Yamaha XJ600 information

With only 61 BHP and weighing in at 182 kg, this machine was never going to set the world on fire, but it’s handsome air-cooled two valve per cylinder engine, and attractive styling made it a popular choice for the touring and commuting rider. Bullet proof reliability in a simple layout also endeared it to the owners that prefer to carry out their own servicing. The cheap running costs also made it popular with despatch riders. The earliest models had a single disc with 39mm forks, the later N models, having twin discs with 41mm forks. A 400 cc version of the earlier single disc model was also available, and popular with novice riders, with it’s user friendly disposition.
