Additional Notes
- The Yamaha FJR 1300 in its 2001-2002 form carries a single cooling system capacity figure of 3.3 liters, with no separate radiator or reservoir breakdown. From 2003 onward, specifications split the total volume into distinct radiator and reservoir values, reflecting a more detailed service approach in later documentation.
- The 5JWA and 5VS1 variants from 2003, along with the 5JWG from 2004-2006, list a total cooling system capacity of 3.2 liters alongside a radiator-only figure of 1.03 liters. The radiator figure represents the volume held within the radiator core itself, while the total figure accounts for all coolant passages throughout the engine and cooling circuit.
- From the FJR 1300A introduced in 2006 onward, the radiator capacity is listed at 2.6 liters with a separate reservoir capacity of 0.25 liters. The reservoir, also called an overflow or expansion tank, holds coolant displaced by thermal expansion and is not part of the pressurized circuit during normal operation.
- The FJR 1300A, 5VS7 (2004-2006) lists 3.2 liters under the radiator label and 0.25 liters for the reservoir. The 3.2-liter figure in that configuration aligns with the total system volume seen in the 5JWA and 5JWG rows, suggesting the radiator label in the 5VS7 entry encompasses the full cooling circuit rather than the radiator core alone.
- All configurations across the full 2001-2022 span share the same service interval structure: a coolant level check every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, and a full coolant change every 36 months. The 36-month change interval is time-based only, with no mileage threshold specified alongside it.
- A 36-month coolant change interval is consistent with the service life of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, whose corrosion inhibitors degrade over time regardless of mileage. The time-only basis for the change interval reflects that chemical degradation is the primary driver rather than mechanical wear.
- The FJR 1300AE, listed from 2014-2015 and 2016 onward, shares the same 2.6-liter radiator and 0.25-liter reservoir capacities as the FJR 1300A and FJR 1300AS across the same model years. The AE designation refers to the electronically controlled suspension variant, and the cooling system specifications are unchanged relative to the standard A trim.
- The FJR 1300AS appears across 2006-2007, 2007-2010, 2010, 2011-2012, 2013-2015, and 2016 onward, all with identical 2.6-liter radiator and 0.25-liter reservoir figures. The AS designation denotes the semi-automatic transmission variant, and no deviation in cooling system capacity is recorded across any of those year ranges.
