The Yamaha FJR1300 front turn signal uses a P21/5W bulb size, while the rear turn signal requires either a 12496 or P21W bulb size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 2003 through 2015 with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Yamaha FJR1300 front turn signal uses the P21/5W bulb across all listed model years from 2003-2012, making it the most consistently specified bulb type in these fitment records.
The P21/5W is a dual-filament bulb rated at 12V with a 21W main filament and a 5W secondary filament, mounted on a BAY15d bayonet base. The offset pins of the BAY15d base are a deliberate design feature that prevents incorrect insertion.
The rear turn signal on the Yamaha FJR1300 uses the P21W bulb for model years 2003-2012.
The P21W is a single-filament bulb rated at 12V, 21W, and uses a BA15s bayonet base. Unlike the P21/5W, it carries only one filament and has a single-contact base with symmetrical pins.
Because the P21/5W and P21W share a similar physical profile but differ in base type and filament count, the two bulbs are not interchangeable. The BAY15d base of the P21/5W and the BA15s base of the P21W are mechanically distinct.
Both the P21/5W and P21W conform to ECE standards, indicating they are rated for use in European and worldwide markets where regulatory compliance for signalling bulbs is required.
For the 2013-2015 rear turn signal, the Yamaha FJR1300 specifies the 12496 bulb, which is a part number used by Philips and Osram for a 12V halogen bulb in a specialty application.
The 12496 designation is a trade or catalog number rather than an ECE classification, which distinguishes it from the P21W and P21/5W designations used in earlier model years.
No front turn signal specification is listed for 2013-2015, while the rear signal specification changes to the 12496 for those years, meaning the two positions do not share a common bulb type during that period.
The rear turn signal specification for the FJR1300 reflects two distinct fitment groups across the listed years, with P21W covering 2003-2012 and 12496 covering 2013-2015, and these groups require different replacement bulbs.
