Yamaha SRX6 1986
'Good looking retro before retros where popular, styled on 60's cafe racers. Basically it was Yamaha's twin carb XT600 single cylinder engine bored out to 608cc in a road going twin steel cradle frame with numerous FZ600/RD cycle parts of the time. Launched in 1985 it was a big thumper single cylinder bike with kick start, 18' wheels, clip-ons, no fairing, round headlight, twin shocks and silver paint. Although later '90's models went to 17' wheels, monoshock, electric start and had a much revised frame/style. Mine was a japanesse import which differed from the UK spec in that it had Ohlins supension, twin discs and different pillion peg arrangement. Mine was a bit of dog when I got it at 10yrs old, but cleaned up well. Proved reliable when carbs overhauled, with ride quality being quite good if now outdated but it still looks nice enough.' "

Welcome to Srx400.co.uk Interesting articles: "Interesting article about The much loved Yamaha SRX400 motorcycle
written by Andrew Preece


There are many strange things about motorcycling: for instance I had owned a Triumph 900 Sprint
from new for six years. A fabulous beast of a bike with a lusty and tuneful triple engine at
the heart of it�s appeal, but something was missing. Can�t really put my finger on it, but the
link between the big Triumph and me simply had not been forged. The result of this was less
than 3,000 miles covered in those years and when somebody came along and offered me a
reasonable price for her I took it. Now what is worse than having a bike that you haven�t
�clicked� with? That�s right, having no bike at all!
An old mate pointed out an add in UBG for an SRX400, it was a local number so what the hell?
Before I knew it a 1986 Yamaha SRX400 grey import was sitting where once my mighty Triumph had
resided. So a 16 year old (and somewhat frayed around the edges), single was to be summer
machine. The bloke selling it had wanted over �800 but after a bit of haggling we settled on a
price somewhere well south of that! So my superbike was gone, but there was a smile on my face,
Like I said, biking can be a strange thing.

The SRX 400 is a light and nimble almost caf� racer style of road bike, with more than a whiff
of �spot the RD common cycle parts� about it. Its heart is a lovely single developed from the
XT500 lineage, which is superb around town, and also the twisty lanes."

This website was developed over a year ago to help supply information about the Yamaha Srx400 motorbike. I was originally disappointed at the lack of information about this bike. So I decided to develop This website & find information and share it with other srx400 owners. To my surprise this website has done very well in the last year. Many srx400 owners have gladly contributed information to help this site."
