Talk:Yamaha Diversion

Should these two be split into SecaII and Diversion? I don't know about Europe, but here in the US no one has heard of the Diversion. There are also some differences in the models. . . In the US the bike was made/sold from '92-'98, where as the Euro Diversion was manufactured till 2003. The second disc brake that was put on all Diversions post 96 never appeared in the US models (same with the oil cooler). There were also 3 distinct models of fairing/headlight unit that occured from 92-98 on the US Seca's. The options, colors, and graphics also differ by year between the US and Euro models. There is also apperently a different chain tensioning system on non-US bikes. In the US the only model that was available was the semi-faired XJ600S. No Naked (XJ600N) nor larger displacement (XJ900 or XJ600S) versions were ever offered in the US. The US model also decendes from the FJ600 Radian (instead of the XJ-series which in the US was used for cruiser models (XJ750/XJ650) and Turbo (650 Seca Turbo) assisted motorcycles). Although the two bikes (Diversion [600cc faired model] and the Seca II) are closely related, the two are not the same. The Seca II is not part of the "Yamaha Diversion Series". Also the fact that Seca II owners probably haven't ever heard of a Diversion.

There is no information about Diversion 400, produced for japanese domestic market. 217.199.109.67 11:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I will look into that when I do the rewrite later this week. BMan1113VR 22:07, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

What about the Diversion 400cc which I have? This is an XJ400S I think.

I'd say that since the Seca and the Diversion are pretty much the same (they're both XJ600's), there should be either an XJ series article, or articles for XJ600, XJ400, XJ900, etc... --Pete Wall (talk) 01:29, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

List of clubs
ELNO makes it pretty clear that links to forums don't belong. And FIVE separate links to the same forum? On top of three other links, two of which are also forums? What is the justification?--Dbratland (talk) 00:10, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree that the Diversion/Seca should be dropped into a sub-topic of XJ600S, then the differences between Secas and Diversions can be detailed. Idrivea911 (talk) 19:08, 30 September 2009 (UTC)idrivea911 30SEP2009

Discontinued Date
I notice that on the article, it states that: 'Diversion models were manufactured from 1992 to 2003', however, Motorcycle News states that it was discontinued in 2004. (see http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/bikereviews/searchresults/Bike-Reviews/Yamaha/Yamaha-XJ600-Diversion-1992-2004/ . Please could somebody verify this? Rpullen (talk) 12:57, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * There is a difference between that calendar date on which the production stops at the factory, and the date on which the bike stops being commonly available in dealer showrooms. This can be further complicated by countries such as the USA which use model years. Where articles mix real dates with model years it can be a source of confusion for the reader. This is where good, reliable references are needed. MCN, to my mind, are a reputable source - not least because they publish a factual motorcycle newspaper every week to a large readership. --Biker Biker (talk) 15:44, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Main Picture
Maybe we could have a main picture of a bike that DOES NOT have a flat tire? Just saying... I think the bike is worth a better picture than that barn find. No offense to the owner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.189.200.114 (talk) 18:15, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
