What grade of fork oil to use?

 

Should I spend SGD250 for the fork springs?

 

10WT gd enough (HyperPro),

not many adventure tourers around the carpark...so very easily noticable...

apart from mine...only got one gs1150 and the new tdm...

 

the rest are the usual suspects: sportsbikes, fazers, super 4s....

although there is a couple of RTs, a sportster and another rare ducati...

 

but not sure the tdm was there just to wash bike or waiting for friend parked at the washing bay...

Sat nite cannot...MHA confirm Opera...i am free the whole morning till 8pm....

i will be doing my XR and my TDM...my idling is off...

Normally,during warm-up,it would idle just below 1500rpm...then when its warmed,it will constantly stays at 1200-1100rpm...

 

but just these few days...during warm-up..it shots up to 1500rpm sometimes 1600rpm...even after the temp gauge has gone to more than 1/4,it stays that way...but as you start riding,and stop at traffic junction,it goes below 1000rpm...initially it will die....if i were to increase the idling even when its already warm up and hot,the idling will go so high...but if i reduce it a bit,it goes way too low...

i inquired from Carpe,

i need to do this.

2. Once the tank is up you need to remove the air filter box. I didn't remove this altogether, I just disconnected the hoses, undid the jubilee clips on the air intakes, and the securing bolt at the very front, then lifted it to one side.

 

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ET_TDM/PICT0031.jpg

 

you'll notice from the picture 1, that I placed a clean sandwich bag over the air inlets to the engine to keep any potential dirt/dropped screws etc out)

 

 

3. Now you can easily see the Fast Idle plunger. This is on the right hand side of the bike at the top of the throttle body (its the cleanest looking bit in the photo, at about "7pm").

 

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ET_TDM/PICT0032.jpg

 

Disconnect the two pipes, having something suitable to plug the ends (to save draining the coolant down)...BUT see below before you look for plugs. I ended up using a couple of 6.5mm twist drills (blunt end in, of course)

 

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ET_TDM/PICT0029.jpg

 

Now you will notice that you have just two screw to take out. Except...you will also notice that there is a radiator pipe in front of the screws. I got a ratchet with a 6.5mm socket and a screwdriver bit (philips), but it was far too tight to undo - I was beginning to damage the head. The only real way to get that out was confront it head on!

 

6. Drain down the coolant (don't bother with the plug screw on the water pump) just drain using the screw on the front of the cylinder block, this will get the coolant level low enough. Don't forget to catch the coolant in a clean container, ready to stick back in later.

 

7. Remove the offending pipe. Now wouldn't you think that would be easy. Two Jubilee clips and a bit of tug...but oh no! If you look here, you will see Mr Yamaha has carefully placed the jubilee clip facing downward, meaning no way to get a screw driver on it to undo. This was a careful shuffle with a small spanner...6mm (I think...I can't remember. sorry ), moving it 2 degrees at a time.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ET_TDM/PICT0028.jpg

 

8. Remove all the bolts that hold the radiator (no need to disconnect the rad altogether - removing these bolts the rad can just be dropped enough)

 

9. Now you can get to the screws from the front - here's how I did it...

 

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ET_TDM/PICT0023.jpg

 

10. And finally off comes the fast idle assembly...

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ET_TDM/PICT0016.jpg

 

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ET_TDM/PICT0020.jpg

 

and the offending part is this stainless steel pin. It was pretty solid, but lightly tapping it back and forth freed it up until I could push it out of the body (you need to take it out from the inside). This was then cleaned, and I used copperslip grease on the pin (I wondered whether it was genuinly road grome, or some electrolytic corrosion between the aluminium and the stainless that caused the partial seizure..??)

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ET_TDM/PICT0021.jpg

 

11. Sticking it all back together is pretty much the reverse of the above. I like to stick copperslip on everything as I replace to make next time easier. When you replace the radiator hoses, and bolt it all together, do remember to do up the jubilee clip otherwise coolant pisses out every where... ...then you have to take the tank off again, and the air filter box

 

One other point was I found it difficult to get the air box located onto the throttle body air intakes. In the end I split the box took out the airfilter so I could guide the rubbers over the intakes - lot easier.

 

 

 

[Oh and if you haven't done the airbox mod yet...now's a great time to do it.

 

 

Phew...hopefully it will work...
