my new ride (beware not a storm)

[alec]

Hi guys, as some of you know i had to sell the storm (needed the money for other things) and i purchased a nice TDM850 Twin i'm hoping to still be involved in some rideouts and events if the true stormers will let me.

i'm hoping to have it resprayed in the winter, but cant decide on a colour scheme, and need some handguards if anyone has any old ones

Had one for a couple of years. Keep an eye on the oil level (dry sump, pain in the butt to check) and make sure the throttle cable is adjusted properly or it can get a bit snatchy.

i've noticed the snatchy throttle how di i adjust it mate? and the oil is ok i keep an eye on it, its not as quick as the storm but a lot more comfy.

There should be an adjusting ring where the cable goes into the controls . Should only have 2 or 3 mm of free movement in the twist grip.
