About this model

About the Yamaha XJ 900

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.

Before you buy

What to check before buying

  • Start completely cold and listen for cam-chain, valve-train or excessive mechanical noise.

  • Check carburettors and intake rubbers for leaks, poor synchronisation and contamination after storage.

  • Inspect the shaft, universal joint and final drive for oil, play and clunks during throttle changes.

  • Check brake calipers, fork seals, steering-head and swingarm bearings; seizure and wear are common after long storage.
