Jumped on it and rode up to Tyndrum, Green Welly stop, than back via Loch Lomond, Dumbarton and Glasgow. 180 miiles behind a friend who was running in a brand new Triumph Tiger 800 so no speed records were under threat, seemed to be on for 210miles to the tankful, not bad considering the climbs into the headwind we experienced.
Â
The Oxford heated grips with automatic switch off are wired directly to the battery and they haven't drained the battery while the bike was sat doing nothing for 3 weeks, so I'm happy with that

You Lucky man
Feels like months since I've been up that way
Hopefully I'll get a chance before end of year to have a little run up that way
Just need to replace the r/hand H T Lead first

I've promised it I'll fit a new camchain since rolling over the 100,000 mile mark, so i've got some work to do too....will look at the valve clearances while I'm at it

Hi all I'm new to the tdm but looking forward to riding my new bike regards Tony
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - Andy25 - 24-12-2017

Both of which were purchased back in July

I replaced the dashboard light bulbs, one had failed, the other was on its way out. What a fiddly and time consuming job. Anyway, all back together now and looking nice and bright.
I had a good laugh to myself halfway through removing the front cowling, one of the mounting points had obviously cracked in the past and had been repaired and reinforced with a bit of a plastic 6" ruler. What a bodger I thought and was a tad disappointed as the bike was immaculate when I bought it and didn't look like it had ever been dropped. Then I remembered it was me that did it following a zero MPH drop about two years after I bought itÂ
I've had the bike since June 2006 and I've obviously starting to forget what work I've done to it in the past :rotflmmfao: .

crikey i'm not far behind you two

On the subject of bulbs, pretty remarkable that I'm still on the same tail light and indicator bulbs, assuming the first owner didn't change them; that's 90500 miles/15 years.
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - chrisr - 29-12-2017
Pictures on how to do the dash bulbs Chris?
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - dablik - 29-12-2017
Take the clocks off Chris and flip em over, twist and pull a bulb out then refit new one, that's it, dont really need a pic.
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - chrisr - 30-12-2017
Sounds simple!
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - Jussi - 30-12-2017
-07 900 ABS 115 tkm on a clock. It's been surprisingly reliable bike for past 100 tkm. Just standard maintenance. Front fork gators have been keeping fork seals in a good shape for past 40 tkm. Air box mod + PowerCommander + Laser cans are quite ok even if low rev torque is still a bit thin. Higher and wider seat (it's pretty tricky to make the shape and hardness comfortable enough - hints are welcome) + lowered screen fits quite well for a tall driver like me keeping helmet tolerable steady and quiet reducing still pressure on a chest. It's not for off road but light enough for 10/90 all-rounder/street needs but unfortunately carrying capacity quite low. I would prefer slightly shorter 1st gear and +10 hp.
Â
It's far from perfect but versatile enough for my needs. I've testes quite many bikes for a past couple of years ending up time after time to go on with TDM - charger. It's time to change timing chain and check valve clearances. New front brake discs an pads are also waiting for assembly. Original battery is finished. Just a few months and snow is gone and I'll be ready for road.

Sadly I didn't take pictures Chris and there's nothing in the service manual about this. The diagram in the parts catalogue is useful though and there's some stuff on JBX's site about fitting LED replacements with good instructions (I didn't bother with LEDs).
- Side panels, screen, infill panel & front cowling off.
- Dash unplugs and is retained by three screws underneath.
- Put it on a clean, clear work surface. Flip it over, remove 8 crosshead screws, flip it back over (so clocks are facing up) and gently pull apart.

Well it's been awhile since i did them but i guess he knows all the plastics have to come of beforehand, cant say i remember having to pull them apart though, i shall bow to your knowledge having recently done them... problem is ChrisR will have to wait for a sunny day

I donât have to do it just yet, a firm thump usually brings the errant bulb back to life, but Iâm sure it wonât eventually.
