2000 Yamaha XJ 900 S Diversion remove ignition switch

SOURCE: Tyre pressures

Hi,

Offhand, the recommended tire pressure could be read on the tire itself. In most instances, this the tire pressure actually depends of:

• rider's weight, with or without passenger;
• rider's driving habits;
• type of road where the bike is often ridden;
• weather condition and ambient temperature.

Personally, I find a bit lower tire pressure on the front and standard or a bit harder at the back.

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

Have you had it serviced lately?? Is the oil the correct viscosity?? Have you changed the oil filter recently?? Mine went slightly noisey when I replaced the oil and filter, The oil I used was too thick, I`ve got 10W 40 in now, It`s run great since I changed it in April. Touch wood. Ian

There is a key lock on one side just below the side fairing. The ignition key fits it, unlock the seat and then lift from the back.

The forks hold 286ml or 9.67 US OZ of oil, best would be to use hydraulic oil.
Good Luck.
