DescriptionThe whole story▼
A naked XJ6 has nowhere to hide an original fluid reservoir. That is what the OBT007 does — 16 cm³ of fluid behind billet aluminium, 106 g on the bike. Anodising runs to 8 colours on the OBT007. It changes the part of the XJ6 the rider looks at most.
Key Features
- The mounting bracket is a separate LighTech item — see the note below
- Made in Italy
- 16 cm³ capacity — the figure to check against your XJ6 master cylinder
- Supplied individually for the XJ6
- 106 g in place of the original box
- Laser-engraved LighTech logo on the shell
Why the Original Falls Short
Brake fluid absorbs water, which is why the level and the colour are worth seeing. At 16 cm³ the OBT007 matches the capacity the original reservoir of the XJ6 carries. At 106 g it weighs about what the plastic original does.
Mounting It
Allow half an hour on the XJ6 including bleeding. Use fresh fluid of the grade the XJ6 specifies, not what is left in the bottle. Nothing on the XJ6 is drilled or cut.
Application
LighTech catalogues the OBT007 for the XJ6 (2008 to 2016). Treat the XJ6 fitment as an application note rather than a guarantee of a drop-in position.
What You Get
LighTech ships the OBT007 complete except for the mount. The part number is all you need to quote for a repeat order on the XJ6.
Looking After It
Brake fluid attacks paint and anodising alike, so wipe spills off the XJ6 immediately. Otherwise it is a fit-and-forget item on the XJ6.
Order This With It
The OBT007 arrives as a tank and a cap, nothing else. LighTech offers a front bracket (OBT008) and a rear one (OBT009), plus the OBT003 support, and all three are black only. Ask us before ordering and we will match the bracket to your XJ6.
Road Use and Approval
A fluid reservoir is part of the braking system, and German law treats it that way. No approval paperwork comes with the OBT007 and we do not present it as approved. Track-only machines raise no approval question; a registered XJ6 does.
