What is tempting is what is presented on the advertising channels at night. Well-styled fitness trainers promise real miracles. With a single device and with practically no effort, anyone can become strong and persistent like a decathlete in a short time. After just two weeks with just five minutes of training per day. Guaranteed success, guaranteed only here. Call now. 0130…
A fitness regimen for them Yamaha XJR 1300 Zweirad-Krause promises in Dortmund: 128 instead of the standard 98 hp, 125 instead of 100 Newton meters. The whole thing for 1440 marks included? Drum roll and flourish ?? TuV registration. Actually unbelievable.
This is also the opinion of the motorcycle policeman who arrives at the MOTORRAD tester after a ten-minute pursuit at the Wurzburg interchange. Somehow the Krause XJR struck him as suspicious. From the outside, it only differs from the production model in the thicker tailpipes that protrude from the silencer.
But when the engine is running, it exhales as forcefully as a competitive swimmer. The other differences to the standard XJR: intake manifold with a larger cross-section, a different ignition pulse generator, different main nozzles and nozzle needles, aluminum air filter cover with a larger cross-section. The suction from the air filter box holds back elegantly, although the opening of the milled aluminum air box lid opens directly behind the right side panel below the seat. Everything is properly certified and therefore legal, is the inspector and lets the XJR 1300 driver continue to jet.
For the complete renovation? the test machine was also equipped with other fork springs and struts from Technoflex ?? the Yamaha dealer only needs one morning. Then the difference can be experienced. And it’s like the development of power: enormous. A series XJR 1300 can keep up with up to 6000 rpm without any problems, but then the Krause Yamaha runs away like a cow in front of the branding iron. The front wheel is even raised in first gear; the engine is not interested in which gear is engaged.
Only at a real 240 km / h do the driving resistances put an end to the forward thrust. Fortunately, because the fun stops well before the top speed is reached. Top speed on a naked bike, let’s be honest, is a purely academic value. What is more important is what goes on the country road. And that works with the normal one XJR 1300 with their powerful four-in-a-row quad a lot. But the Krause adds a few more briquettes and sets off real fireworks.
There is little warming up for the commuting around the vertical axis from the country road pace. It is a shame that the Technoflex shock absorbers do not provide a remedy for the symptom already known from the original suspension. And otherwise they are not convincing either. Even with fully open damping valves and minimally pre-tensioned springs, the technoflex parts work rock-hard, while the series set-up is too soft but more harmonious. No difference can be seen on the fork. Actually, certainly not bad components, but they seem to be intended for a different motorcycle. To the Yamaha In any case, they do not fit the XJR 1300.
At 1649 marks for struts and 179 marks for the fork spring, the decision is not difficult. The doping cure for the 1300 engine is significantly cheaper. And with measured 132 hp and 120 Newton meters, it is not an empty promise. Call now: 0231/31999.
