Yamaha XJ 600 Diversion Autumn ride

[ylism]

Nice looking bike you have, I started watching, and fell asleep, The music put me in la la land. If the bike was making it's music, Just maybe I would have stayed awake. Ride safe out there, yl

[cuzar]

I've sold my diversion :( it's been a great motorcycle. It has run over 65000 km, but it had absolutely no problems. Unfortunately, I had to sell it...

[abyeeve]

Every time I am down I watch the first part of this vid and it makes me want to get my Diva (German nickname for XJ600 Diversion) out even when it is shitty weather outside. Action camera and fitting music make a great combo, safe travels to you from Germany

@abyeeve

Thanks a lot ! :) I'm planning to do a new video like this, again this year.

[Soukki44]

Really nice vid :D

I definitly choose the XJ600 as my first bike :D

[ThaBR33D]

I've heard that the xj is an unreliable bike. Have you had any problems with it? How does it do at highway speeds +-70mph?

[siniraag]

@ThaBR33D

Unreliable??? It's compleatly opposite to unreliable!:D

It runs well 200 000km without changing anything on the engine. It's Bomb-proof!

[242tdryan]

@ThaBR33D my xj750 has been the most reliable old bike ive had. but as far as highway is concerned it is in despereate need of a 6th gear. consider 12.5 mph at 1000 rpm so about 6000 rpm at 74mph

[siniraag]

@242tdryan

Have you considered to change the gear ratio ? smaller gear to the back and bigger up front. I've done a lot of mods to my Xj now, this is a very old video. I cahnged the rear wheel to wider 17'' wheel with 39 sprocket.. when riding 60mph, it does 3800rpm. whit the old wheel and sprocket it did 60mph with 4500rpm. i lost a little bit of acceleration, but compensated it with the engine ignition advance mod.

Cheers!

[242tdryan]

@siniraag my xj is shaft driven so im not aware of a way to change the gear with out really gettin dirty

[siniraag]

@242tdryan

Oh yes, sorry, should have known ;)

[hupaka]

What a camera You use??

[siniraag]

Panasonic sdr-sw 20

nice bike, nice movie.

It can be easily seen that this movie wasn't made in Poland. Our roads offer much more emotions - not really good unfortunately - holes, bumpy roads, ruts in the asphalt.... and drivers who can't stand when you overtake them;/ That's why I want to change my Virago 250 for something bigger. Maybe it will be XJ 600.

I envy you such peaceful roads.

[siniraag]

@eldruto

Roads here are not that good either.. this road in the video is very decent but most of the road's are very crappy.

I hope you get your dream bike and noone will overtake you with your motorcycle!

Many thanks to you !

[carlsant1]

a lot of people say this is a boring and sluggish bike, ive bought one but cant ride it yet, is this true? and any idea on the 0-60?

[siniraag]

@carlsant1

I disagree, it's a great beginners bike! I think you are going to have great times riding this bike:) The acceleration is not not very powerful when you have ridden bigger bikes, but if you are a beginner biker, it's more than enough for you.

I'm very happy with my bike :)

[zrnjrnc]

best sound.I fall in love with it.

[szily85]

[HondaSS125]

regars from poland ! :)

[siniraag]

@HondaSS125

thanks a lot :)

[burfitt]

Great vid, makes me excited to pick my one up in a weeks time :) p.s. what year is that one

[siniraag]

@burfitt

Thanks mate, it's 1995. :)

[askavir]

Great video! Beautiful road, excellent image quality! I have a XJ600S myself, i use it for everyday use e it just keeps going without a glitch day after day. Also very comfortable for commuting and short to medium trips. Nowadays there are more powerful beginner bikes, but probably not as reliable and confortable. By the way, what is the name of the song playing in your video? Thanks!

[siniraag]

@askavir

Yes i agree with you :)

Soundtrack is : Coldplay - Strawberry Swing

[kyledercoder1]

nicest xj 600n video out here on youtube ...

got mine a week ago, awesome bike! :O

[siniraag]

@kyledercoder1 Than you :) Have fun !

[Abomitron]

Nice vid man, looks like some nice roads ya got too.

XJ600's are really great bikes. Very forgiving to new riders, but once you get your technique down it's quite capable in the twisties as well.

[bulkeris]

Hello this is such a great video. I love the  XJ 600's . Hopefully I'll get myself one someday :)

[siniraag]

thank you! hope you got yours aswell ;)

[johnbeton007]

Great riding video, thinking of an XJ600s too.

[PanTheMan007]

excellent video! would you recomment the xj600 for a beginner? as the first bike? how long do you need from 0-60mph?

[siniraag]

Thanks, yes it is a very good beginners bike.

I don't know how fast it will go to 60mph, but i think it will do it with at least 5-6 sec.

[DuesenWilly]

@siniraag 4,7 sec.

[siniraag]

ty :)

[trossachs2003]

@PanTheMan007

I've had one for 13 years. There must be better beginner bikes out there these days but it is incredibly bulletproof. Just keeps going year after year.

[arekka]

Great quality, great sound.. :) Thinking of XJ 600 myself.. Anyway - you might notice on the video the moment you slow down before the crossroads the way a motorcycle actually keeps it's balance! really nice!

[siniraag]

Thank you very much! Yes it is a very good bike. Although not the most powerful one, but very comforable and easy to ride.

:)

[Anticitizen419]

Nice ride...great camera angle. 5*

ride safe :)

[siniraag]

Thanks ;)

i will !

[ez0r]

Damn! Really good quality on your video! Really excellent. I think this is one of the best riding videos I've seen. Used to ride an old XJ 900, by the way.

[siniraag]

Thank you very much ! :)
