I'm home safe and sound. Very well behaved bike! I sat on it and did a few figure 8's to get used to the clutch and everything and was surprised at it's stability. It felt natural instantly. I didn't need any assistance, it didn't grumble on the gravel at all. I will be fitting a new screen ASAP though, I nearly pulled my head off doing a lifesaver on the M23! This one does have some low down snatchiness in the 2-3k rev range but I found that if you're careful and don't dump the clutch or throttle it's not an issue at all, so I think it will be something that comes as second nature after a couple of weeks. I think I could hear the air flap kicking in and out so I might try disconnecting/removing it fairly soon.

 

I even had an emergency stop on the way home..Some dick not looking pulled out without indicators in slow moving traffic on a dual carraigeway driving into Greenwich. It stops as quick as it goes!

 

I'm very pleased with it. Here we are at a pit stop.

you can tune out the snatchiness to a great extent, air flap mod, set up throttle bodies to max vacuum and balance, co settings. Don't over tighten the chain, it's supposed to have  50-60mm of slack. Pillion is very comfortable compared to a sports bike so the GF will be happy. Watch out she don't headbutt you on braking.

Hi everybody :cool:  

 

my name is Daniela and I live in Vienna/Austria. First - sorry for my english...I learned it at school long time ago and had not enough opportunities to make use of it.

I have done my driving license last year and start riding a bike on a Kawasaki ER 5.

One month ago I got a silver TDM 850 4TX, 2000, 30.000km. It belonged to a woman and is lower than normal. Perfect for short-legged people like me  :D

My husband had a blue-black 850 a few years ago and we both loved it.

Now he is riding a black 900 and also very happy.

TDM is the perfect bike - economical, flexible and powerful - not forgetting beautiful!

I hope my silver "Lady" and I will be very good friends and have a lot of fun and adventures.

 

Nice to be here....hope I will learn a lot about TDM and improve my english.

I´m glad to meet you here!...and maybe one day on the road?

 

greetings from good old Vienna

Dani

Hi, my names Bikemike and I'm an alc-   Oops, wrong forum  ;)

 

I thought I had better introduce myself properly, as opposed to bothering people about swingarms....

 

As some of you may recall, I am the proud owner of Jollgiants Mk1. While it was excellent when I got it I will be making a few minor mods, which I will detail when I have something worth showing.

I'm based near Southampton on the South coast and work as an AA patrol (so if you need breakdown cover let me know!)

 

Cheers,

Mike 


Need breakdown cover? P.m. me.
