In 2014, Yamaha released the FJR1300AS, one of the most incredible touring machines in the world. The 2014 machine came equipped with an electronic clutchless gear shift system that allowed the rider to change gears with the left foot or thumb without using the clutch lever.
The bike retained the potent powerplant, fitted with the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), offering smooth and sporty power delivery. In addition, the engine provided high torque output with excellent and strong acceleration in all gears and top-end power, covering massive distances in less time.
Also, the 2014 Yamaha FJR1300AS came equipped with fully-adjustable ergonomics, enhancing its comfort. The bike was fitted with a seat and an adjustable handlebar, and for better wind and weather protection, it featured an adjustable windscreen.
The 2014 machine packed many advanced electronic control systems, like the Traction Control System (TCS) and cruise control, allowing the rider to choose between a relaxed or a sporty riding experience. The electronically adjustable suspension offered quick and easy chassis tuning.
In the performance department, a 1,298cc liquid-cooled four-stroke four-cylinder engine boasted 145 hp with a peak at 8,500 rpm and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) torque with maximum strength available at 6,000 rpm.
In the braking department, the massive machine came from the factory with three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels. The front wheel was fitted with four-piston calipers and two 320 mm discs offering strong stopping power, and the rear wheel had a dual-piston caliper with a 283 mm disc.
