Overview

The Yamaha XJ 6 Diversion is a sport tourer produced from 2009 through 2015. For 2015, it has a 600 cm³ liquid-cooled inline-four making 77 hp (58 kW) and 59.7 Nm of torque at 6,100 rpm, with a wet weight of 211 kg.

The 785 mm seat height sets the rider’s position, while the 211 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering more demanding. Both ends have 130 mm of suspension travel, and the rear monoshock’s preload adjustment lets riders adapt it to different loads; its chain final drive needs cleaning and adjustment.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Adjustable rear preload
The rear shock’s spring preload adjustment lets riders adapt the suspension to a different load.
Suspension travel at both ends
The 130 mm of travel front and rear gives the suspension room to absorb road irregularities.

Things to consider

Substantial wet weight
At 211 kg wet, the bike can take more effort to maneuver at walking pace.
Chain maintenance
The chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
