Second hand advice Yamaha TDM 900
The right partner

With the TDM 900, Yamaha is continuing the independent all-rounder concept of the previous models. Is she the right partner for a varied leisure time in the long run?

How times change: had to Yamaha at the start of the unconventionally styled TDM 850 with its bulging eyes that took some getting used to, the TDM 900, which has been sold since 2002, has established itself as an alternative for individualists right from the start. Amazingly, the original concept of the all-rounder has not been shaken. Although the 900 is a completely new design, you sit upright on it with your arms stretched behind the long tank. Together with the footrests that are placed far forward, this results in a very passive sitting position with little feedback from the front wheel. Regardless of this, the not too heavy TDM 900 masters even tricky curve combinations with almost playful ease. And even at high speeds it is still stable and inspires confidence. She also deserves praise for top brakes? since 2005 with ABS ?? and the high quality of workmanship. The coordination of the spring elements is less successful: at the rear
too hard, too soft at the front. The smooth-running, economical and very reliable two-cylinder engine acts more harmoniously, but its even power development is somewhat clouded by harsh load change reactions. It’s a shame that, of all things, this has hardly changed over the years.

The Yamaha TDM 900 is one of the unproblematic second-hand offers on the market. There are no typical weaknesses to this day

wearing shock absorbers in the rear wheel. Then the unpleasant load change reactions intensify again significantly.
During the test drive with the brake pads lightly applied, check whether the front brake discs are warped, which happens every now and then. Thanks to good workmanship, rust should not be an issue in a well-maintained TDM.

Market situation

The high new price is probably the main reason for the low distribution of the TDM 900. The supply of second-hand machines is not abundant, but exceeds the subdued demand. A TDM therefore often waits a long time for a new owner. Especially hard
