2021 UPDATE
Hello folks, sorry my first post is tagged on the end of an old thread, but I've just bought a TDM900 and have had it confirmed from a couple of members on Facebook TDM groups that ANY TDM900 is in fact ULEZ compliant.
A user on the Facebook group associated with Carpe detailed the steps he took to get his 2003 TDM exempted in 2020:
He emailed customer services at Yamaha UK, who confirmed that the NOx emissions for an early TDM900 are 0.06g/kg, less than half the qualifying 0.15g/kg threshold for ULEZ compliance.
Yamaha sent him a certificate of conformity for a fee of £75 (or possibly £60, I may have misunderstood the message there) which he presented to TFL, who accepted it and granted his bike a ULEZ exemption.
I'm new to these bikes but it strikes me as an ideal machine for those who want a bike for touring/scratching but also need to get about in London. The TFL ULEZ checker claims the pre 07 bikes are not compliant, and it would be a shame for anyone to part with a bike they enjoy based on bad information from the TFL database.
I am about to go through the process myself in readiness for the ULEZ extension later this year, and since this thread seems to conclude that pre 07 TDMs are not compliant it might be prudent to open a new thread, starting with a step-by-step guide on how to get your bike through the process.
As I say I'm new to Carpe-TDM so I'd be interested to hear your collective thoughts!
Safe riding
