Yamaha TDM picture thread.

Here are a TDM i had a couple of years ago, pretty nice bike for touring, -03 model sold brand new in -05, i bought it in the spring of -07with 3400 km on the speedo and put another 6000 km on it before i sold it the same year, was just not my kind of motocycle.

Nice engine but i think i should have some moore tork in the low end. Changeing/shifting gear, up and down all the time, isn´t what i want. No tork at all under 5000 rpm. The bike handles really well and the brkes from the early R1 does it job very well.

If Yamaha just would to build that Super tenere, this engine rebulit with bettter low end tork, tubular steelframe, 18" rear, 21" in front, 180 kg and so on... ......yummie My god what at sweet ride it could be, come on Yamaha. GoGoGo!

well...looks like you're a certified to do some posting now...

so you're a 900 parallel twin believer....should have dual sports tyres...you will have more fun....

Lol , thanks AJ.

Tyres and engine bars are next on the list.

Hey dude...

there's this aussie dude who also rode the same colour as yours who has done some serious mods on the fork and wheels...but i still have yet to hear any progress....do you happen to know him somehow?

No but I'd really like to know how it turned out.

I just saw a thread on the Carpe site about someone snapping the lower shock mounts off their bike. I know of another one in Oz that the same thing has happened. But the bike was ridden very hard off road. Makes me wonder if that's the weak spot in turning a TDM into a full off roader.

Folks,

has someone ever replaced the headers of a TDM with the Super Tenere's to install high muffler?

Thx

well...not really did the headers,but i did try with the mufflers...





but the finish was'nt very promising that i re-do its original state...maybe when i can do with a stainless steel product...might do it again...

I got to deliver it to the Far Cairn Rally last year.

Less than a couple of weeks to this years Far Cairn now.

Al

Best bike I ever owned ,don't know why I never replaced it after I crashed it. I've got a 990SM now.

hi folks

Recently got my '08 TDM 900, some four months ago, and now I'm working on fitting the bike for a little bit of more off road action Here are some pictures from a recent short Raid we did to Illapel... Here's the post to that Trail Route http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=552748



And going in and out of bad rocks and lousy roads and tunnels...


Hey, wait a second, that's me!


Best Regards!

Nice bikes, gentlemen! sure wish Yamaha would bring these back into the States....

G'day,
here I am in New South Wales' main mountain range (hills to some) The Great Dividing Range. Specifically, I'm descending eastbound along the Oxley Highway and have just left the highest legal speed zone (just 110kph), ten minutes to the west of me.
Oh dear, 45km of those bothersome bends... The things we Aussies have to endure!

Was that you going east past Moonans Flat one Friday evening 4/5 weeks ago?
