YAMAHA XJ6 N (2009-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer re-launched the Diversion line, comprising the XJ6 Diversion, XJ6 N, and XJ6 Diversion F. The XJ6 Diversion came equipped with a half-fairing, while the XJ 6 N came in a naked style.

In the American market, the FZ6R model was the equivalent of the European XJ6 Diversion F model but without the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and electronic immobilizer. Both shared the same de-tuned Fazer engine and were offered with optional ABS.

The new line of motorcycles was upgraded to a new liquid-cooled four-stroke forward-inclined four-cylinder engine providing more hp than the previous model and keeping the same 600cc displacement.

In the aesthetic department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a single headlight unit, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a belly pan, an under-belly exhaust system, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.

The 2009 XJ6 N was built around a diamond-shaped die-cast aluminum frame with a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front, offering 130 mm of travel and a single shock absorber on the rear with 130 mm of travel, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling capabilities.

As for the power figures, the 2009 Yamaha XJ6 N had its soul brought to life by a 600cc four-stroke liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine fed by a fuel injection system, boasting 78 hp at 10,000 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
