Currently a ST1100 owner. Been comparing the FJR1300 & ST1300.
Just discovered that the FJR only has a fuel filter sock in the tank at the input of the fuel pump. And was told on the FJR Forum that there is no recommended replacement interval for a fuel filter - no surprise, it doesn't have one past the pump output apparently , external to the tank or in the tank.
Noticed on the parts fiche that the ST1300 has a fuel filter on the output side of the fuel pump, but it's located in the tank. Is there a recommended replacement interval in the owners manual ??
BTW, while looking at the parts fiche for the both the FJR1300 & ST1300 , it looks like parts are a heck of a lot less for the ST1300. Example : You can get the entire fuel pump assembly for the ST1300 for a lot less than only the fuel pump for the FJR1300.
I'm leaning toward a ST1300. Don't need more "Sport" than "Touring" , but want to give the FJR a fair shot. They are really popular for LD riding ( In the Iron Butt Rally ).
