morning all i have a 2001 tdm 850 and just recently have had problems with what i think is carb icing. the bike dosent respond to the throttle and feels like its running out of petrol. the thing is it starts fine runs fine and top end seems ok. the problem only occours about a mile or so into a journey and if your riding steady sometimes it cuts out if you have to stop for traffic lightsstarts again after a few minutes then its ok. has anyone else had this? regards twidge

hi martin the plot thickens. i had a word with my local yam dealer and hey presto the bike turns out to be a german import. the speedo has a mph card fitted in place of the kph one and hence with it being an electronic odometer that bit still reads in kilometers.

thanks for the reply but i topped the tank up when i bought the bike and unless someone breaks into my garage at night and gives me free petrol it is the only petrol i,ve put in the bike. the point i was trying to make is there something daft like hold the reset button on the trip down while you turn the ignition on and of to switch between miles and kilometers?

hi i,ve just bought a 2001 tdm 850. the speedo reads in mph and seems accurate but the trip meter seems to read in kilometers. can i reset this to work in miles? either that or i,m getting 270 miles to a tank full. thanks
