About this model
About the Yamaha XJR 1300
The Yamaha XJR 1300 is an air-cooled retro naked powered by a 1251 cc inline-four. The engine is directly derived from the XJ1100 of the early 1980s and emphasises classic lines with modern reliability. With 106 hp and a broad mid-range torque curve, the XJR 1300 suits both city riding and relaxed country trips. The SP variant comes with Öhlins suspension as standard. Production ran from 1998 to 2016 with minimal updates throughout, contributing to its timeless appearance.
The XJR 1300 attracts riders who value retro aesthetics combined with enough power for an expressive riding experience. The weight of around 241 kg demands riding experience, but the low centre of gravity and good balance make the bike manoeuvrable. Rivals include the Kawasaki Zephyr and Honda CB1300. The XJR 1300 stands out for its characterful air-cooled engine and compact classic styling, which is relatively rare in its class.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the air-cooled engine for oil leaks at the engine cases and cam cover; a concern on high-mileage older examples.
- Check the carburettors (pre-2007 models) for correct tuning and needle bearing condition; synchronisation is required when idle is erratic.
- Inspect the front forks for oil leaks and check spring preload for the rider's weight.
- Inspect the exhaust header joints for rust; a concern on older models.
- Check brake lines for cracking and ageing; hydraulic lines are due for replacement after approximately 10 years.
