??xj6??

hello, Im new here, i have found a ad for a yamaha xj6 ? problem is I have no idea what it looks like as yet? I was hoping to find a pic here at xjbikes... hate to sound stupid , does anyone hace a good clear pic of a xj6 bike??
thanks

 

need more numbers

If it's really an XJ then it may be an XJ650 you can look at my gallery

 

thanks, I typed a search for a yamaha xj6 but mostly got pics of jag's
I wasn't for sure what it was ? thanks again

 

No problem there is also an XJ600 but I don't have a pic. Would look similar though

 

im in the process of buying this xj6 it runs but dies when you touch the gear shifter..

 

Sidestand switch or safety relay issue. It dies when you put it in gear because it thinks the sidestand is down. But what's an XJ6?

 

What year is it?

I think the XJ600 would be much newer than the 650's...
Isn't the XJ600 the Seca II?

 

1982 xj6 but i haven't seen it yet, i go there monday

 

I'd have to guess that it's an XJ650. XJ6, as far as i know, never existed. At least not as a yamaha.

 

well, there's the 2009 XJ6 Diversion

 

well, I went on and bought the xj6, it was a pretty clean bike even with a few parts missing like side covers and air filter box...Im not sure what size motor it is ? 600 or 650????? not had a lot of time to fool with it
is there a .com that you can check out seiral numbers on a bike?
all numbers match the title. this is a 1982 model....4 cylender

 

I'd bet dollars to CCs that its a 650. There is such a site, but I'm not sure of the URL. If you look at the VIN it should start with JYA. The 3 letters/numbers after will tell you most of what you want to know. Mine is 5N8 which is the chassis number for a 1982 XJ650 Maxim.

Do a search for 'VIN' and you will find a very good post by Chacal that gives you great directions for decoding your VIN.

 

You can call your local Yamaha dealer and they'll get you hooked up with the model and size. I bought an 81 650 xj. Took it to a dealer and ran the vin. Turns out it was an 82 Xj750. It's worth the phone call.

 

well the vin# did have 5n8, so best guess would be a xj650 ?? Ill give the yamaha dealer a call and check it out.....no I need to go to the boneyard to find a few parts, side covers, a headlight an a few other small pieces thanks

 

Post your VIN and we can tell you what it is. Post your needs in the buy sell area and you may find some of them.

 

jya5n8006ca020432 , ill check out the sale area thanks

 

your bike is the same as mine - 1982 650 maxim

Known as the XJ650J

 

seems to be a nice bike, very clean.....I think it will make a good bike, in size, it fits me to a tee
just need a few small parts..
thanks
