Technical Highlights & Model Evolution
The XJ600 series features a 598cc DOHC air-cooled inline-four engine tilted 35 degrees forward to lower the center of gravity. This design allows for straight inlet tracts and downdraft Mikuni carburetors, a technology derived from the high-performance Genesis-engined FZR series.
This manual documents the specific changes throughout the production run:

- Braking Systems: Comprehensive coverage of both the single front disc and the later twin front disc brake setups.

- Engine & Transmission: Complete teardown and rebuild procedures for the six-speed constant-mesh gearbox and the rubber-mounted engine.
- Fuel System: Detailed carburetor synchronization using vacuum gauges and float level adjustments.
- Chassis & Suspension: Servicing the 38mm telescopic front forks (including oil level measurements) and the rear Monoshock linkage.
- Wiring Diagrams: Full-color schematics to help you troubleshoot electrical issues quickly.
Identification & Technical Data
To ensure you are ordering the correct parts, this manual explains exactly where to find your motorcycle's identification numbers:
- Frame Serial Number: Stamped into the steering head and printed on a label on the right front portion of the frame.
