Additional Notes

  • Across all Yamaha FJR variants and model years covered, brake fluid level is specified as a range rather than a fixed volume, with the reservoir kept between the minimum and maximum marks. This approach reflects the nature of hydraulic brake systems, where fluid level naturally drops slightly as brake pads wear and the caliper pistons extend further.
  • The 24-month change interval applies uniformly to every FJR variant across the full 2001-2022 span under normal use conditions. This time-based interval exists because brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time, which lowers its boiling point regardless of mileage accumulated.
  • The FJR 1300 (2001-2002) and the FJR 1300A variants from 2006 onward carry only the 24-month change interval, without a separate periodic inspection interval specified alongside it.
  • The 5JWA variant of the FJR 1300 (2003) and the 5JWG variant (2004-2006) both include an additional inspection interval of every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, alongside the standard 24-month fluid change. The same dual-interval structure appears on the FJR 1300A in 5VS1 (2003) and 5VS7 (2004-2006) trim designations.
  • The inclusion of a 10,000 km or 12-month check interval in the 2003-2006 variant-coded models represents a more frequent monitoring schedule than the change interval alone. A periodic level check at that interval allows detection of fluid loss that could indicate a leak in the hydraulic circuit before the scheduled full fluid replacement.
  • The FJR 1300AE, covering 2014-2022, shares the same 24-month change interval and min-to-max level specification as the FJR 1300A across the same years, with no deviation in brake fluid servicing requirements between the two variants.
  • The FJR 1300AS, spanning 2006-2022, also follows the identical 24-month change interval and reservoir level specification seen across the A and AE variants, with no additional inspection interval specified for any of its model year groupings.
