Years
1984 - 1994
The 891 cc XJ900F gained stronger torque and became the familiar air-cooled shaft-drive sports tourer with partial or full fairing.

1983 - 1983
The first 31A series uses 853 cc and is the light, sporting launch version produced before Yamaha increased capacity.
The Yamaha XJ 900 is a shaft-driven four-cylinder family spanning two distinct eras. The 1983–1994 XJ900F is an air-cooled sports tourer with 853 or 891 cc, relatively direct ergonomics and classic 1980s hardware. The 1995–2003 XJ900S Diversion uses 892 cc, a larger half fairing and a softer chassis setup for commuting and long-distance work. Both are known for smooth delivery and high mileages.
For buyers, documented servicing matters more than cosmetic perfection. Check cold starting, carburettor synchronisation, valve clearances and final-drive oil, and determine whether the brakes and suspension remain original or have been rebuilt. The F feels lighter and more classic; the Diversion offers better weather and passenger comfort but carries more mass. The XJ suits affordable touring without chain maintenance, provided age-related rubbers, bearings and electrical connections have been maintained carefully.
