Along with the announcement of the updated 2013 FJR1300A, Yamaha also announced that its naked middleweight roadster, the FZ8, has received a handful of updates for 2013.
Key among the modest improvements is revised EFI programming for smoother, snappier throttle response, and front suspension is now full adjustability.
Yamaha is initiating a recall campaign the 2011 FJR1300, just a week after a separate recall for the 2006-2009 versions of the sport touring motorcycle.
Like the earlier campaign, the recall for the 2011 Yamaha FJR1300 is for an electrical issue, this time for the brake lights. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, brake light on affected units may not illuminate when the front brake lever is applied because the activating mechanism in the brake switch can bind.
If the brake light fails to turn on, motorists behind the FJR1300 may not be alerted to the motorcycle decelerating, increasing the risk of a crash.
