I got this used Yamaha XJ600 but can not confirm if it is a diversion or not and would like to know the year of manufacture.

Engine # is: 2200CM3, chassis is: 4BP-02587. Can anyone help. Seems I need replace the engine and need advice.

Its also single front disc and is therefore the first model btw.

I had a first model Diversion ( US import 'Seca 2') and a friend had a second model XJ600N, the only difference being single and twin front discs, and a few plastic bits.

single front disc just means less expense when it comes to changing pads!

Hi

Indicators should be easy. You can buy cheap copies of the original Yamaha indicators.

Best bet for an engine is a breakers yard, or take a bit more of a risk and buy one from Ebay.

What is the problem with the engine on yours?

All the best

The culch was faulty, does not let go completely. Bought a complete kit bought it did not work (maybe wrong model). eventually got another kit but now engine very slow and smoking a lot.

Hi

My guess would be that the problem is the thrust bearing in the clutch. These are very cheap, but the Divvy seems to wreck them.

The Haynes manual says to lube them with engine oil. The Yamaha manual says to use molybendium diasulphide grease.

All the best
