Yamaha Other description

Offering an excellent shape recently gone through TDM850.  These are extremely reliable bikes,  once a few upgrades are done.   Most owners won't sell a TDM until it has 30,000 or 40,000 miles or more.

Bought a nice, low miles TDM850 that had sat a bit,  and been layed over one time lightly.  I went through the bike front to back.   Bike only has light rash,  replaced upper fairing, added sport windshield added height.  Replaced tires are brand new Road Pilot 3s.   Less than 250 miles on tires.   Replaced fork oil and upgraded stock fork springs with progressive firmer springs.  Much improvement in handling.  Pulled fuel tank -  flushed tank out and cleaned,  tank inside almost perfect.  Pulled and disassembled carbs,  replaced needle jets,  upped main jet, jetted well.  replaced air filter, added dual fuel in-line filters.   

The TDM 850 main weakness is the mechanical fuel pump and the carbs sit higher than the tank fuel level when fuel is low.   With the mechanical pump if you run a TDM out of fuel,  it takes a ton of cranking or re-prime to re-start,  way too much hassle.  Solution is to replace the fuel pump with an electric pump R6 type.  This made a world of difference the bike fuels more evenly,  and no issues if you ever run it out,  it self-primes and restarts no issue.   Nice tank and OEM seat.

Replaced the stock, heavy, rust-prone steel exhaust system with big heavy under bike collector box, with a Euro Viper 1-into-2 dual canister slip on-system.  Eliminated 15 lbs weight,  much improved exhaust flow and throttle response,  nice subdued but throaty sound, but not droning or loud at all.   Removable sport baffles if you want an even throatier sound. Very nice looking canisters go with bikes lines.

Overall this is the original "Adventure Tour" bike, and many have copied it.   This bike is low miles and set up correctly for many trouble free miles, and has a very nice upright riding position, comfort and performance, great handling, and good power.   You will NOT be disappointed with a TDM 850,  They have produced them in Europe for years.

Lorenzo And Rossi Unveil Yamaha MotoGP 2014 Livery

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Yamaha’s official MotoGP outfit unveiled the team’s official 2014 livery in front of a packed audience in Jakarta, Indonesia. The team’s two factory riders, Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi, were on hand to proudly showcase their YZF-M1 motorcycles. As expected, blue, Yamaha’s factory color, plays a major role in the color scheme, but unlike last year where it was the dominant color, it is equally offset by contrasting white swaths on the upper fairing, fuel tank, and throughout the lower fairing.

Thu, 22 Mar 2012

Yamaha has pulled the covers off the 2012 edition of its YZR-M1, the machines which racers Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies will ride to compete in the 2012 MotoGP World Championship. While last year’s M1 was predominantly blue, the new 1000cc version of the M1 sports more white paint with wide bands of Yamaha blue on the front fairing and along the side, flowing along the line of the seat. Like most MotoGP squads, Yamaha doesn’t want to be too specific about its MotoGP bike’s potential, estimating the power output from the crossplane crankshaft engine at over 240 hp.
