The Yamaha Diversion was a series of all-around touring motorcycles based on the earlier XJ series. Before 2009, the series comprised four main models, including the XJ 600S, XJ 600N, XJ 900S, and XJ 900GT.
In 2009, Yamaha relaunched the Diversion line, by introducing three new models, including the XJ6 N naked, XJ6 Diversion half-naked, and XJ6 Diversion F fully-fired motorcycles. In addition, the bikes benefited from a new liquid-cooled de-tuned Fazer engine and optional ABS.
In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F, a new model fitted with a full fairing that delivered a more sporty and aggressive look, improving high-speed stability, offering better wind protection, and reducing air resistance.
In the visual department, the bike had installed standard features, such as a full fairing with a single headlight unit, a windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, an under-belly exhaust system, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.
Underneath its fuel tank, the 2009 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F had hidden a 600cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 78 hp with a peak force at 10,000 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
Suspension-wise, the model packed a 43 mm telescopic fork with 130 mm of wheel travel on the front and a single shock absorber on the rear with 130 mm wheel travel, providing optimum handling capabilities.
