Hey Finally Have Tdm - Stevetdmlk - 17-10-2020
Hey people
Steve from Ireland
Finally have a tdm it's an 2001 850
65,000 miles
Always one of my dream bikes
It has an exhaust of an Ducati evo 8 on it of all things.
So are there any mods or suggestions from group I heard of an easy airbox mod?

Hi and welcome Steve. The airbox mod is for the 9'er. Superior 850 doesn't need it.
 Only mods are really based on rider, such as changing handlebars, fitting hanguards, dropping the yolks for improved handling, fitting longer bar clamps and other fettlin stuff.Â
Is it a blue 850 you have ?

Welcome Steve, another airbox mod is replacement of airbox rubbers but mostly 3vd and maybe up to 98, your's are bigger, enjoy the bike.

Hi there, previous owner would have told but just in case ......... watch the oil level ! Most 850âs have a thirst for it, check the hand book for the correct procedure or just ask on here for advice.
Any photos of the bike ?
Where are you based ?

The 850 has two drain bolts.. An easy thing to overlook.
