2009 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion / 2009 Yamaha FZ6R
2009 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion / 2009 Yamaha FZ6R Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. announces the February 2009 release of two new models for the European market, the “XJ6 Diversion” and standard-equipped ABS variation model “XJ6 Diversion ABS,” both of which are powered by a 600cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke, in-line-4, fuel injected that makes 78 horsepower at 11,500rpm and 60Nm at 8,500rpm, , this seems to be the bike with which Yamaha will takes on the likes of the Honda CB600F, Suzuki GSR600/GSX650F and Kawasaki ER-6n.
2009 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion / 2009 Yamaha FZ6R The bike is relatively lightweight allowing the 41mm front forks and Monocross rear suspension to deliver a smooth ride and good roadholding and includes all the must-have aspects that have become essential in the sector of road bikes with a sports connotation: short but high tail, “hidden” exhaust and four cylinders from FZ6 derivation that favour torque. For added comfort the new XJ6 Diversion is equipped with adjustable handlebars. The new tubular frame is designed to deliver easy handling, and its clean lines emphasize the bike’s slim appearance.
The Yamaha XJ6 Diversion (with the addition of a full fairing, this will be sold as the FZ6R in the US market) gets a tubular steel chassis, 41mm conventional fork, preload-adjustable monoshock, box-section steel swingarm, and twin 298mm brake discs at the front, with twin-piston calipers. ABS is optional. It aims to be a model that offers easy and enjoyable riding around town and pleasurable cruising, and its main target is entry-level motorcyclists.
These new models join the high-performance supersport YZF-R6, introduced in Europe in 1999, and the all-rounder FZ6 launched in 2004, to offer European customers a well-rounder line-up of Yamaha models in the 600cc class.
2009 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion / 2009 Yamaha FZ6R Features
Engine
Newly-developed 600cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke inline 4-cylinder engine The XJ6 Diversion is driven by a newly developed 600cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke inline 4-cylinder engine which has been specifically designed to produce brisk performance together with an easy, predictable and linear power band. Featuring bore x stroke dimensions of 65.5 mm x 44.5 mm, together with a high compression ratio of 12.2:1, this strong and responsive new inline-4 cylinder engine produces maximum horsepower 57.0 kW (78 PS) at 10,000 rpm, with maximum torque 59.7 Nm (6.1 kg-m) at 8,500 rpm.
Chassis
Newly-designed tubular steel diamond-type frame In order to be able to offer XJ6 Diversion riders strong all-round running performance, together with a low seat height and slim overall chassis dimensions, we have developed an all-new diamond-type frame. Manufactured from high tensile steel pipes which are 31.8 mm in diameter and 2.3 mm thick, this attractive new frame features a very simple and neat design which has been created using the minimum number of bends and welds.
New 41mm diameter front forks
To complement the new slimline tubular chassis, the XJ6 Diversion is equipped with newly-designed conventional front forks featuring 41 mm diameter tubes which deliver a good balance of rigidity together with excellent shock absorption characteristics.
ABS anti-lock braking system
The new XJ6 Diversion is also available with a compact new lightweight ABS design. This new system has been developed to offer improved feel when activated, and features a linear control (3-position) ABS, instead of the previous two mode system, which operated in ‘increased brake pressure’ and ‘decreased brake pressure’ modes.
Technical specs are as follows:
- 600 cc liquid cooled, inline four cylinder, four valve, DOHC
