YAMAHA SRX 600 (1991-1997) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1991, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha SRX 900, a motorcycle that featured a new type of chassis with a modern look and a box-section double cradle frame with high stiffness, providing excellent handling.

The Yamaha SRX 600 was a bike that debuted in 1985 and continued production until 1997. The maker wanted to repeat the success of the SR 500 and placed a more modern engine taken from the XT 600 model into a lightweight, sporty street motorcycle.

The bike's visual department was similar to previous models, packing standard features, such as a large, round headlight on the front, two instrument gauges mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted rear shocks, a single exhaust system, and three-spoke lightweight cast-aluminum wheels.

The bike's wheels were fitted with a 267 mm brake disc on the front, a 240 mm brake disc on the rear, and hydraulic calipers, delivering optimum braking performance.

As for suspension, the bike packed a telescopic fork on the front and dual side-mounted Kayaba shock absorbers on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling capabilities.

As for the power figures, the 1991 Yamaha SRX 600 had its soul brought to life by a 608cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivered an output power of 45 hp with a peak force at 6,500 rpm and 46 Nm (34 lb-ft) torque at 5,500 rpm.
