Yo people, im 17 have been riding bikes since i was 8, i beleive im a competent and able rider. (Of course i think that) Basically i saw the TDM 850 (newer model) and thought that i should get a new bigger bike, after having done my full test of course. Any Advice on taking the full test would be great aswell by the way. As im under 21 or havent ridden with a full liscence for 2 years ill have to restrict my bike to 33bhp regardless of which bike it is, now at stock the TDM 850 has 80BHP, now ive been told that aslong as the bike has relative torque the restriction shouldn't present too much of a problem, however the TDM is quite a heavy bike, although i dont intend…

I know it was only sold in Canada for one year, 1992 Are there any members of the owners club with an 850 in Canada? or am I the only lucky one! I owned an 05 TDM900 in England, one hell of a bike. I wish I'd been able to fit it in my suitcase. OU55 FRD I miss you.

Going to be saying goodbye to my trusty wee Fazer 600 which I've thoroughly enjoyed throughout the even more satisfying 2 year restricted cc period (yeah, right) which is now over . I commute daily and use my bike when out visiting patients as part of my job. I really like the look of the TDM 900 as both a daily sommuter and occasional tourer. Was just keen to hear any thoughts on the bike as I'm unfamiliar with it and whether you'd recommend any accessories to enhance the experience ?? As always, cheers in advance

Hi All, My name is Peter and I have got a Vfr 750 for 5 years and I am in a process to have a look and possibly buy a 2002 TDM 900. What are the things I should look out? I do my own maintenance including valve clearance and almost everything on the bike. Is the reg/rec a problem on this bike? What about the cam chain tensioner? Is it durable and trusty part or needs changing every x miles? I had a cbr600 and the tensioner on that was awful. Apart from that I know the usual things to look out. I am sorry if thia has been discussed many times, but I used the search button and nothing came up. Thank you, Peter

Hi All, I have a 2003 TDM 900 that seems to have an overheating problem in slow traffic or after coming into slower traffic after a decent run. The fan seems to come on eventually but not until the temp ind is right up to the top of the gauge and can cut out on over temp'. Can anyone help with some ideas or tips, please? Many thanks, Chris

hello, i have just made an ebay purchase of a tdm850 3vd on a 96 plate, however i know that this is too late so it must have sat around for some years before being registered, i think it may be a 92... any ideas? the main reason i want to know is because i NEED a replacement exhaust as soon as possible (the stock doesnt do the engine any justice) so have to check out the compatibility with other years. there is a potential art race exhaust on ebay for the 2000 model but will it fit??? so if anyone can help or knows of an exhaust please let me know. many thanks- mat

Hi - I popped my 2000 TDM850 over to the local garage saturday and used the jet wash being very careful not to point it anywhere vital. Afterwards all was well (and clean), I lubed the chain, and took it out for a run and didnt have any problems. Didnt use it Sunday but this morning I started it with choke which normally runs the engine at an extra 500-1000rpm depending on how much choke. But...after about a minute, and without touching the choke, the engine slowed to normal idle. Once it warmed up I took the choke off and it sounded like it was running on one cylinder only and had to use the throttle to keep it running on both cylinders. I figured if it was moisture, the…

Heres some useful topbox info for TDM850 and probably topboxes generally. I bought my bike in October (just in time for winter!) and needed a topbox. Looked at Givi but didnt want to spend £200-£300 on Givi brackets, plate and box so managed to come up with a comprimise. The Givi brackets are essential as they are taylored to the bike and think they are the cheapest out there - about £80 from Mad4Bikes for TDM850. Fitting it isnt for the faint-hearted and be careful not to dismantle more than you have to - huh-hem! Givi sell a seperate plate (about £40) but i didnt need this in the end. The topbox i bought was a huge Tech7 48litre jobby which you can find on Amazon. For £…
