Evening all,
glad to be here. I have been the happyâish owner of a 2000 TDM since last August after 11.5 years of unforgettable  VFR750 companionship, which I had to part with due to hip arthritis. The TDM is much comfier and causes me no pain. And when it rides as it should, it runs like a dream.Â
Iâm hoping to spend even longer with my TDM than with my VFR if I can get used to itâs funny mood swings. So far it appears to have a healthy thirst for oil and a cough and splutter every time I use full choke, as if running on one cylinder for 15 minutes before it goes back to normal. Iâve had it looked at in a repair garage, he cleaned the carbs, reset float heights etc. but the problem persists. Weâll see how we get on.
Â
Cheers.
