In serious need of maintenance manuals for my 07 FJR

I don't know what a 'maintenance manual' is, but the two words include four popular things:

Owners manuals are free to download at https://library.ymcapps.net/library/om/app/index.html?baseCode=6150&langId=02

Maintenance schedule is in the Owners Manual, free, and also a convenient consolidated version is linked at https://www.fjr-tips.org/maint/maint.html

And if it's a Service Manual you want, you might check the For Sale section. Or clarify what you want and if it this. And remember that Yamaha is the only legal source for these and we don't pirate or link to pirated manuals on this forum.

Alternatively, Haynes makes a third-party service manual as well and tends to be less expensive. Again, clarify or buy one off Amazon for example.

I agree with JoeyL. Get the Haynes manual. I have both the Haynes (paper version) and Yamaha a factory service manual (electronic version). I find the Haynes manual much more useful.
Here is the URL for the Haynes manual: https://haynes.com/en-us/yamaha/fjr1300/2001-2013-0. Just copy and paste the URL into your browser.
The URL for Yamaha manuals is: https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/yamaha-manuals. As far as I can tell, you can only get an electronic version.
That link to the Yamaha manuals will enable you to download the FJR Owner's Manual, not the service manual.
Print service manual can be purchased here for 2007 ($89.00):

Full electronic manual is not available. They have limited time ebook manuals but are on-line view only - can't be downloaded or printed.
 
I don't want to hijack this thread, nor do I intend to do a "plug" for Haynes manuals, but I can, with certainty say this from my own experience - they have a very professional and dedicated group of people working for them - at least in the U.S., and I can't imagine it being different in their headquarters in the U.K.. I know. I worked for them on a freelance basis for many years. I laid out some of their shop manuals into printable files, and been in their U.S. facility countless times. I have seen their shop, and met the people working there. They purchased brand new vehicles, and broke them down to pieces (at least components of it that differed from previous model years). They photographed, and documented the breakdown and assembly procedures to factory specifications. One of my friends who worked for them directly, actually purchased one of their "rebuilt" (I mean broken down and completely assembled) vehicles, and drove it for many years without any issues. So, all I can suggest is that if you want to purchase repair manuals that explain how to do things to an average (and somewhat mechanically inclined) do-it-yourselfer, then you won't go wrong with their manuals. I owned Haynes manuals for every car I owned since 1985, and have never had issues repairing anything on them using their descriptions and photos. Of course, I read the procedures first, and if I did not have the proper tools or equipment, I did not attempt to do the repair myself. At least, I was able to make the assessment on repairs ahead of time whether I could, or could not do them myself. Even if I was not able to do the repair myself, there is one more thing I found useful after reading the procedures: I knew what it took to repair or replace some component. So on a very rare occasion when I did have to take my vehicle to a repair shop, I knew whether the shop was honest, or tried to sell me a bill of goods I did not need.
