At winter it takes a bit longer to warm up 10w50 oil. , hi there – thanks for this – i’ve given the ‘go ahead’ to millennium to do the service, replacements and mot – i had to use the train to get to leeds from birmingham sharing the carriage with a load of pissed foreign students…it was awful, took 90 minutes longer than the bike and probably around £ 35 more expensive. Last time when i changed oil i used Motul 7100 10w50. Can you buy a bigger tank? ı have got one xj 600 n 1997 model and ı need one gear for this. Might be if it’s been sat outside for that long. The XJ 600 Diversion was also available in Europe, Australia and the USA (although it was known as the ‘Seca II’ in North America and Australia).

View all drawings for this model This is a genuine Yamaha EXHAUST for a XJ600S DIVERSION 2001 Motorcycles. Re the Motad exhausts, they are exceptional quality (probably the best out there!). This way, if you forget to turn the heated grips off (and trust me, as an ex recovery driver this happens alot!) I agree with the it not being gearbox after doing some research as to how a gearbox works. Any ideas what caused this? The data we have says the main cylinder head bolts should be tightened to 22nm, the smaller M6 bolts should be tightened to 10nm. Also I tried running it today and it blew the fuse when I pressed the start button. Could this be worn gears, it says 6 gear on the case, I’m pretty sure it has 5. Hi there your article is really helpfull. If it has been restricted how can I remove the restrictions? Hi the need help desperately just brought an xj600 s diversion cheap as its a non runner (alarm problems) therefore I’ve traced the alarm back & removed the whole thing but still not starting is there a problem with the imibiliser?

Hi WhiteDog, Yamaha XJ600S DIVERSION 2001 EXHAUST. when throttle down to slow the bike comes to a stop on its own with tax and test for under £500. It has the single disc front brake & the forks are pitted & leaking badly. Glad you got it sorted, what was the problem in the end? £3999 for an ‘L’ reg model and £4399 for an ‘M’ reg model, £4399 for an ‘M’ reg model and £4629 for an ‘N’ reg model. I would say because of the temperature of the engine. I haven’t seen it yet but it sounds like I might have to fit new piston rings.

Personally, I’d go for a recognised brand motorcycle semi-synthetic 10w40 oil. Unless you’ve got an engine from a different bike (which is unlikely), you should have 6 gears. Because of the 4 into 2 set up of the exhausts buying replacement end cans can be expensive (also worth bearing in mind that some owners have complained that cheaper, single can systems can upset the balance of the bike!). Hello! I love it. Hi thanks for the reply. How do you manage to change an oil filter without dropping the exhausts? Give it a while to penetrate the lock (you can also try spraying around the steering lock). To clean the lock out you can try spraying a brake cleaner into the keyhole in the ignition, leave it for a few mins, then spray a maintenance spray into the keyhole (something like a good maintenance spray). I’m repairing it on a budget & cheapest I can find is complete Black Widow 4 into 1 stainless system for £245. The XJ600 Divi proved popular because of the simple yet bulletproof engine (making it very reliable! Basically, exhaust systems with 2 end cans are normally much more expensive then single can systems (due to there being 2 cans!). The one fitted to my XJ600 (HF303) seems to sit so tight tight up to the pipes that even if you got it to turn it would never unscrew far enough to clear the mounting. Have a look at the needle for signs of pitting and check the float bowl isn’t over filling.

Hi there, going to change the fork oil on my Diversion but am getting a little confused with the quantity due to the year, the reg is on a 1999 (T) but bike is coming up as a 1998 4BRE on Yamaha parts website when I type the VIN, haynes is saying 375cc for 1996-1998 and 463cc 1999 onwards, it has 41mm forks any idea which quantity I should use?? so, I don’t care what it costs, the bike’s much better value – agree with the idea of spare parts and i’m compiling a ‘must have’ list as the Divi’s now had a complete engine re-build, new exhaust, new brakes & tyres and had the electrics refreshed – so, it’s going to do for a few years and it is a head turner – pulled up outside ‘get geared’ in Leeds amongst the big, new bikes and had a nice gang of people around the Divi talking wistfully of biking in years gone by…not sure how I feel about “years gone by” but now I’ve decided, feel a lot better and can’t wait to get out and work through another winter – good riding:-), “took 90 minutes longer than the bike and probably around £35 more expensive…..”, And there in lies the fundamental problem with British public transport! Oil level light doesn’t come on if i warm it up for ~5 minutes. medianet_width = "160"; At about £35 more for the train the bike service should have paid for it’s self in 3 weeks? To remove the rust you can use a little bit of wire wool (this is the easiest way I’ve found to remove light rust). If it is a failed engine gasket causing the leak and you know nothing about motorbikes, I would suggest you check with a local bike garage as to how much replacing the gasket would cost? Regarding the chassis characteristics, responsible for road holding, handling behaviour and ride confort, the Yamaha XJ 600 S Diversion have a  frame with front suspension being  and in the rear suspension it is equiped with  .

Can you or the owner see where the oil is coming from? Check the earth’s and for any burnt out wires rubbing together. Also, without a proper title, can you tell me approximately how much value it would lose if I sell it? I pulled over found that it had blown the 20amp fuse so I replaced it and it would not go down into first gear so I started it inot second and not 100m down the road it did it again. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. You may be able to get your tank modified by a metal fabrication company to make it bigger (might be expensive though)? If the battery is flat it could be a battery problem or it could be a problem with the regulator/rectifier (if the reg/rec isn’t working you will probably be draining the battery when riding). The old XJ 600 used BS 32 Mikuni carbs and the early (1992) 600 Divi’s used BDST 28 carbs (I think both carbs had different settings, needle and jet sizes as well). Dean, hi there – me again after some time – I’ve a ’92 xj600s – 40,000 on the clock – undergoing an MOT at a Yam dealer in St Helens – all fine apart from replacing rear brakes/pads, which I get – silencer has failed – downpipes and mid section appear okay – which could cost in the region of £ 300 to replace – any idea if it’d be cheaper getting the rear section of eBay – is it worth considering a scrappie? And then twice after that just by turning the key to on but earlier I had the key to on with no problem. Sell or buy used bikes? thanks a lot have changed pads and overhauled calipers bled works fine Sounds like you possibly might have a faulty starter solenoid (follow the red/positive lead back from the battery and you’ll find it). To prepare for the winter (bike wise), just keep the battery charged up (it takes more out of the battery starting in cold weather) and the biggest thing is to keep the bike clean, especially the exhaust downpipes and cans as the winter salt on the road loves eating metal parts if left on the bike! Hello, unfortunately, we don’t have the starter gear you are after.

Is there anything special to look out for, or any tips/tricks when doing the top-end and cylinders? Is this a normal thing with the 92 model or is the rear light stealing power from somewhere? What’s the mileage on the engine, do you know what oil it currently has in it (and when was it last changed) and are you sure your using a litre of oil every 14 miles (I might have read that bit wrong?)? As to the engine noise I would say change the oil and see if it get’s any better (the normal oil change interval should be around every 4000 miles on an XJ600). or Is there another supplier I should consider?
