Whats teeerbo'd? Is it a bike or bad spelling?
Yes of course, its a tdm mk1 3vd. Love mine. Some of you probably not. And yes it's a bit butcered.
Thats why im asking:

What is the threshold for the bike stopping being a Yamaha tdm 91 reg.? Where os the line drawn. The Original design Is of course a bit dated, it's an old bike. But now the bike is a bit of an ever evolving piece of two faced matter. Some bits fall off and get cracked and modified in the process, bolts overtights when you tap into the oil gallery for your newly aquired analog oil pressure meter, a sea of oil when tried easy way out,then helicoil, helicoil, helicoil all Day, fried Electrics, speedometer malfunctioning, slipped in oil, cut badly two places(hand and knee)when trying to cut seat plastic with knife that broke by my enourmous strenght and bad choice of tool(what was at hand)
Still love it. And hate it. But now it wont run. But Almost done, change some jets. And airbox back in + new battery and dyi switches for New Electrics. If you are interested i Will post pics. But be ready for sacrilege.

Pics always good, I like to see a well modded/defaced/defiled/enhanced bike, I once had an old Honda 500t with su carb under the knee and hand gear change built from the "cos you can" school of engineering.
If a tdm runs right and handles as it should how can you ever hate it.
