Yamaha XJ600 1984 Parts & Accessories

Produced from 1984 through 1991 (and sold in North America as the FJ600), the Yamaha XJ600 holds a milestone position in motorcycle history as the first Japanese production motorcycle to feature a 600 cc inline-four engine. Positioned as an accessible yet high-performance middleweight sport-touring machine, it produced approximately 72 horsepower while remaining remarkably light and agile. Featuring a protective aerodynamic half-fairing, air-cooled 8-valve architecture, and early adoption of a rising-rate Monocross rear monoshock, the XJ600 delivered reliable versatility for both daily commuting and spirited highway riding before being succeeded by the Yamaha Diversion/Seca II series in 1992.
