Is the Yamaha XJ 600 S Diversion heavy compared with other Yamaha allround models?
Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 73rd weight percentile in its Yamaha category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
Does the Yamaha XJ 600 S Diversion weight change by model year?
Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
How much does the Yamaha XJ 600 S Diversion fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 4.49 US gal (17 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 27.9 lb (12.7 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Yamaha curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Yamaha XJ 600 S Diversion with an average-size rider?
