Well it's about time I said hello I guess! I've actually had my 900 TDM since Nov '21 but only rode it for the first time last month to take it for an MOT having decided to keep it after all!
Â
When I first got the bike in '21, which I'd bought unseen and online from a guy who seemed to be genuine, it ran really hot very quickly everytime I started it up and it basically scared me and I thought I'd bought a lemon so I didn't use it. It just sat in the garage on a charger next to my other bikes which do get used! Eventually in December I decided that I'd at least get it MOT'd so it would be easier to possibly pass on in a P/X deal. As it happened the bike ran much cooler on the road so I've decided to hang on to it and I will use it this year now. I think it has the dreaded camchain rattle so I've bought an updated new tensioner which when fitted will hopefully get rid of the rattle.Â

Looking forward to using the site now.
