Across 5 covered model years from 2001 to 2006, the Yamaha FJR 1300 motorcycle has supplied dry weights ranging from 522.5 lb (237 kg) to 590.8 lb (268 kg).
Yamaha FJR 1300 weight overview
This is firmly on the heavier side. The real penalty is not necessarily normal riding; it is low-speed work, awkward parking and moving the bike around manually. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

What the weight numbers tell you
Yamaha FJR 1300 weight FAQ
How heavy is the Yamaha FJR 1300?
Listed dry weight is 522.5 lb (237 kg) to 590.8 lb (268 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
Does the Yamaha FJR 1300 weight change by model year?
Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
How much does the Yamaha FJR 1300 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.
How heavy is the Yamaha FJR 1300 with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 710.2 lb (322.1 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
How much horsepower does the Yamaha FJR 1300 have per 100 lb?
Where compatible power and weight figures are available, it works out to 26.3 hp per 100 lb to 27.46 hp per 100 lb.
Can I treat the Yamaha FJR 1300 dry weight as curb weight?
No. The usable figure is dry weight, so it excludes at least some operating fluids. Dry weight plus the estimated full fuel load is about 563.6 lb (255.6 kg) to 631.9 lb (286.6 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
How much heavier is the Yamaha FJR 1300 with a full tank?
Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 563.6 lb (255.6 kg) to 631.9 lb (286.6 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.
How much torque does the Yamaha FJR 1300 have per 100 lb?
The calculated torque-to-weight range is 16.78 lb-ft per 100 lb to 18.97 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
What is the Yamaha FJR 1300 displacement per pound?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 2.2 cc per lb to 2.48 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications.
