2012 Yamaha FJR1300 Features and Benefits

ENGINE

1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled in-line four engine delivers serious power and torque (99.1 ft-lbs of torque @ 7000 rpm) for an unequalled spread of muscle over a wide RPM range. Red line is a surprisingly low 9,000 rpm for extended engine life.

Engine is a fully stressed chassis member, allowing for a lightweight yet rigid frame design for excellent handling.

One-piece cylinder and upper crankcase assembly provides tremendous engine rigidity that's lighter and stiffer than two-piece designs.

Specially designed four-valve per cylinder head features compact, side-driven double-overhead camshafts providing outstanding low to mid rpm torque and horsepower for effortless sport touring and great passing power.

Specially designed high lift intake and exhaust cams provide excellent torque and power characteristics well suited to sport touring.

Ceramic composite cylinder "bores" are a "liner less" design with the ceramic coating applied directly to the aluminium block to ensure uniform heat dissipation for consistent power delivery, reduced oil consumption, reduced friction and reduced weight.

High performance, short skirt, forged aluminium pistons are light weight for fast throttle response and also reduce reciprocating mass for less mechanical vibration. Compression ratio is 10.8:1

Specially designed, low-vibration crankshaft features two gear-driven secondary counterbalancers delivering a smooth ride, which enhances both rider and passenger comfort.

The crank uses carburized connecting rods for excellent strength and durability. Carburizing is a heat treating process that increases the carbon content on the outer surface of the rod increasing its strength and durability.

Automatic cam chain tensioner reduces both maintenance and engine mechanical noise.

Advanced electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is ideal for long-distance sport-touring. The 42mm throttle body fuel injection system with 4-hole Nippon injectors delivers crisp, seamless throttle response regardless of weather or altitude. This is a closed loop fuel injection system, with an oxygen sensor that monitors the amount of oxygen in the spent exhaust gases and adjusts the fuel -air mixture via the ECU and FI system for maximum performance with minimum emissions. The benefits of fuel injection include choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent fuel economy, and reduced emissions. The oxygen sensor is located before the mufflers, so the use of slip-on mufflers will not affect this system.

Heated oxygen sensor provides precise fuel - air ratio information to the fuel injection system to reduce emissions even further, especially at lower engine temperatures.

Compact engine design uses a stacked "Tri-Axis" transmission (transmission shafts are stacked to minimize powerplant size front to back). The stacked design reduces engine length and centralizes mass, thereby allowing the engineers the ability to place the engine in the "sweet spot" of the frame for optimized front and rear weight distribution which provides excellent handling characteristics.

Wide ratio 5-speed transmission utilizes widely spaced gear ratios delivering relaxed long-distance sport touring performance combined with seamless acceleration.

Special scissors-type primary driven gear helps prevent drive train backlash and significantly reduces transmission noise for great rider comfort.

Light-action hydraulic clutch provides smooth, effortless shifting, minimizing both rider fatigue and maintenance. Shift shaft features a needle-roller bearing to reduce friction for silky-smooth shifting.

Clean, quiet shaft drive system is super-durable and low maintenance. This system features mechanical cam dampers in the drive pinion for quieter, smoother power delivery to the rear wheel.

4-into-1-into-2 stainless steel exhaust optimizes engine performance across the power band and utilizes four, three-way catalytic converters to reduce emissions. Two are located in the junction "box" under the engine and one in each muffler. Combined with the Air Induction System (AIS), the FJR1300 is one of the cleanest-running large-capacity motorcycle engines ever built.

Curved radiator uses twin ring-type fans for great heat dissipation and to aid in moving the hot air out of the cowl area for optimized air management and less heat to the rider. Ring type fans "pull" more air than a conventional type fan.

Easy-access cartridge-type spin-on oil filter makes oil changes a snap.

High capacity oil filter and large volume of engine oil (5 litres) provides extended service intervals between oil changes.

Excessive lean angle cut-out switch prevents the engine from running in the event of a tip over. The switch will activate at 70 degrees.

CHASSIS / SUSPENSION

Cast aluminium twin spar, diamond-type frame, features massive twin spars. This frame design is incredibly light and extremely rigid, the perfect combination for sharp, sport bike-like handling.

Fully detachable aluminium rear sub frame helps reduce weight while permitting easier rear shock access/maintenance.

Lightweight, cast aluminium swingarm. The special swingarm design incorporates the shaft drive into its left side to reduce unsprung weight for incredible handling and suspension performance.

Key chassis geometry figures include: caster angle = 26 degrees and trail of 109mm.

Fully adjustable 48mm cartridge-style forks offer 135mm (5.4") of wheel travel. The adjustable design allows the rider to tailor suspension settings to match rider weight, load and road conditions. Fork adjustments include: 6 - way spring preload, 21 - way compression damping and 17 - way rebound damping.

Adjustable link Monocross rear suspension with 125mm (4.8") of wheel travel features a handy, two-stage (hard/soft) spring preload adjustment lever that allows the rider to easily switch between solo and two-up preload settings. Other rear shock adjustments include: 18 - way rebound damping.

Dual 320mm front discs are squeezed by Nissin 4-piston calipers with independent brake pads for each piston. Computer controlled ABS is standard on the FJR1300.

282mm rear disc brake with opposed piston caliper provide outstanding stopping power. The caliper is mounted on the swingarm to reduce torque action for superior suspension and handling performance. The rear brake ABS system is also computer controlled.

The ABS or Anti Lock Braking System features a linear controlled 3 position system. The controlling ECU and the hydraulic unit are combined into a single compact unit that allows for mass centralization. When the ABS system senses impending wheel, lock-up via active type wheel sensors, the system regulates the hydraulic press to the point just before the wheel or wheels lock-up. The benefit of ABS is excellent control under hard braking or when braking on wet, slippery or loose surfaces. The ABS system helps prevents wheel lock up.

Unified braking system with computer controlled ABS. When the front brake is applied it activates 6 of the 8 front caliper pistons (all four LHS front pistons are activated, while only the "upper" two pistons on the RHS front caliper are activated). When applying the rear brake, both rear pistons activate and 2 front pistons activate (both rear caliper pistons are activated plus the two lower pistons on the front RHS

Lightweight cast-aluminium 3-spoke wheels are fitted with 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear radial tires perfectly suited to both spirited solo riding or long-range trekking.

Adjustable handlebars offer three positions of adjustability. From the centre position, the bars can be adjusted 5.5 mm forward or 5.5mm back towards the rider. Total adjustment range is 11mm.

Adjustable, two-piece seat features an adjustment range of 20mm (0.8") for the rider portion of the seat. There are two steps of adjustment via specially designed eccentric rubbers. Different foam densities for the front and rear sections, ensure plush comfort for both rider and passenger.

Stylish yet aerodynamic full fairing provides excellent wind and weather protection. Air flow management has been optimized to reduce the amount of heat that flows to the rider. There are vents on the outside of each headlight to allow cool air into the cockpit and fuel tank areas. There is also a fresh air vent below the instrument assembly.

Middle cowl features a 2 - position adjustable visor / vent. The adjustment range is 30mm via quick turn fasteners. The rider can adjust these vents (30 mm or 1.2" range) to allow more or less air toward the rider's hip and leg area.

Small item storage compartment is located in the upper left side of the fairing. Inside this compartment is a 12 volt 30 watt DC power outlet for added convenience. The lid can be opened when the ignition is turned on. Its 1 litre capacity is perfect for small items such as cell phone, wallet, garage door opener etc.

Super convenient push button operated electrically adjustable windscreen. The windshield features a fresh air duct at the bottom to reduce the vacuum tendency (negative pressure) in the cockpit area. The range of height adjustment range is 136 mm (5.4"). The windshield can be easily raised for greater wind protection or lowered for a sportier profile via a convenient handlebar-mounted switch.

Quick-release luggage mounts mean fast removal of the 30 litre colour matched hard saddlebags. The FJR1300 has been designed to look great with or without the saddlebags installed. It takes mere seconds to install or remove the locking saddlebags or optional top case.

Ergonomically shaped, large-capacity 25-litre fuel tank offers an excellent riding range, and is constructed of steel allowing for the use of magnetic tank bags. The reserve portion is 5 litres. The under side of the tank improves air management.

Easy-to-read instrumentation includes an electronic analog speedometer and tachometer, LCD digital odometer, dual tripmeters, fuel and coolant temperature gauges, plus a clock as well as a range of warning lights. Other functions include outside air temperature, a gear position indicator and fuel consumption read out.

R1-inspired cat-eye dual 60/55-watt multi-reflector halogen headlights can be easily adjusted for two up riding. Left and right sides can be independently adjusted via conveniently located screw type knobs.

Sleek tail section helps reduce drag and features a sturdy rear passenger grab and integrated small rack that doubles as a top box mount.

Immobilizer ignition system is designed to reduce the possibility of "ride away" theft. This system must recognize the "coded ignition key" in order for the unit to start. If the immobilizer ignition does not recognize the key (or a thief's screwdriver or other type of "jimmy tool") the bike will not start even if the ignition is turned or forced into the on position. If the system does not recognize the coded chip in the ignition key, it will not allow the ignition system, fuel pump or starter motor to function.

2009 Kawasaki Versys

Click Thumbnail to download (size 1600 x 1200 pixels)





Kawasaki presents the 2009 Versys without having too much to mention under the “Improvements” heading as the bike is still a relatively new introduction, a faultless one considering the many positive opinions we got related to it.

They do ad a new color scheme, the Blue in the pictures, apart from Kawasaki Green, but the Versys remains the same all-rounder with many secrets yet to be unveiled when you jump on its seat. Combining a touring-like riding position with sports-like design and performance, a rider would have to reconsider its idea about data such as the 64 Hp, 45lb/ft moving 454 lbs wet weight.

That’s a great bike to get for just over $7K, now painted, hopefully, according to your preferences.

Introduction
Every once in a while, Kawasaki strikes a hit in their competition by introducing brand new models that have little to do with the manufacturer’s consecrated style, but adapt perfectly to the market and carry on gathering tremendous benefits around the world. This is exactly what happened with the Versys model, a middleweight all-rounder that was first introduced to Europe and Canada at the end of 2006, a year before going for the American market.

Relying on the 649cc, liquid-cooled, parallel twin cylinder engine with DOHC and four-valves per cylinder that Kawasaki engineers borrowed from the Ninja 650R, the bike stands out as a great urban ride because of the healthy low-to-mid rpm range. The digital fuel injection system with 38mm Keihin throttle bodies is behind this achievement, but there are no worries related to the bike not being able to keep a constant elevated pace on the freeway and obtain great mileage while doing it.

Although not a veritable tourer, the Versys does offer an upright riding position and considering that it is supposed to commute, scratch and tour, it features a three-way adjustable windscreen so that riders of all sizes can direct the air flow just above their heads. Also, the bike features relaxed ergonomics and, still, the rider’s knees grip on sides of the gas tank offering better control and inspiring confidence.

We do have to admit that the Versys remains a tall bike for 2009 as well, but the 33.1 inches high seat is perfect for the average sized rider. Also, the decent ground clearance ensures that this thing can cover different types of surfaces although not being specifically built for the off-road terrain. The long-travel forks and single shock rear suspensions are also up for the challenge so it’s good to know you’re bike has a few extra advantages that the one from which the engine was borrowed, for example, doesn’t. The 17-inch 6-spoke wheels come in contradiction with a rider’s plans to hit the off-road, but as long as we’re talking about silky soft enduro, it is absolutely no problem.

Overall, Kawasaki’s all-rounder with a soft spot for pavement is still built following a new recipe, one that the competition hasn’t yet been able to literally recreate.

Competition
The 2009 Suzuki V-Strom 650 is a motorcycle that knows pretty much the same tricks as the Versys does. Powered by a fuel-injected 645cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 90-degree V-twin and also being built to suit various rider necessities, but mostly on the streets, the middleweight V-Strom starts at $7,499 so it gets a decent market share.

So is the all-new 2009 BMW F 650 GS. With an MSRP that starts at $8,995, the European alternative offers a 798cc, liquid-cooled, parallel twin cylinder engine with two overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. This too is electronically fuel-injected and it will ensure that the Beamer top out at 115 mph. The pavement is this bike’s favorite playground, but it won’t be disturbed by a little dust either.

Exterior
Designing the Versys, Kawasaki people aimed towards an uncompromising modern look with lithe features shared to the bikes in the same class. The best example in this concern is the uniquely shaped headlight as well as the adjustable windscreen. As strange as it might look, this bike does feature what appears to be an idea of a half fairing, which looks nice too mostly because it provides a smooth pass towards the gas tank.

The seat is pretty much flat while the ergonomics are brought back at the rider so that the Versys would offer the much bragged about upright riding position. The alloy wheels and all the rest of the chassis components are left unpainted while the engine is matte black covered just so it would distinguish perfectly. Like on the Ninja 650R and ER-6n, the exhaust is positioned under the motor for a lowered center of gravity and a compact look. Also, the petal-type brake discs (two 300mm ones up front and a rear 250mm one) look nice and enhance the sporty appearance.

The 2009 Candy Plasma Blue color was the adequate choice for the Versys while the Candy Lime Green is also available.

Test Ride
As the name says, versatility is the key feature of the Versys, a motorcycle that doesn’t fit any specific category, but which combines the benefits of different ones such as sports, touring and even dual-sport. The first impression that it provides is that of comfort as the handlebars-seat-pegs triangle works perfectly for the average sized rider and after a whole day of riding the Versys, we’ve come to the conclusion the comfort is not just an impression, but something definitely worthy to brag about.

Power is there at every twist of the throttle. Given the engine’s user-friendly nature, we tended to underestimate the bike’s capabilities of providing a rush all across the powerband and it was only when we rolled on the throttle healthier and lifted that front wheel off the ground we noticed that there’s plenty more of the Versys than it actually unveils at a quick worming up run. The engine enjoys being revved although at around 8,000 rpm most riders will think they have to shift. Actually, the tachometer’s needle hits redline at 10,500 rpm, which means that it can be a rush after all.

Around the bends or on the freeways, the 2009 Kawasaki Versys will prove being a top performer. This thing leans easily into corners and offers a nice reassuring feel even though you’ll be positioned a little higher than on any middleweight sports bike. Also, thanks to the presence of a sixth gear, the engine’s capabilities can be taken even further and hit the more than decent top speed of around 120 mph. At these speeds, wind protection becomes a key factor and for us the highest windscreen position worked just like on a veritable sport-touring motorcycle.

Furthermore, yet another cool think about the Versys is that it offers the possibility to leave the tarmac in favor of fire roads and generally not bumpy off-road terrain. It’s simply amazing to have the possibility to explore on a bike which performs like a more or less docile middleweight sportsbike with a touring riding position. Also, riding upright on a pretty tall motorcycle provides a great view of the scenery ahead so the bike won’t get more than it’s capable of dealing with.

The suspensions have much to do with this bike being this versatile as they were designed to take the best both of the dual-sport and sportbike worlds. Around sharp bends, these perform brilliantly and at no time the rider will feel like the bike was specifically built for the off-road while off the road these aren’t bad at all.

Not only the 649cc parallel-twin engine was borrowed from the Ninja 650R, but the brake systems too and they work as good on the Versys as they do on the donor bike. Stopping power is always enough and the bike remains stable under hard braking. Also – before corners– slowing down feels almost natural, just like the entire performance of the 2009 Kawasaki Versys.

Price
For a bike starting at $7,099, the ’09 Kawi Versys is more that riders in the United Stated could have wished for especially now with the economical crisis that the country is traversing.


Conclusion
All in all, 2009 doesn’t mark an evolutionary step for the Versys, but given the ride we’ve got on this bike, we reckon it won’t be upgraded a long time from now, but simply revised.

Kawasaki VN900 Classic Motorcycle Preview and Specifications

The Kawasaki VN900 Classic intruduced mid 2006. Distinct changes to its 800cc smaller brother the Kawasaki VN900 gets lower, sleeker and more laid back looks. This model is fuel injected by 2 34mm throttle bodies that deliver the copious amounts of torque and power very precisely indeed. The smooth ride is enhanced by the quiete final belt drive that the Kawasaki VN900 Classic utilises.

Available in Dark Blue or Black for 2008 and Deep Red or Black for 2009 highlighted with long low highly polished slash cut exhausts gives the Kawasaki VN900 a "wild" look. Unlike the 800 version, the rear anchor is now a more efficient disc brake and overall looks more finished with its sleek and very curvy rear end.

The 7 way adjustable rear suspension unit is hidden giving the Kawasaki VN900 that hard tail look, but it in combination with the 41mm forks gives an extremely comfortable and surefooted ride.
As with all of Kawasaki's "Classic" designs it is so hard to imagine that these retro looks are built using the latest technology. Don't be fooled - The Kawasaki VN900 Classic is a machine that carries the yesteryear american cruiser look so well whilst offering excellent handling, stopping power and reliability that we have come to expect from the latest Kawasaki machinery.

The 180 profile rear and 130 profile front tyre mounted on the highly polished classic spoked rims gives this all new model a huge footprint which when married with the 32° rake gives excellent straight line stability.

The Kawasaki VN900 Classic is the new big bore middleweight cruiser on the market that is perfect entry into the world of custom cruisers.
The new VN900 Classic is the perfect machine on which to discover the joys of cruising. Not so big as to be intimidating, yet pumping out plenty of satisfying power, this new middleweight cruiser is designed to introduce a broad spectrum of riders to the exciting world of Kawasaki cruisers.

Powered by a liquid-cooled, 903 cm3 V-Twin engine, the VN900 puts out just the right amount of rider-friendly power. Modern technology like fuel injection, 4-valve heads and digital electronic ignition delivers plenty of the gutsy torque that makes riding a cruiser so much fun.

The VN900 looks as good as it goes, thanks to a VN2000-derived styling package. The bike’s long-and-low design is complemented by seductively shaped bodywork, a low seat and a super-fat rear tyre, just like the big cruisers. And with its stable handling qualities and rider-friendly ergonomics, this is one middleweight cruiser that looks and feels like a larger machine. Everything about the VN900 is evocative of the high build quality and craftsmanship for which Kawasaki cruisers are famous.

The VN900 Classic was specially designed to allow new riders to experience the exciting world of full-size cruisers. Combining the look, feel and features of a big-bore cruiser with the rider-friendly features of a middleweight, the new VN900 is the perfect entry vehicle into the world of big-bore cruising.

Is it because their firing order mimics the beat of the human heart that V-Twins have such timeless appeal? Is it the gutsy low-rpm torque that gets you moving with minimal fuss? Is it the effortless mid-range acceleration that makes passing other vehicles so easy? Or, do riders love their V-Twins simply because the exhaust note and power characteristics are so intoxicating? Whatever qualities you love about V-Twin engines, you’ll find them all in the VN900.

When riders first see the VN900 Classic they’ll be surprised to hear that it is “only” a 900. That's because this bike has the size and styling rivalling that of the big-bore cruisers. Long, low and ready to cruise, the VN900’s styling is evocative of the VN2000. This effect is further enhanced by the voluminous engine design, the attention to detail and the craftsmanship evident in the seductive, hand-sculpted bodywork.
