 Posted: 10:06 - 31 Jul 2014 Post subject: Introduction and Project XJ6 Diversion - Street Fighter.. |
 |
|
Hello Guy's
A little about me, I would describe myself as a novice rider as I have very little motorcycling experience, in fact I only started riding a motorcycle February 2014 but I love it. Surprisingly my new found love for motorcycles has crept into almost every aspect of my life, as if I am not riding I am normally tinkering.
And it's this tinkering that has led me to posting this thread.
I have purchased aXJ6 as a project bike, with very little mechanical knowledge I have decided to convert a1992 Diversion XJ6 into a naked streetfighter. Now given the state of the bike when I received it, the bike needed a complete strip down to the frame, a degunk, which is about where I am now.
The bike is stripped and I have ground down the fairing mount points at the front, I was planning to paint the parts myself, but have been looking at powder-coat options as I wasn't aware you could powder-coat different colours. I said i was a novice
The videos on my you tube channel shows the progress also provides what I hope to do with the bike.

Given my complete novice status, there are bound to be parts where i get stuck or just need a second opinion, which is where hopefully you guys come in. Thanks in advance...
Thanks for the membership, take care and ride safe.. |

Be careful using the word 'streetfighter'. It's not going to be a streetfighter, just a naked Diversion.
Still, it should be a relatively good 'diversion' from your normal life!  ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

you mean xj 600 diversion ... xj6 is the new one which is completely different.
not sure where youre getting info from...
you own a 1992 yamaha xj600s diversion
not a 1992 xj6 they weren't made untill 2009
the bike in your first video was not the "naked" xj600s it was an xj6n
this is the naked version of your bike

furthermore its not a street fighter if you take the fairing off and stick dominators on it...
im guessing youve done research into common xj 600 problems?
oil coolers corroding to death, oil leaking into the air box, clutch rattle being fucking irritating
ive owned both the 600n and 600s, you want a street fighter buy the N and crash it. check my avatar for my old xj 600s ____________________ GOOD GAME BODYGUARD: https://i.imgur.com/8WePGgf.jpg
