Yamaha TDM 900

[kmax]

erm guys any particular parts to really look out for in maintaining e bike? i only know about engine oil and stuffs like tat..

how to check if the fuel injection is in good condition, coolant, radiator and etc, those complicated things about the bike.

previous owner send me a softcopy of a manual on the ins and outs of the bike, but i dun quite understand it, adjustments

can be made on the damping of the fork and suspension i believe? experts out there need ur guidance

 

1. engine oil.. oil filter.. spark plug... just regular stuff like that same as any other bike.

2. coolant, just flush and change once a year.

3. front fork can tune the soften or harden with flat head screw driver just easy to play around .. nothing will go wrong.

* i have not tried to play around with rear suspension.

4. TDM can tune CO ratio (fuel mixture rich or lean) and TPS (throttle position sensor) by dashboard.

read through the manual for diagnosis section.

or try to look for yellow TDM at LC food court ..

valuable inputs bro thanks. where's LC food court btw?

[Paikia44]

not H&B. they use Touratech design.. even the name is Tourfella...

 

they also have smaller / slimmer version.

 

TH is planning to get the small one too.

 

Nice!! I prefer something not wider than 10" perferably. So far the slimmest is the Givi but i'm hoping for some other designs. I'm even thinking of getting saddlebags...

[Paikia44]

Bro, the SPF TDM is for real?? I didnt know they are now into TDMs.. I have yet to see one..

 

...or is it an edited photo?

 

I don't think thats the real mccoy.

[vtr firestorm]

Bro Mac, you got lobang for installation ? Can add me in too ? I don't think I would want to DIY on that...

 

So will be ordering from this ebay seller as recommend by Spenx75... ard $55 approx (will update once transaction . . .

 

 

Bro Glenn . . .

 

Count me in ! Let me know any further details n will pass u e $$ once u conspermed e deal .

 

Wat I meant abt e $90/- china ones . . . . is dat a particular bike shop I always go to is selling e same china make rear disc at $90/- bucks including installation . If we can get ours cheaper, I'll talk to e boss abt e installation fees unless Bro Alvin wanna help us fix e discs on our bikes . . . hahaha !

 

 

Ps : If Bro Alvin says its good n it works than surely can buy n use cos he always travel very very fast n surely he needs a good braking systems !

 

 

Both me & kmax balls r big enough to try it on the rear,,, we reckon we r front braking heavy person hence to front rotors best to use a good &

expensive one. The cheap rear infact work very will,,,, i slip a new SBS standard street pad & it brake fxxking well. But it also depand on if ur

current brake piston O-ring is working well cos rubber will aged with time. Im also using steel brake horse added on stock Sumimoto brake system

of yammies....... the best brake both front & back i ever have, much better than Honda to my own point of view.Cos tried couple of BB,,,,,, knn

my nuts drop-off cos most of them the rear is a huge crap!!! yammies rear is as gd as their front!!!!!

I think most of us having issue with the rear brake disc cos of the single piston brake caliper... The outside where the piston is, will be subject to higher pressure, thus wear out faster than the one internally...

 

So I think this is the design issue that causes the uneven wear of the rear brake disc... Most of us are front brake user, take a look at the front disc, the condition is still very good...

Well , e leak is not dat bad but I wash my chain regularly especially e front sprocket areas . Lately , found black oil, grease n grime at dat particular area . Went to bike shop to have it checked n was infd dat e cause was a busted starter motor o-ring . E problem is dat when u remove e said o-ring , ur engine oil will oso come out . Tough luck for me cos just changed engine oil abt 447 km ago !

 

Will check wif AM tomoro n let u guys know e cost .

Bro care to share with a pic ? It will tells a thousand words...

 

Wow... wonder who opens up the front sprocket areas for washing ?

 

I've did it once right after I take over the bike which was last Aug. Further more, in that area was so messy, dirts, grease, grime... Yuckies.... Still can spot engine oil leaking, Bro Mac, you are the man ! SALUTE !!!
