006 their mountings
have been moved closer to the centreline of the bike so although they're
actually bigger than the old ones, the bike is 50mm narrower than the
previous model with cases in place.
The 1298cc, 105kW engine and five-speed, shaft-drive transmission are
unchanged but the swing-arm has been extended by 40mm to throw more weight
on the front wheel
Anti-lock brakes, also previously an option,
are now standard, as is form of linked brakes Yamaha has called the unified
braking system (UBS).
In this set-up the footbrake pedal operates the rear brake and the lower two
pistons on the right-side front calliper while the handlebar lever is
responsible for the upper two pistons on the right and all four on the left.
The net effect is that sports riders who do most of their braking with the
front brakes won't feel the difference in the dry but riders at all levels
will notice that the bike is steadier when using both brakes on wet tar.
