What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - Navigator1946 - 09-08-2020
Social networking at its best! I've just fitted one of Rafals big foot side stand extender and I'm dead chuffed with the result. I'm having the Rafal crash bars fitted on Thursday, to replace the standard (Yamaha?) engine protectors, which will then be sold on here. Lee (Hendy) has fitted Rafals centre stand and big foot, and Steve will get his Rafal big foot shortly. And if anyone thinks they're missing out, I still have one Rafal big foot, in black, for sale at £35. It just shows the value of this site in uniting owners for their mutual benefit.

Refurbished rear caliper new stainless piston and seals old ones got overheated. Fitted Rafal's centre stand 60 mm wider in feet than standard which gives good stability. Then fitted his very nicely engineered big foot. Then just cleaning and oil and filter change.

Changed fuel tank cap, hope this keeps rain out....
Tried to swap locks to avoid another key, but internals were different ð
Now a few kms to reduce fuel level in tank before draining an cleaning filters

Done a couple of hundred miles with recent clutch spring set up, seems ok
Â
39T rear is a little tall and you can tell on on both Mway, A, n back roads. It is OK though and the engine is a lot more relaxed at Mway work.
Â
Stoner T31s seem ok in the damp but I haven't had a real wet test yet as if was too foggy this morning to go fast enough

Yes found that but at the higher cruising speeds I found less tingles. :rotflmmfao:

changed rear disk as it was hard to use being warped and nearly fell off as it gripped.
Checked bearings in rear wheel while the wheel was off and the sprocket bearing was grinding, prob only done 4k on it and was a SKF bearing too.
New one ordered from simply bearings in leigh

Rafals crash bars and light brackets fitted today with some LED running lights. Serious protection for the fairing, I think. Also sold the last of the big feet.
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - leehenty - 14-08-2020
Those crash bars are great

I thought on very tight steep hills in Lake District the gearing was slightly too tall as standard.

Fitted me control box for the oiler and plumbed into existing Scott oiler as still waiting for tank to arrive. Eventually the scottoiler will go and vacuum port blanked off.

Removed tank, cleaned it using the nuts'n bolts trick (anyone explained how to get the scrap out afterwards? I needed to use a neodymium magnet taped to a stick...).
Tank full of water and red rust-gunk.
Removed and cleaned float bowls. Hopefully the new fuel cap will stop this from happening....
Tried to lower the needles one notch, as I suspected it to run a tad bit rich. Test ride- seemed like this made it a bit lean - backing off the throttle a few degrees made it pull stronger under heavy load.
So - set clips back to middle notch.
Reset pilots to std 3 turns out, attached my new â¬12 vaacum gauges and adjusted balance. It was noticably out, ticked over much smoother after adjustment.
As I didn't have my jump leads at hand, I resorted to install battery upside down lying on top of frame to make room for adjustment. Worked a treat
Discovered a couple of new cracks in fairing mounts, so have to deal with them before reassembly.
Phew!!!

:good: Nice work.
Â
I used clay bar on tank after I finished washing (etc.), the car this morning - surprised how rough paint was on both.

Fixed cracks in 2 plastic parts, a bit worrying seeing them fall into pieces being 27 years old....
The superglue+powder kit seems to work well !
Â
Took it for a 40km drive, definately runs better after balancing carbsÂ

First night out in the dark on the 900 last night. The dipped beam would make a good anti aircraft searchlight, and the running lights on the crash bars were looking for worms six feet in front of the bike. I found the downwards adjuster, but it seems to turn many times to get the lights lower. Still a bit high now but better, and the bar lamps will now blind everyone who sees me!

Put threaded inserts in fuel tap. Cheapo ones, worked well. Think that's the softest metal I ever drilled...which was good as I could do it holding it with one hand and lines attached ð

Crashed it in soft grass at less than walking pace. Ran off road into soft mud and it tipped over. Rafals crash bars held it up in the mud and grass. No damage at all not even a scratch.
The ford before was a bit of an oo er moment when it turned out it was deeper than I thought. Air bag vest deployed so that's cost me a new gas cylinder.

I'm not surprised it fell over, the world is the wrong way up.
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - leehenty - 26-08-2020
It's ok on my phone something's gone tits up
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - alanfavell - 26-08-2020
All ok :good:
