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!!

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!!
