Hi Azza
Thanks very much for taking the trouble to put together such a excellent reply - I think it is as near to a "conclusive report" as I was expecting. I am going to buy a TFI-1025 in the new year and check the other items you mention. I reckon I may have to adjust my chain because I err on the side of adjusting it too loose so as not too risk damaging the bearings. Also there is quite a lot of play in my throttle. I may buy some new pipes but will have to do some more research. I am really pleased with my TDM - it is amazingly frugal out of town - In the new year I hope I will now be able to improve its urban behaviour (I have to pay special attention on speed humps !) .
I will added my experiences to the forum when I have done the mods.
Thanks again and Happy Christmas and New Year.
Tom
