Did 2 different things to my '92 TDM850 today; first of all, I installed the Micron exhaust system-

Â
The exhaust system reduced the popping and farting considerably, now I get only one stout pop on snapping the throttle shut or blipping on downshift. For what it's worth, I had absolutely ZERO issues removing the stock exhaust; no frozen nuts, no stripped threads, etc.
Â
Second thing I did was swap seats. The Corbin seat is already off the bike, it's TOO HARD, plus it has a visible cosmetic crack/tear in the main saddle.
Â
The previous owner also gave me 2 more windscreens; one slightly taller, smoke, with "ears" just above the fairing, and an other kinda goofy but very purposeful larger clamp-on unit (I was wondering what those nice alloy clamps on the bars were for). I didn't try either one on, as "spring" around here is in the upper 80s and 90s, and summer... well, forget it.
