About the Yamaha YX600 Radian
Radian is the name to recognize; YX600 and the year are the details to order by.
The Radian name appears in Yamaha’s 1986 parts catalog alongside YX600S and YX600SC. This page brings that familiar name together with the YX600 code used in the parts listings. The linked YX600 page provides a more focused route into the same motorcycle’s applications.
Start a Radian restoration with an inspection of the fitted engine, forks and brakes, and record any changes from standard equipment. Group the parts order by job: engine gaskets, fork oil seals, rear drum shoes, disc pads and clutch plates. The application table keeps their different year ranges visible so a wider chassis application does not carry over into the engine order.

These examples explicitly list YX600 applications. Read each range rather than treating 1986–1990 as blanket coverage: the selected gasket set covers 1986–1987, the clutch plate covers 1986–1989, and the listed brake and fork parts cover 1986–1990.

Identify the fitted equipmentIdentify your Radian restoration project
- Confirm the YX600 model code and year rather than relying on the Radian tank badge alone.
- Record the full model and market suffixes shown in the motorcycle’s identification and matching documentation.
- Check whether the engine, forks, calipers or wheels have been changed; photograph their markings and the removed parts.
- Compare each product’s own year range, dimensions and package contents before combining several repairs into one order.
