Is the Yamaha FJR1300AE heavy compared with other Yamaha sport-touring motorcycles?
Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 93rd weight percentile in its Yamaha category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
Does the Yamaha FJR1300AE weight change by model year?

How much does the Yamaha FJR1300AE fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 6.6 US gal (24.98 L) to 6.6 US gal (25 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 41 lb (18.6 kg) to 41.1 lb (18.6 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Yamaha curb-weight calculation.
