Phone and text: (619) 775-1858 (San Diego side). > The FJR1300 is the Yamaha most often described as a red-key immobilizer bike, and in Europe it is. The 2005 and 2006 US owner's manuals have no immobilizer section, so those US bikes use a plain cut key. Before anything is quoted for an all-keys-lost FJR, the first job is working out which version you own. **Yamaha FJR1300 key quick facts** - The 2005 and 2006 US owner's manuals have no immobilizer section, and the 2006 index has no immobilizer entry. - European FJR1300 manuals open the controls chapter with the immobilizer system: one red-bow key and two black-bow keys. - On the 2006 US bike the key releases the passenger seat. The rider seat then comes off with a lever under its rear edge. - The accessory box beside the meter panel on the 2006 bike only opens with the key in the main switch turned to ON. - The 2005 US manual says three spare locks come in a bag beside the tool kit, so optional side cases and a travel trunk can be set up to work with the ignition key. ## Yamaha FJR1300 key types by year | Years | Models | Key type | Chip | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2005 | FJR1300, FJR1300A (US market) | mechanical cut key | no | No immobilizer section. The key releases the rider seat on this version. | | 2006 | FJR1300A (US market) | mechanical cut key | no | No immobilizer section. The key releases the passenger seat on this version. | | Varies by market | European and other export FJR1300 | transponder keys: one red-bow code re-registering key, two black-bow standard keys | yes | Yamaha's manual says the entire immobilizer system must be replaced if all keys are lost. | ## Two FJRs: with and without the red key Most of what is written online about FJR1300 keys comes from Europe, where the bike carries Yamaha's immobilizer. The European manual shows a red code re-registering key and two black standard keys, tells you not to ride with the red one, and warns that if every key is lost the entire immobilizer system must be replaced. The US books read differently. The 2005 manual for the FJR1300 and FJR1300A, and the 2006 manual for the redesigned bike, both start the controls chapter with the main switch and steering lock. There is no immobilizer section and no immobilizer light in the list of indicators, and the 2006 index has nothing under the letter I except identification numbers, the ignition cut-off system and the indicator lights. Later US model years can differ, so for a newer FJR we ask for a photo of the keys and confirm from the VIN before quoting. **Need a key for your FJR1300?** Call or text with the year and where the bike is parked. Call or text (619) 775-1858. ## Which locks share the key The FJR has more keyed points than most Yamahas because of its touring equipment. - Main switch and steering lock: the bars can be locked turned fully left or right. - Fuel tank cap: under a lock cover, quarter turn clockwise. - Seat lock: releases the rider seat on the 2005 bike and the passenger seat on the 2006 bike, with the other seat coming off after it. - Storage: the compartments are under the seats, so they sit behind the seat lock. - Accessory box: on the 2006 bike it is released by a button that works only with the key turned to ON. - Side cases and travel trunk: the 2005 manual describes spare locks supplied with the bike so optional luggage can be operated with the ignition key. ## All keys lost on an FJR1300 On a plain-key US bike this is a key cut to the locks, checked in the ignition, fuel cap, seat lock and luggage. We look at your photo ID and registration or title first. If the luggage was added later and was never matched to the ignition, tell us, because it may have its own keys. On an immobilizer FJR the picture changes. With a black key and no red key, the bike runs but Yamaha says no new key can be registered. With no keys at all, the factory answer is a new immobilizer system through a dealer. We will tell you which of those you are facing before we travel. ## Luggage locks Side case locks on an FJR can end up mismatched when cases are swapped between bikes or bought used. A case lock can be rekeyed or replaced so it works with your ignition key again. Bring every key that came with the bike or the cases, even ones that seem to fit nothing. ## Where to find the key code The US manuals say the key identification number is stamped into the key tag and give a space to record it for ordering parts or for reference if the bike is stolen. ## What to have ready **Have this ready when you call or text** - Year, make and model of the bike - Where the bike is parked - Whether you have any working key, a broken key or a key code - Photo ID and registration or title (we verify ownership before making a key) ## Yamaha FJR1300 key FAQ ### Does a US-market FJR1300 have an immobilizer? The 2005 and 2006 US owner's manuals show none. Later US years can differ, so check for a red key in your set or an immobilizer light on the dash, and we confirm from your VIN when you call. ### What is the red key that came with my FJR1300? It is the code re-registering key on immobilizer versions of the bike. Yamaha says to keep it somewhere safe and ride with the black keys. ### Can the FJR side cases be made to work with my ignition key? Usually yes. Yamaha designed the optional cases to take locks that match the ignition key, and mismatched case locks can be rekeyed or replaced. ### Why will the FJR accessory box not open? On the 2006 bike the manual says the release button only works with the key in the main switch turned to ON. ## The immobilizer system on this bike - [Yamaha Immobilizer: Red Key, Black Keys and Lost Keys](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/immobilizer-systems/yamaha-immobilizer/): Yamaha's immobilizer uses three chipped keys: one red-bow code re-registering key and two black-bow standard keys. ## More Yamaha models [Bolt](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/bolt/), [FZ6, FZ6R, FZ8 and FZ1](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/fz6-fz1-fz8/), [Majesty 400 and Morphous](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/majesty-morphous/), [MT-07, FZ-07, XSR700 and YZF-R7](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/mt-07-yzf-r7/), [MT-09 and FZ-09](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/mt-09-fz-09/), [MT-10 and FZ-10](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/mt-10-fz-10/), [Niken and Niken GT](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/niken/), [Raider, Stryker and Roadliner](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/raider-stryker-roadliner/), [Road Star and Warrior](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/road-star-warrior/), [Royal Star Tour Deluxe](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/royal-star-tour-deluxe/), [Royal Star Venture](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/royal-star-venture/), [SCR950](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/scr950/), [Star Venture and Star Eluder](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/star-venture-eluder/), [Tenere 700 and Super Tenere](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/tenere-700-super-tenere/), [Tracer 9 GT](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/tracer-9-gt/), [TW200, XT250 and WR250R](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/tw200-xt250-wr250r/), [V Star 250 and Virago 250](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/v-star-250-virago-250/), [V Star 650 and V Star 1300](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/v-star-650-1300/), [V Star 950 and V Star 1100](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/v-star-950-1100/), [Vino 50, Vino 125 and C3](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/vino-c3/), [VMAX and V-Max](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/vmax/), [XMAX and TMAX](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/xmax-tmax/), [XSR900, FJ-09 and Tracer 900 GT](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/xsr900-tracer-900/), [YZF-R1](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/yzf-r1/), [YZF-R3 and MT-03](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/yzf-r3-mt-03/), [YZF-R6](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/yzf-r6/), [YZF600R](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/yzf600r/), [Zuma 50 and Zuma 125](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/zuma-50-125/), [All Yamaha keys](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/makes/yamaha/) ## Services for this bike - [Lost Motorcycle Key, No Spare](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/san-diego/services/lost-motorcycle-key/): No key at all?
