Yamaha FJR1300 FJR Hot Gas Tank Heat Fix Insulation Kit  

   This is a HEAT FIX KIT comprised of one piece of carefully cut and shaped automotive, industrial, metal foil lined, heat and sound insulation material developed specifically for the intended use of blocking heat.

   Many FJR1300 owners have described a problem, ...the bike gives off too much heat under the gas tank. Some even report they will not ride the bike if the gas tank gets close to empty, as they fear the risk of a possible explosion. Others have come up with fixes of plumbers pipe insulation and other various home remedies, etc. I have installed this on my own FJR (above) to basically just keep the tank cooler as it sits over a 1298cc-145 horsepower, in-line 4 cylinder power house. I did notice the tank would get pretty warm and didn't like this situation -although it never got too hot to touch. Some FJR riders complain about excessive heat near the crotch area on this particular bike and Yamaha has redesigned the 2006/2007/2008 models to be more effective in routing the heat away from the driver, ...I see this as a good indication there really is a bit of a problem on the 2005 and previous model year bikes. Even though I have sold this kit to sooo many 2006, 2007and 2008 owners I cant even believe it!

   So here you have a real world solution, a specific insulation material, precut to install in under ten minutes! All that is required is to loosen the front gas tank bolts about 1/4" then remove the rear spindle/pivot bolt which holds the rear of the gas tank, raise the tank (use a block of wood to hold it up), insert insulation, lower the tank and reinstall the hardware, it is that simple! My tank barely gets warm after hours and hours of riding after this modification, ...which I feel Yamaha should have at least offered to pre-2006 FJR owners, there has been enough complaining about the problem on the internet anyway. I think the total fix for the heat problem is to install this insulation and conduct a throttle synchronization, or have your favorite Yamaha certified tech do this, then I bet all your heat problems disappear forever.

As shown as installed, install time is about 10 minutes:

   You will receive a specifically cut shape of this double sided metal foil lined insulation material.  This insulation was designed specifically as a heat barrier and reflector. Fits very easily under the gas tank and still allows the engine to run at normal temperatures and does not block airflow, I have put over 12,000 miles on my personal 2005 FJR with this installed and it runs just like it did without the insulation, except the gas tank remains cooler all the time now. As an added bonus it lets you hear the exhaust output sound a bit more as it lowers the engine sounds just a tad. Anyway, I thought I could help out fellow FJR owners by making this kit and making it easy.

   PS: Don't do what I did, order insulation, wait, wait, wait, find out its back-ordered, finally get it, try to make the right shape, get blisters on your hands from using the wrong scissors to cut it, use a box cutter and cut yourself, go crazy trying to get the right shape, etc, etc, and end up with a mess to clean up:

***This is a newer version of a kit I have been selling with nothing but success since 2005, this new material is 100% waterproof and will not absorb water at all, it has a higher heat blocking rating and is more durable than the older style kit making it more ideal for those FJR owners that like to take advantage of the heat in the winter and remove the insulation during that season. The older kit was a two piece, single foil sided compressed fabric type material, the actual insulation was blue in color. (in case you were wondering). The new version also has tabs which pull through to make installation easier and tighter for better heat blocking than previously possible. If you have and old version (blue on one side aluminum on the other and would like to upgrade, please contact me here.
