Naked

I've got an XJ6fa as well, it's my first big bike. I had a 50cc scooter before, so the motorcycle world was really new to me. I'd bought it new in April this year and iv clocked 3000 miles so far, I seen to can't get enough of it. It's a bike I really love, perfect for newbies like me. It also has a nice design =) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, Picking up my 60 plate XJ6n up on Saturday, and it'll be restricted. Anyone know how to get the HP limiter off? Or if its even possible without giving the bike back to Yamaha. Regards.

Hey everyone I'm hoping this is in the correct section & i'm hoping it's aneasy one. Been doing some digging to swapping my exhaust from the one I have now to something abit more throaty, which I was thinking decat the bike & happy days but this is a tough one as can't find the parts. After a couple of hours of looking I have found that 03-05 r6 headers with some form of link pipe & a slip on can will do the trick once I have bent a pipe so the header doesnt catch the sump. Where could I get a link pipe & how would I be able to mount a slip on to a link pipe & is there such a thing that exists? How will the lamda sensor plug in? Please tell m…

Hello everybody, I am new to this site as just got myself a new xj6n. I am having a few issues regarding upgrading some things on my bike.

Hi I have just (2 weeks ago) bought a new xj6 2009 . I am experiencing a noise from the front end at around 40 -60 mph. its a sort of rushing sound like air whistling . I have returned to the dealer who say its tyre related resonating up through the front fender. The bike has only done 400 miles and is on BT 021s . Has anyone else had this problem as im unsure about the dealers diagnosis being correct . All help and/or comments appreciated...

Hello everyone, First post so go easy. I've been fortunate enough to acquire some genuine Yamaha LED indicators for my new XJ6 Diversion. Installing the rear ones seems pretty straight forward. When it comes to the front ones however, I was wondering how easy it is to get access to them. Or do I need to remove the front fairing? Lets hope the snow buggers off soon....

It has an akroprovic can on it and sems to pull like a train but ive only done a couple of hundred miles on it; Q3 == with a mileage of just over 5000 and a set of battleaxes on it (it had the rear when i bought it and was given a front which i had fitted) the rear looks a bit shot am i looking a changing tyres so quickly? thanks for your help

I have recently brought a 1999 Yamaha XJR 1300 but the tacho doesn't work and i need to buy a replacement. Does anyone know where i can buy new/second hand sets, or if not if i can use spurious individual versions. Jason

Hey. I have just bought a 95' xjr400, all was ok but the other day one of the cylinders seemed to be cutting in and out, that has now stopped, but today my friend was following behind and he said there was a real stink of burning oil and alot of blue smoke. Befor I bought the bike it had basacily been sitting for a year and a half, iv had it just over a week now. What do you lot think could be wrong, maby a a stuck or broken piston ring? Cheers for any help.

I have a 1977 Yamaha xs 360. If it sits in the garage for about a week I can hop on it and go like crazy with it for about 20 minutes or so, then it will start backfiring on the left cylinder and start to run like crap. When I get back to the house it will only idle with full throttle, so I pulled off the left spark plug wire and the engine did not change at all but the plug is sparking. Just wondering if anyone else have had this same problem? Maybe when the engine gets that hot the valves are out of whack and will not create enough compression on that side, or might be a carb issue on that side.
