I want to put a +1 front sprocket on my XJ6 but I've not been able to find anyone supplying them. I've searched on Google, eBay etc for a source and can't find anything. Does anyone know where I can get a +1 sprocket or if a part for a different bike would fit? Thanks

This is a photo of the rear tyre on my XJ6, it's the original BT021 with 7,500 miles on it. My question is does it need replacing? Its started to flatten off on the centre but I'm not really sure how worn it can go before it's time to replace it. I'd appreciate some advice Thanks Pete

Went in to the Yamaha dealer today, mainly for a cuppa to warm up after a spirited mornings riding on the XJ6. Saw a Triumph Daytona 675 in the show room so I took it for a test ride - OMG :eek: I couldn't stop grinning :):):):) Awsome bike, fuel warning light came on after 10 miles so...

Interesting article in this weeks MCN (UK) where they put a member of the MCN staff on an R1 as the 'average rider' and WSB star Cal Crutchlow on the same R1, an R6, XJR 1300 and finally a naked XJ6. Cal was still able to do a faster lap on the XJ6 than the 'average rider' on the R1. So...

Just returned from a six day road trip round the North of England. Did just under 1,000 miles with excellent weather and no rain :) Had the first nights accommodation booked before we set of, but after that just booked it as we went. Took a Samsung N210 netbook with us which fits nicely in a...

So I'm approaching a round about in a line of traffic this morning. The traffic is doing about 10mph (who knows with a Yamaha speedo :) ) Anyway, there is no traffic on the round about so the vehicles in front are all proceeding smoothly on to the roundabout. Just as the car in front gets...

Got a GPS for the bike yesterday so got it installed on to the bike last night. Today went out in my VW Golf with the new GPS on a flat, straight road in an open area – that is no buildings, trees, direction or elevation changes. In the Golf with 1/3rd warn tyres (tires :)) the speedometer...

In this weeks (26/05/2010) printed issue of MCN (Motorcycle News UK | Motorbikes | MCN) there is a four page advertising spread from Yamaha and it shows a photo of a 'License Plate Holder' - read tail tidy - for bikes including the XJ6. It takes the original turn signals, and has LED number...

Just come back from a weekend on the North Norfolk coast with my partner on our XJ6 Diversions. This was out first trip away since we started biking three months ago so it was a bit of a test to see how we got on. Weather was perfect, warm, dry and sunny. Did about 100 miles from home down...

Had my XJ6 Diversion for about 3 months now, 1700 miles on it. Yesterday rode out with the partner stopped for an hour. Jumped back on the bikes and after a couple of minutes she says 'why aren't you signaling' Well I thought was but after flicking the turn switch left/right/cancel a...

Partners '09 XJ6 Diversion went in for its 600 mile service last week. The dealer contacted us to say a stone had somehow managed to jam the radiator cooling fan stopping it from spinning. When they removed it the fan was very noisy in operation so they ordered a new fan. Dealer...
