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.
