    I ride a 2010 XJ6 Diversion and bought a HID kit from ebay and fitted it no problem about 20 minutes basically plug and play, I also replaced the side light(the little diamond above headlight) with a white led to match the HID as the light looked yellow next to the brilliant white. No problems to date and I don't know if its my imagination but less cars are pulling out in front of me

    I've just bought an XJ6 S diversion from Carrick Yamaha Edinburgh with free restricter kit supplied and fitted by Yamaha.Passed my test in August last year on a 125 so restricted to 33bhp I was a bit worried about the bike performance once restricted but all I can say is once I stop grinning is wow this is more then enough power for a new rider. I'm going on a trip round the west of Scotland in June so I got a Yamaha mono-key top box and rack fitted at the dealers and a set of Buffalo saddle bags so I have the option to remove when not needed. I spent a lot of time looking at different bikes and settled for the XJ6 because of the reports I read about it. The restrictor is a throttle stop attached the the carbs you only get about a 1/4 turn on the twist grip but as most of the power is at the lower end you don't seem to miss out once in top gear there is still enough throttle to over take without down shifting, anyway I'm having a great time getting to know the bike and I'm sure I've made the right choice
