Hi, my first time on the forums and a newbie to the website but I am hoping that someone out there is able to help as I really want my bike back on the road!!
Last week my 2002 TDM 900 passed her MOT (having been fully checked over following the chain-tensioner sticking so the swing-arm had been taken off, sorted & returned). The next day my son took her out for a ride (as he does very occasionally). Here's his short review of what ended up as the Police blocking an entire lane (and being very chatty and friendly with my son), a £150 recovery & one very pi**ed off son & mum:
Bike started fine. A minute(ish) after dip beam failed so I presumed blown bulb & switched to main beam. All seemed ok but then bike cut out completely, seemingly all functions on right-had switch failed. Tried to re-start the bike but as if the kill-switch has been hit. After recovery & back in the garage ... it started just fine!
Friend & excellent mechanic has checked all connections & can't find anything wrong & doesn't want to take the control unit (or whatever the technical name is) apart as he's not familiar with this bit of kit - any suggestions?
I can't rider her unless I know it's not going to happen again.
Can someone help please???
Yours hopefully,
Sue
