How big is the tank on a Yamaha xj550?
The worst figure was 48mpg and that included the 90-100mph blat to catch the ferry. The best of 62mpg was clocked when cruising mostly at an easy 50mph on the return from Le Mans in the company of a dead bike being towed. Yamaha claim the tank capacity is 3V2 gallons which means that reserve is just over a gallon.
How big is the wheelbase on a Yamaha XJ?
Like the RD350LC, the XJ has that twitchy feel to the steering that comes with a fairly short wheelbase of 55 inches and which reacts quickly to both rider and road inputs. I like that light steering feel which makes a mid-weight bike so chuckable and the XJ’s excellent weight versus bulk balance encourages this.
Where did John Hunter get the Yamaha xj550?
Drive 110 miles back to Herbal Hill where, at 6.30pm, an impatient John Hunter was waiting with the XJ550 Yamaha which he’d kindly collected for me from Mitsui earlier that day. Discover that the bike’s registration number is different from the one told to me earlier that week by Mitsui and that my Green Card insurance was therefore null and void.
