The Bar

Dear all, Took my old 1992 diversion XJ600S out for a spin last week. Drove 160Km on one day, but when I went to start the next day, upon turning the key the lights came on for a second and then everything died. Now no power at all when turning key on and I cannot explain it. Checked battery, no problem, 13.19 volts ( spent the winter on a trickle charger). Checked all fused, not avail. Anyone a clue where to start looking? Thanks, Simon

HEY, IM LOOKIN TO CHOP MY 83' XJ650 AND WONDERED IF ANY1 HAD ANY TIPS OR INFO THAT COULD HELP BE BEFORE I START PULLING THE OLD DOG APPART. ALSO ANY PIX OR LINKS TO RELATED SITES WOULD BE A GREAT HELP. CHEERS! ANDY.

Anyone know how to check the turbo is working and anyone know how to check the boost gauge as my boost gauge reads nothing so am unsure if the turbo/connections are ok. She has been rebuilt 21 months away, cost loads and now not sure what is wrong with the gauge. Having to use a fair bit of throttle with gear 1-2, maybe it is because of the engine rebuild or poor petrol etc. So if anyone has any ideas?

I have got a XJ650 for my sin's I think it my have come from USA, but trying track its reg year etc, I am also in need finding a turbo, exhaust down pipes, any guidance be most welcome.

Hey again peeps Now the Jawa has gone im looking for a new toy... got my eye on a 650 Turbo but are they any good? any known faults or things to look out for? Any advice appreciated... as always - Foameh xX

Hi. Just bought a 2009 Yamaha XJ6N.Can anyone tell me how many miles I can get out of a full tank riding in central London. filled it up....only done 30 miles and already two bars have gone out on digital fuel gauge. Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers guys

Hi all , I have a 2009 XJ6n that I will register in France and would like to know if the headlamp unit is switchable from rhd beam pattern to lhd like on some cars. I cannot find my owners manual although I would think a lhd headlamp is required. Beam deflectors will not be adequate. Regards , David

Does anyone else who has an XJ6N smell petrol fumes mine has started doing it recently it is just over a year old and never done it before.

hi can anyone tell me service costs for a xj6n ,had the 600 mile service done by the yamaha dealer now the yearly 1one or the 6000 mile service is due in a couple of weeks bike has only done 3500 miles thanks for any info on price i should be paying

Hello I have a Yamaha XJ6N with 33bhp restictor fitted. When I pull the throttle back after changing gear there is a delay before throttle kicks in. At the moment it only seems to happen when bike is cold, once warmed up it's okay. Any help will be much appreciated

Me at Brans last night .

Has anyone tried these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Hand-guards-Integrated-Indicators-Suitable-For-Yamaha-XJ6-XJ6N-/181060025101?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2a2804bb0d Was thinking about the Acerbis Dual Road handguards but thought these might be a suitable (and cheaper) alternative? Less concerned about crash protection, more worried about keeping my paws a bit warmer

Hi, I have purchased 5 new rear disc bolts for my XJ6s and I would like to know the tightening torque also whether I should use threadlock on them ? Another less important thing I would like an opinion on is the round gear shift rubber which I have also purchased, it is genuine Yamaha and I notice one end of the hole is chamfered and the other is square, which way round should it be fitted on the metal lever ? Hopefully someone has the answers ! Lincol

are there any users here who own an xj700 maxim, they are few and far between, its amazing how many people argue with me its not what i say it is, usually spouting off what they know it is/was built from even though they have never seen one before! i'm interested in what other people do with theirs, tips about looking after them that sort of thing.

hi, does anyone know which exhaust system will fit my xj750 maxim, its a 1982 year imported from usa the collector box is rotten and im not keen on a 4 into 1 thanks kenny

hi lads i have been working on the bike and cant balance the carbs even with the yics balance tool as the no3 carb doesnt give a reading on the gauge.Managed to balance the outer 2 but not the inner carbs would anyone out there have a set of carbs to fit the bike or any ideas on what is wrong.

Hi I have just become a member of this site and I am wondering if anyone has any good info regarding the fairing mounted mirror conversion that some people seemd to have done to their Divi's. The reason for this question is that Yamaha want £45 pound to reeplace the left hand mirror that has broken on my bike due to some muppet hitting it while the bike was parked up, and I have seen on some of the websites fairing mounted mirrors for about the same price and they doo seem to look good.

I need a new rear caliper for my 900 Divvy, has anyone upgraded or can anyone tell me what will fit as a standard replacement? I believe the FZR 600 caliper is the same, as well as the 850 TDM. Andy other thoughts?

Hey guys, I want to take my 98 diversion and turn it into a cafe racer style ride. I have removed to fairing and notice there is a lot of stuff nicely hidden by it, and I have no idea what it all is and ho to reroute it all. can anyone suggest where to start?

Can anyone give me any tips where I can get an oval set of tail pipes for my 97 diverson?
