  • I'm selling my 2012 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion - I bought this brand new exactly a year ago and she's now surplus to requirements. A great "first big bike" or ideal commuter/all rounder. I wanted to take a quick VLOG on her for the record and as I started it turned into an advert! Contact me for full details or look her up on Motorcyclesupermarket.com if you're interested in buying.

    Going off subject, can anyone tell me what the CO adjustment does (adjusted via the clocks) and is more better ?

    Interesting to watch one of your early vids but i clicked on thinking it was for the XJ900 Diversion in one of your "classic" ride reviews. My fault for not wearing my glasses.🏍️💨🤓

    I'm beating myself for not seeing your videos earlier. I would have bought this bike off you. It had all the extras I wanted and it's a diversion. Can I ask you before you are selling your GS or the STR I'd like to place a bid first.

      Hi again rookiecaptain - bother! In the end I virtually had to give away the diversion, it was barely a year old and in as new condition, the buyer really got a bargain as it was a terrific machine (that's how it goes sometimes I suppose). No plans to sell the GS or STR yet but you never know!! Will give you a shout if/when the time comes! Cheers - TMF

    Thank you very much for doing the review. I sold my Honda vfr750 last year thinking I was done with biking, but now I’ve had a change of heart. My hurting around at crazy speeds and scratching in the corners are behind me now, so I’m looking for a comfortable bike. What’s it like with a pillion, is there still enough power for a quick overtake. Also I’m 6’ 2” what’s it like for the taller rider. I think your reviewing style is very good and informative keep on doing the videos. Even bikes I’m not considering I still enjoy watching your reviews.👍👍👍

      It’s not that powerful of a bike - ok for overtakes, not so much with a pillion on board!

    Hi,sorry to bother you about a review from a few years ago but I've just bought a Diversion like the one you were selling in 2013 and I'm interested in the screen on the bike. I find the stock screen produces incredibly loud turbulence and I notice that you'd fitted a higher one that seemed quiet. I was wondering which one it was and what your experience was?ThanksNeil

      +1781BOJ Hi Neil - No problem at all, it was a flip up touring screen in light smoke from Powerbronze - see powerbronze.co.uk/818268/Screens---Flip-(Tall/Touring).category seemed to work quite well although I've since discovered the MRA Vario Screens and if I were to buy again I would go for one of those - cheers for watching - TMF

    How come you sold you're bike ?
    And where did u get the gear indicator from ?

      Hi gamer - just moved on...I bought this as my first "big" bike but quickly decided I wanted something with more poke/fun and got myself the Street Triple R. The XJ6 was great for the purpose I bought it, I just outgrew it. I got the GI-Pro gear indicator from bikehps.com - good gadget, I later bought one for my Triumph Tiger 1050 too...recommended.

    I am looking at one of these as my first big bike, however some people say the it gets quite hot especially when stationery and pulling away, what are your thoughts if you can remember that far back 😀

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  2 роки тому +1

      It was my first big bike - loved it!! Didn’t run hot…

      Mine heats up pretty quickly actually, at standstill, especially in summer months. Gauge hits 100° and then fan kicks in which lowers the temp to about 95°. Never a problem, and the air flow keeps the temp down when on the move. It is due a coolant change, so I did wonder if the heat dissipation might improve with fresh coolant?
