Almost 100 miles, the YBR125 sipped it's way through £3 worth of fuel, while the TDm didn't do too badly either considering the lower average speeds

Quote:Picked up the 4TX from Pabroom's today...I now have a '91 mk1,  '99 4tx and '04 9er !

 

mk1 will be going soon, the 900 will be my go to bike until the 4TX is sorted, I prefer the mk1/4tx geometry to the 9er,
perhaps if i did a lot of motorway miles I might prefer the 900.

 

Anyway I've got a winter project for sure !

Quote:put my standard cans back on and did the airbox mod again(reversed it for its first service)

Quote:Did you find the airbox mod worked. It made mine virtually unrideable, jerky and very rough when starting. Its a 2007 ABS model

Quote:Best mod you can do on a 900, done my 2003 and a completely different bike. I done the air box pipe, pulled it off from the air flap & put a self tap screw in it

Quote:Well it didnt work on mine. 2007  ABS  like i said. difficult to start and very jerky, pop bang, put it back and it purrs. I think the later bikes are not as bad as the early ones, i certainly wouldnt recommend it.  And for those who think i am incompetant, I removed the wire from the ECU as described on here and put it back as a reverse of the procedure, not really rocket science, the hardest part was removing the side panel

Quote:richierex,

 

If you do the airbox mod like JBX, then nothing can go wrong.

 

After you did the JBX mod on your airbox, you can modify the cover of your airbox

like I did and many other people.

All bikes run better with the modified airbox on the TDM 900

Until now I fixed 18 bikes and all of them run much better and smoother

New and better air filter, and modified airbox cover.

I did the mod 3 on my bike plus mod. air box cover, plus Co setting higher from 14 to 54 on both cylinders 

My bike runs very smooth and strong in very low rpm ( from 1200 rpm to the red sone)

No jerkynis or on of effect in low rpm.

I also removed my katyllic converters from my stock exhaust.

You can do it yourself, use the info from this site and from the JBX site.

Mod number 3 remove it al and modify the airbox cover, also remove 10cm foam on each site to get more air.

Use the info on this forum and you will be oke with your bike.

Put your Co settings around 25 or 30 on both cylinders with stock exhaust, with open exhaust go higher in your Co settings

You have the same ECU like I do, new model from 2007 to 2012.
