bobalob5 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hi, I am Bob and live in Warrington, Cheshire and have just replaced my blue 04 reg TDM900 with a brand new TDM900 in white (its rained ever since I picked it up ) and had all my accessories swapped to my new bike.

bobalob5 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Just wondering if I smell or have said something wrong? I joined this group and introduced myself and not even a reply.

XTreme Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Unfortunately there's no large regular user group here these days Bob. More's the pity. Just a continual influx of dumbasses just asking one stupid question (usually about supercharging a fucking moped or something) and nothing else. Still.....good to see you! And nice TDM!

atlantasmittie84 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Sweet looking ride. Is that a twin or an I-4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobalob5 Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Hi Alan, if you are asking about the bike it is a Yamaha TDM900 which is a twin cylinder 900cc with five valve heads. They are good for around 130mph or 60mpg depending how you ride. If you are asking about the exhaust system it is the standard 2 into 2 which comes on this model.

towserr Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Can you say if you had any major problems with fitting the heated grips and hand guards ? Like the screen addition does it "work" as well as it looks? Certainly looks the "business" Regards, Towserr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobalob5 Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 The screen is the MRA touring screen and realy works great, have tried the yamaha tall screen and a double bubble but this one is leaps ahead of the others. the grips were swapped from my old 900 by the shop but I just fitted renthall bars so the had to come off and on and I had no problems. The hand guards I fitted to my old 900 and the job took less than an hour (had the groves machined in bar ends by a friend) and were cheep to, they are standard on Suzuki DL650 and come with fittng kit for £24.

Bob Hello Bob, Thanks for the info regarding the screen, it sounds promising and I think I might consider getting one of these plus the hand guards.
