xj600n shakeyness
Thats not as big a problem as shaking then, they all do it, sometimes you will notice that the buzz moves to a different part of the frame as you move through the revs? couple of things might sort the worst of it out, get both wheels balanced as those small lead weights can fall off, get your carbs balanced if you can afford it too, mines used to vibrate at the right foot peg, it was the down-pipe to silencer join/clamp that was causing it ! hope this helps Jim

Infate tires using spark plug hole???
As its 'contained' I suppose it would be safe, but doubt it would do the rubber any good

Reasonable price luggage solution
Fitted mines, engine bars, rear rack, plate and top-box, well pleased with it, top-box is a bit Aldi looking but at £135 for all 3 its a blerdy good deal, they are doing this offer on other bike models so have a looky everything fitted with no swearing or elastoplasts

xj600 divi
Not sure if sidestand switch is 'normaly closed' or 'nornmaly open' type, anyhoo, it wont do any harm to short the terminal that connects to it, its worth a try

Hairy lipped squid, what are they like
as a smatter of facts heres a Mervin joke for your perusal A man walks into a pub and as he walks past the cigarette machine, the machine shouts at him. "Oi! You! What are you doing here, we don't want your type, here. You are fat, you are stupid and your wife's a trollop. Clear off back to your sty!" The man doesn't know what to say, but as he approaches the bar, there is bowl of peanuts on the counter, which says to him: "Good evening, Sir, and Welcome. It's an honour to have someone with such charm, talent, wit and good looks visit our humble establishment, I do hope you have a most enjoyable evening". The man is most perplexed, so when the barman asks for his order, he tells him what the cigarette machine and bowl of peanuts said to him, and asked what was going on. "Nothing to worry about, Sir," says the bartender, "The cigarette machine is out of order and the peanuts are complimentary."

Ok, just a suggestion, now that Oor Goff is a famous TV star shouldn't there be a vote for a new nurse? one that can curse, shock, endear, heal, and humble

Yamaha XJ6 Naked 2009
I like the look of the old naked round chromy, a lot of new model bikes seem to be reverting to the jagged transformer streetfighter look, I'm sure there will be guys out there who have done the headlight retro-fit, its a great looking bike despite these bug bears

Yamaha XJ6 Naked 2009
The Leo is a heck of a price aint it, will wait til the stock one rots away, a year and a half then , that and the headlight unit (which looks like a transformers coming face) are the only things I dont like about this bike-except for that it can shift and is well flingable
