Got me a TDM900 with ABS. :D

 

20230429_113222.jpg
 
Runs and rides, although I've only rode it 60 yards, in reasonably decent condition tbh. 47,000 miles.  Chain and rear brake were quite rusty so I've cleaned them up a bit. Rear suspension linkage looks very rusty so I'll be sorting that out soon. Flaky engine paint and a dented right side exhaust can but other than that, all good. 
Oh,and  some previous owner has attempted to modify the seat foam and I just know the shap edges are going to cut off my circulation at some point.
All panels are scratch free, rear tyre great, Mick fitted a new front tyre. CSM works.  Predator cans sound awesome :yeahbaby:
 
No fault codes but I do have the ABS light flashing, then not flashing.  Thinking its probably an electrical connector.
 
MOT on Tuesday, wish me luck.

Regarding ABS light flashing, mine did that after running the bike in gear on the centre stand (after chain replacement), which freaked me out, but I took the bike for a short ride and all came good (warning went off). My theory was that software couldn't fathom one wheel stationary and another rotating. (That's what I told myself anyway). Member Riggers did a post about freeing rear suspension.

Interesting.  That's what's happening to mine.  Will take it for a good run before my MOT on Tuesday.
