I'd say it's likely to be worn emulsion tubes, if you've also had a corresponding degradation in economy then the signs are that they need replacing.
You may also have worn/sticking float valves.
It is a common problem on the early models, some have worn out after 5000 miles !
Hope this helps, I'm sure you'll find all the info you need on this site, and some !

G'day malred71
It could be something as simple as resetting your pilot jet screws & sync the carbies.....
Good luck .............Let us know how you get on

Odd. I just replaced the emulsion tubes on my TDM (92 California model) over the weekend, and now it is running exactly as you describe. The only way I can ride it now is with partial choke. I called Factory Pro, and they advised me to play with the mixture screws until it runs smoothly (?). I fear I may have gotten a piece of goo in one of the jets during the emulsion tube install It was running similarly a couple of months ago, and I fixed it by cleaning the pilot jets. They are an awful pain in the arse to clean though. I would suggest saving yourself the trouble and buying some new ones if you go that route. FYI, the pilot jets and emulsion tubes can both be replaced with the carbs still on the bike.
Check with these guys on your shock: http://www.le-suspension.com/ They rebuilt a shock on a Ninja I used to ride and didn't charge an arm and a leg.

Just bought a 92 TDM850 and love the bike.
However, the engine sputters and surges between no throttle and 1/4 open throttle.
On the freeway, when it is cruising at 65 mph 4500 rpm, the engine sputters and surges.
Do you think the emulsion tube is the problem?
Let me know your thoughts and thanks for the help.

Good and bad? news was to discover the throttle cable was ready to snap! so, will have to wait till I get one to see how the new emulsion tubes work.
Any tips on replacing the cables? I guess I'll have to grease them at the handlebar end... don't know how you take that apart
cheers

My bike is doing the same thing. Did you fix your problem? What did you do?
My slide goes up and down like crazy when I open the throttle to 1/3 and then it smooths out over 1/3 throttle.
Is this normal?

I'd say it's about normal, are both slides doing it the same ? Check inside the carb tops to make sure the little o ring is there as they can easily fall out if you take the tops off with the carbs still on the bike. Another fiddly bit worth checking is the diaphragm in the carb tops. If they're not positioned exactly right when you put the top back on, you don't get the airtight seal which will cause it to splutter.
Failing that, make sure you have the needle clip in the 3rd position.

Took me about one hour + tank removal/assembly, no problems whatsoever.
....ehhh...haven't started it yet
Think I'll wait 'til tomorrow, won't risk spoiling a perfect (but rainy) day.
If no followup posting, consider it a success.
