are you the yellow bumblebee that i saw this morning?

 

i'm intending to use borderlinx services instead. VPost suck, lousy service + package always lost.

 

Would anyone be interested to import stuffs from PowerBronze for a start, we can share the shipping cost. Normally first 0.5KG is the most expensive.

I see so it's Takehow.

 

If i am not wrong, he is 1 of the most senior here?

 

Because I remember when i use to go for school i'd pass by Jalan Bahagia and i'd see his yellow TDM parked at the carpark.

 

 

yes i'm aware of that, because i've got my TDM from Ridesaddon. haha

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car

and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.

Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall,

torque is how far you take the wall with you.

TDM's FC is as good as a Version S but with the raw and untamed power that you don't get from Super4...

 

Infact, it's almost bullet proof... Look at TH's mileage and its still going strong...

 

To feel the ultra smooth engine of the twin, cruise around 4~5,000 rpm...

 

Above that, its an monster awaiting to be release from the dungeon...

yups have been reading up a couple of threads before i made my purchase. totally agree with what you have said.

 

power is great so far, comes after 3k rpm, it's almost throughout the range. just give it a twist and off it goes.

 

the 6th gear seems unneccessary for singapore roads, and half clutch must always be at 1st gear instead of 2nd, if not engine will die off..

Hi all Tdm riders,

Any particular best workshop /tech. know how shop do you guys always service your tdm.

I begining to doubt my regular motor worshop coz even the engine oil capacity he is not sure.

At first he was so confident that 3 litres/bottle is enough.

After the servicing,my red light on the rpm meter light on.

So i came back to tell him.He took 2 long hours just to check the engine oil capacity.

He ask at least 3 shop /agent ,all giving different answers.some 3.2,3.5 & 3.9.

At last fed-up,i ask him to up 1litre more make it 4 litres all together.

The red light is off ,so i assume is enough.

Do you guys have any manual or answers to the correct engine oil capacity?

 

Thanks.

from the owner manual/service manual:-

Interval oil change,

Without oil filter element replacement 3.8 L

 

With oil filter element replacement 3.9 L

 

 

due to TDM is using dry sump lubrication,

need some "special skill" to fill up the EO. (read the owner manual carefully)

owner manual u can get here :)
