just got back from Hat Yai road trip with a group of frens. sharing my first exp of a long trip with my TDM 850. felt the seat was great for long distance, didnt feel a slightest butt cramp along all the ride.. i rode my TDM with a worm patched rear tyre to and fro hatyai traveling at 140km/h-160km/h to and 170km-180km/h back, with 3 fully loaded box and a pillion.

the bike did not have any problem. just did a top up of 0.4l of engine oil on the way back.

 

Just one thing, i think the stock lights are not bright enuff, will be changing to brighter or HID lights soon..

 

Im loving this bike!

Hi all,

 

Same here just got back from Cameroon highlands and KL on my TDM 850. Great ride till i reach the base of Cameroon, i use the OLD Road up to take some challenges and it is True my Hands got cramp 3/4 way up which is 50km. Too many turns and LORRIES (Aviod). 850 i can say is better than Honda AT (Vibrator) for Touring. I changed my Head light to HID and i can say it is hell lot Brighter than the Stock. I'm Loving it.

Hi, i'm so happy to have found this site and this thread. I'm from Greece, but been living in Scotland for 6 years. 2 1/2 years ago married a Singaporean and just moved to Singapore last week. Because of this move i had to sell my beloved '03 TDM 900 that I've been using since 2003 and loved every second of it. Any suggestions on what's the best way to get back piloting one of these amazing machines?

Would really appreciate any feedback.... Thanks

 

Yo. Welcome back. I think there's one or 2 TDM 900s on sale in the forum rite? Just do a search.

 

 

Hmm..I think it's time for a meet up. This friday? Where shall we go? Or sat/sun morning go trailing? heee. I got my bike back from the shop. Still haven't fix but buey tahan need to ride. Vespa no power.

Just got my '03 TDM abt a week ago ..... can't wait for my riding trip with my frens some time next week. I rode my TDM up to Malacca on sun nite @ 2300 hrs(touch n go) . . . it was really foggy at times and the stock headlights did not help at all ! How much does the HID lights cost ? Anyway, the bike was excellent ! !

I rode up at 0230am the HID can really Shoot far (15m) and wide (10m).

 

Bought it at Lim Batt and co eastlink industrial estate blk 3018 #02-23 at Bedok North st5. Contact richard 63381138. This shop sell alot of funny lights batt etc. HID whole set is $115, on my high Beam i change to H3 $9.50 very bright and my small top light is a LED bulb $9.50 very bright too. For installation call ALex 91873041 for appoinment which he can meet u at the shop and install there and than. Chargers around $30-$50 depend on the difficulty but TDM is easy to install he charge me $30.

AJ, is the high exhaust mount high enough for you?

[AJ..]

hello all of you new and old friends....i just come back down to Earth doing nothing this long weekend...the TDM is not moving at all....its only XR and domi...

 

pretty boring holiday weekend i must say...just slacking around...

 

and this downtime with this website is very irritating too...

 

However,great to see more new TDMers chatting now...

 

 

 

P.S. I don't ride more than 160km/hr nowadays...signs of aging...

[AJ..]

hahahhaa... it a milestone all married men will have to take... sooner or later, you will be only able to keep 2 bikes... whahha...

 

then you will only be able to ride light off road trails, no hardcore MX, no races, no jumps...

 

riding will come in last place, if there is family events or anything else, no riding on weekends...

 

Welcome to the club man!
