TDM 850 known problems
 

Centerstand:
 

On my 1999 model the Yamaha centertand sometimes grasp the road... you know when you bend on the road and
you hear that terrible noise.... not a nice music.

My mechanich said to me it can be put a bit higher... I really hope it will help! More probably the Michelin tyres are not
the best ones. I-ll try to change. Jun 2000 I changed my (first tyres) at 15.000 Km to Metzeler, and I had no problems any more.
 

Front fork:

When driving between 40 to 60 kmh you can' leave your hands... the front wheel would start to tremble from
left to right, reaching dangerous speeds... the mechanics said it is a question of regulation and tried to sotp it out...
but still there it is, and even Selim, my Turkish friend has got the same kind of problem
 

Others ? ... let me know at    kardon@yahoo.com   ... I'll add
