xj600 divvys arent that bad....r they ??
The Divvy was a decent allround bike....but when the Bandit came out in 1995 it blew it away in all areas and was actually cheaper than the Divvy too. You won't find many of them around for that reason, and the ones that are left are usually hacks because they never inspired pride of ownership and were just used as workhorses. Like I say, not a bad bike, but was so outdated and oldtech even when it was first introduced it never generated much interest.

bike cleaning?
How much time you got? This is the definitive list of products and sequence of use: Get the bike in the shade Put soaking wet kitchen roll on screen....leave for 10 minutes. Hose bike down Spray Autoglym bike cleaner (pump action bottle).....use paintbrush for difficult areas. Do not let it dry. Hose bike down Car/Bike Shampoo (without wax additive) applied with soft sponge Hose down Blow dry with garden blower Chamois leather to get rid of all runs Triple Wax on painted surfaces Solvol Autosol on chrome WD40 on wheels to get rid of oil fling or tar spots. Apply with rag carefully. Lube chain with Wurth Teflon chainlube Then go and talk shit on the Internet and make a mental note never to let it get dirty again.

Move to inland Spain! There's 30 year old Fiestas going round without a spot of rust.....and they've never been cleaned since they were new!

Oil Change xt350 and should it have a battery??
Funnily enough I just changed my oil today. The old oil had been in there for 3 months and 600 miles.....but it had been standing most of the Winter in subzero conditions which I find tends to deteriorate the oil and make it watery. Well that's what I've noticed anyway. Refilled with the Mobil 15w40 mineral car oil which I used last time....it seems to run well on it. Though the oil coming out was thinner and more watery than I expected....but that could be down to standing idle for 7 weeks. Next time I'm going to try a 20w50 Diesel mineral oil for the Summer temperatures.....Mobil if I can get it.

Oil Change xt350 and should it have a battery??
The oil level window is just below the kickstart and the dipstick is just above it on the top of the casing. Battery's on the other side of the bike behind the side panel....it doesn't have to have one, but it's better to have one fitted.

What first 'proper' bike???
Best value for money bike to get experience on would be an early Fazer 600 with the Thundercat motor. You could get a mint 2002/2003 for around £3K.
