keithg Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 has anyone had probs with snatchy throttle on tdm 900 I know its injected but its realy like an on off switch any mods about ? Hi I have the same problem but think its due to being injection. I am going to fit a pair of race pipes, k and n filter, then a power commander, it aint cheap but will sound and run a lot better from the many mechanics i have spoken to about this problem. Also as its a twin it shows even more when in traffik, pity i cant afford to do it till next month cos im riding to africa on it in two weeks!!!!! if you hear of an alternative, im all ears!!

keithg Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 has anyone had probs with snatchy throttle on tdm 900 I know its injected but its realy like an on off switch any mods about ? Hi Damuso I would like to correct my response the other day !!!! this goes to all tdm 900 owners. I brought my TDM 900 (02 plate) last year and have covered 10,000 miles since including a trip to morocco and back last year. Im off again in two weeks to marakesh. Had a 25K service last thursday thinking the bike might be less snatchy but still the same. Spoke to orwell motorcycles of ipswich saturday and asked about the snatchy throttle problem which has been there since day one. They checked the frame number and informed me that yamaha issued a recall last november for the free replacement of the throttle sensor. This is a known problem which is sorted easily, (approximatly 1/2 hour job) original 1st owners were contacted, but if you brought 2nd hand you may not have been. Bowyers of bury st edmunds could get the bike in sooner so being sorted next week. Apparently the new sensor completely transforms the bike and smooths out the snatchy throttle issue. If you phone a yamaha dealer with your bikes details their system will tell you if your bike was affected and also if it was ever sorted!!! this has just saved me the cost of a power commander and end cans etc.. . although i now have to find a new excuse to put the pipes on, still it will save me wobbling gingerly round roundabouts and filtering. Hope this helps !!!!!!!! and sorry for talking sh%&e before!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisandmatt Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Go to the Carpe TDM site, there is a simple mod to the airbox that sorts it out perfectly! I was ready to sell my TDM then I found this mod and I love it! Takes 10 mins, honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRJ999 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 My '02 TDM had this problem and I had the throttle sensor replaced under warranty this year, despite the bike's age. Should be worth asking your nearest dealer as a starting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGreyWizard Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I carried out the Carpe TDM Mod on my TDM900, It has transformed the bike. As another TDMer said "The bike always felt in the wrong gear in traffic", the TDM is now so much smoother after the Mod has been done. Every TDM 9 owner should do it.

TKH Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 There are other mods you can do as well. This is from the Carpe forum posted by JBX Try this : - engine idle : 1200 rpm or more - CO setup : The adjustment of the idle mixture is one of the engine operation parameters controled by anti-pollution standards (EURO2 / EURO3). Compliance with these standards requires a lean mixture corresponding to less than 1% of CO, while the requirement of a better driving capability involves a richer mixture with a CO level ranging from 3% to 6%. (quoted from my site) - throttle cable free play - chain slack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barturas Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 so google gives you this thread when you look for "snatchy throttle" but nobody in this thread posted a link to this magical airbox mod, so I did the research I found this link. It's awesome, lots of useful info: http://tdm-yamaha.890m.com/index.php?page=AIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
