[DIVERSION OIL LIGHT]

my diversion does the same thing if I leave it on its sidestand while its warming up.

Its never been a problem

just keep an eye on the oil level

Yes, that too: I presume it registers a low level because of this? Thanks for letting me know it's nothing to worry about!

Sounds like your oil level switch needs replacing (not doing it's job properly). Should be ok as long as you keep an eye on the oil level via the sight glass (or dipstick). Switches tend to need replacing at the age your bike is now (17 years old), my bike's 23 years old & i just know that i'm going to have 2 start replacing oil seals very soon, but being a lazy type person i'll probably leave it till it's absolutely desperate for new seals.

Many thanks for this, it's something I can cope with! I've had big ends seize before, and it tends to be in the back of your mind!

I've just bought a 1992 Diversion 600, and it does everything I thought it would. However, when i start it the oil light comes on after a short time, stays on for a few minutes, and then disappears. There's no sign that it's using oil. Is this to do with the levels not registering until it's slightly warm, or have I got a problem? Any info from 600 owners would be very welcome,

Thanks

Thanks Mike, it's definitely a Diversion. All I need is a rack and luggage for it now!

Cheers,

If it's any help this is my 2000(w reg) divvy, notice there is a gusset seperating the fuel tank and the rear panel housing the grab handles, and also the front twin brake discs.(not obvious in the photo)

Many thanks, Alex......it's a Diversion!

The immediately obvious differences are the styling and the brakes.

The styling looks more modern on the Diversion, with a trapezoidal headlight rather than the square light of the XJ6. The styling of the XJ6 is very '80s and the Duversion very '90s.

As for the brakes, the front brake on a UK spec Diversion is a single disc and the XJ600 a twin disc setup.

I've just bought a 1992 XJ600, which might, or might not, be a Diversion. Does anyone know what the difference is, please, or are they the same?
