The '''[[Yamaha]] XJ550''' was a in-line four, [[four-stroke]] Naked [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Yamaha]] between 1981 and 1984. It could reach a top speed of 109 mph (176 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 30.98 ft/lbs (42.0 Nm) @ 7500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 48.95 HP (36.5 KW) @ 9000 RPM. 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 57.0mm [[bore]] x 51.8mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 528.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). 
==Drive==
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-plate. 
==Chassis==
It came with a 3.00-19 front [[tire]] and a 110/90-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a expanding [[brake]] in the rear. The front suspension was a  Telescopic Coil Spring Forks while the rear was equipped with a Swinging Arm With Dual Dampers Adjustable For Preload.

The XJ 550 was launched in 1981. The Yamaha XJ 550 Seca was also well-equipped, with features you’d expect only on bigger, costlier bikes: self-canceling turn signals; a clutch/neutral electrical interlock that prevented the Seca being ridden away with the sidestand down by killing the engine if you shifted into first before lifting the stand.
