I am going to teach my 900 ('02) to ride better on gravel an therefore I want to make some mods: to add handlebar risers and some protection for sumps.

For risers I found SW-Motech. Does anybody have any experience with handlebar riser (SW-Motch or some other name) and how much lift can I expect without new cables and wires.

For sump protection I have no ideas at all. Any sugestions?

PS. Already changed rear sprocket from 42 to 43 and made some mod for air intake on low revs. good.gif

I'm sure you're not the only one interested in that. I know I am...

Suzuki SV650S '01
Yamaha TDM900 '04

Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré '08 + Yamaha TRX850 '97

I'll let go of my throttle when they pry it from my cold, dead hands...

Dont know if a XTZ750 sump guard will fit with modifications, but you will need semi/off road tyres aswell if you wana stay upright

Looked at the Nippy Normans ones but I don't want them set back as well, especially not for £35 too blink.gif . Any linkies for the risers in Niksa's post?

Yeah, let's hear about bashplates yahoo.gif yahoo.gif yahoo.gif
Red and black '96. Blue spot Thunderace calipers with braided two-line front hoses - 'kin brill. 17 incher out front. Renthal street/trail bars - vibe free. 1150GS brush guards. HIDs - niiiiice. Stebel Magnum - crikey. Nonfango hard luggage. Nexxus. SW-Motech center stand. Had a Powerbronze tall screen - too noisy - went back to standard.

Stealth Diamond Black 900 with lurvely black frame. GS brush guards. HotGrips on a relay - cos I keep forgetting. SW-Motech center stand and engine bars. LED rear light. Vario set to min. 17 incher. PR2s.

All now a fond (very fond) memory. Maybe again some day.

I don't know if the 850 one will fit ,but if someone with a 900 wants to try I'll loan them mine. But personally I don't think it would be up to much in the way of protection. other option is to speak to a local fabricator. Touratech do sump guards but not for TDM's

WHATCH OUT

Your TDM900 rim sizes are outside these tyre recommendations...

Both TDM900 rims are 0.5" wider and tyre profiles will be flated!

Yes I know that.

Original tyres are 120/70 for front and 160/70 for rear. Until today I have allways used rear tyre 150/70 (not Anakee but Bridgestone BT). It has worked perfect even if the tyre is flatter than original. For me 150/70 is good enough because even with that tyre I have normally about 1 cm "chicken stripes". huh.gif

As for front tyre I am going to use 110/80 (instead of 120/70) so I guess the flattening efect will be also not so critical.

that mk1 bashplate on ebay could be made a lot stronger with a little bit of extra alloy welded on to it.But am i right in thinking its a 900 rider wanting one ? so in the long run maybe better to make one yourself.
