Hi everyone. Just passed my test and after selling my piece of crap 125 had very limited budget for bigger bike.

After trolling the classifieds and fleBay found my 1995 Yamaha XJ600 Diversion Seca II. Only used a few times for work but already love it. Needs a little bit of TLC etc and a very annoying knocking at low revs but rides great.

I plan to devote a lot of time and effort into it to make it better and tidier!

hi ya, congrats on passing and welcome to the land of fun


we are down your way in a couple of weeks if you fancy a bimble out, might be about 5am but you are more than welcome to join us.

Sounds good, depends if I'm working that weekend or not! If its a couple of weeks I should be off

Yeah will be interested in rideouts etc - off work every other weekend and the odd days. Off this weekend so weekend after next will be off

we have quite a few members down your way, post up if you are up for a bimble, see if anyone is free. there may even be a pub meet being planned soon.

get hold of badgerkdd on here, he is your local guy, does all the socials etc.

welcome to the site though, feel free to dive in, get involved, post up pics of the bike etc. Any tech help you need, ask away, you might get lucky.

Welcome mate from n.Devon

Greetings and welcome

Hello from Zumerset.

That bike similar to the XJ600? I presume its an import?

Hi from Taphouse, found out what the knocking is yet?

welcome

No, thought it may have been the usual noisy clutch but now think it may be something to do with front sprocket, spindle it's on or hopefully something simple like the chain. Chain is tensioned ok but does have a tight spot! Only clunks at low revs at low speed, under load it stops!

Hi, yeah tis an import. 1995, imported and registered in UK in '98. It is an XJ600S Diversion, but in US it's called a Seca II.

sounds like the clutch rattle....check on the web there is a cheap fix involving a 5mm drill bit cut and placed as a repair iirc...

Although I would look at replacing any chain with tight spots personally dont want that at 70mph!

I had a 1999 Diversion with that issue, followed the instructions did the fix and then all sorted.

I have a haynes here still somewhere for it if you need any information.

Enjoy the bike, cheap and easy maintenance and fun to ride

Thanks Kevitree. Will look into it when I have a spare day or two. I have had the chain checked and told it will be fine for now.
