The Yamaha XJ 900 is a motorcycle model of the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha.
It came on the market in 1983 and trained as a displacement largest model at the time the upper end of the successful XJ series. They also built directly on the technology of Yamaha XJ 650 and was also initially touted as an athlete. She gained due to their high reliability (mileages between 300,000 km and 500,000 kms with regular maintenance not uncommon) and good everyday practicality a reputation as an excellent touring bike with a sporty touch.
Like many other machines also, of course, also this bike has some minor flaws. Here are the others Rahmenunterzug to call on the side of the side stand, mounted by entering the storage area ventilation holes in the swing moisture. Rusty over the years then the Rahmenunterzug at its deepest point from the inside out by, which often leads to broken kickstand recordings.
The same applies to the really weak dimmensionierten welds of the main stand storage. Motorcycles are frequently seen to be affected by the fact that the rear wheel touches the ground, although the machine is on the main stand. However, this may be the cause, which are now no longer available and therefore must be produced at Yamaha also worn main stand bolts.
The supply of spare parts is guaranteed almost exclusively on the used parts market, original new parts are getting increasingly rare. Accessory suppliers can supply the parts recently also by markedly. Exceptions to usable form as used parts the fork tubes, which have their design any protection against stone chips and are therefore often leak at the fork seals.
Commercial fork protectors can not be used here because the factory fork stabilizer does not allow mounting. According rarely usable forks are used to get. New fork tubes are currently available only from a single vendor, which is why the prices are high.
Here you should definitely ask before buying such a machine appropriate advice.
The same is true now for the exhaust system. Were until recently Accessories plants, considering the part only half as high prices for original, a good alternative, almost all manufacturers have also set here almost overnight production. New Original Muffler Yamaha are no longer available, so good hand damper now ranked priced close to the original price of Yamaha.
Here comes a defective collectors to this often leads to economic total loss. This is especially the owners of the variant type 4BB, were for the time already stringent exhaust and noise emission values. For these machines, the selection of used mufflers is extremely limited, as not all accessories available facilities formerly owned also a type-approval of the version 4BB. In particular, the manufacturer Exhaust Sito completely divorced from here.
Used buyers should pay attention to intact, non-rusted exhaust systems (collector + muffler), as well as to intact fork tubes without stone chips or rust spots!
Occasionally the oil cooler at the terminals tend to hairline cracks in the flange. Sudden oil spill along the inlet and / or outlet line is the result. Used oil coolers are often already been damaged. They are too hard mounted to the hose connections, they tear at the next heating also.
New parts are no longer available in the original.
To get a realistic overview of the critical points of the XJ900 should therefore inform in advance the many Internet forums about this motorcycle potential buyers. Here you will often see extensive assistance to do it yourself repair commanded.
It was the first XJ900 in two variants
The originally attached to the front fork handlebar cover of F and caused problems initially suspension was upgraded to guarantee with holders for mounting on the frame, but later replaced by a half cowling.
