presentation of the TDM 850 2001

the TDM is a special case in motorcycle production. Half road bike, half trail bike, even a little sport bike, we've never been able to decide which category to place it in.

like the big trail bikes, it offers a comfortable, natural riding position and an obvious grip. From the tourer, it takes on the ability to take you up and down hills at a steady pace, as well as a good-sized fuel tank for long stages. Strange or ingenious, this concept has turned out to be a real success story.

the large perimeter frame contains the 850 TRX 's revised twin between its spars. Its pitch is increased from 360° to 270°, simulating a 90° V2.

the engine offers a good dose of thrills and character. Perhaps a little hollow at low revs, it has nothing to be ashamed of in terms of performance. Compared to the first versions, the TDM has improved its handling and gained in precision. The only imperfection is the gearbox, which is dry and noisy. That aside, the bike is a formidable all-rounder, which many motorcyclists have appreciated and continue to appreciate.

this is my 24 bike but for retirement an 850tdm 4 tx with 192,000 km from 96 is a real pleasure Rating : 4/5
French Model 2001
This is a very good bike, with an engine that gives you a feeling of smooth running. It's not a crazy horse, but it's a fit one all the same! The only drawbacks are an ar wheel that wants to go in front if you're surprised, and rather average lighting. Everything else is fine. Rating : 4/5
French Model 2001
I've just bought a very well-maintained TDM 850, 50,000km, and the garage has redone all the seals and other things that could harden over time. Disc brakes, calipers, carburetion rebuilt and tires changed. After the test ride, the bike's handling was very good, and for a duo, it's up to the task. I'm very satisfied with this beautiful bike, nothing to do with today's machine, which looks like nothing. Rating : 5/5

It's my second tdm 4tx 850.the first one,model 96,bought at 25000 km sold 4 years later at 65000 km,I was happy with it, but wanted to have something more roadworthy,so sold it to switch to an Aprilia 1000 rst futura,and there too a big breath of two-wheeled happiness.and in 2021,I bought back a tdm 850 that had 30000km,and like new.I've fitted it with a high bubble, a 3vd tdm guard + sabot, xenon lights, which change everything at night, coockase aluminum cases, and tires that handle gravel better, Pirelli Scorpion rally STRs.And now it's a super machine, after adding mecarun p18 to the engine oil, the gearbox is much more pleasant... just goes to show, a good old bike, a little tweaked, is more endearing than a bland new one packed with electronics.. Rating : 4/5

Hello, I have a 1998 tdm 4tx with 40000 kms on the odometer. The gearbox is horrible. I'm thinking of selling it because of this. Shifting gears scares me every time. I've heard about this super lubricant meca run p18. Is it possible to get some feedback on this and if it doesn't make the clutch slip. Best regards. Rating : 3/5
Déçu
French Model 2001
I've always ridden a sporty 4-cylinder, so I needed a city bike that would also allow me to ride on the freeway. Loyal to Yam, I bought a TDM 98 model 4TX. I kept it for a month, then sold it to a youngster (at least one happy one, if not me). Why? engine lacks extension, knocks at the bottom, zero protection, weighs a donkey and is heavier than all the 1000 4-wheelers I've owned. 18-inch front wheel that I clearly don't trust when cornering. I give it credit for its autonomy and comfort. Oh yes, I forgot, the wind protection isn't as good as my Thunderace 1000, which claims to be sporty and is lighter :-/ I've found its ideal replacement, a Honda CB 500 pc26 from '95, which is much more agile and gives me peace of mind when it comes to cornering. So much for opinions and colors.... Bonne route! Rating : 3/5
Superbe machine
French Model 2001
This is my 2nd tdm and my 10th bike, and after my 93 gsxf it's my 2nd best machine. It's a 99 model bought with 49000 km 2 years ago and now it has 82000 I ride it every day and often in duo, do roadtrips with it, and it does the job without flinching if I had to change I'd take back either an 850 or the 900 with injection but I'd take back a tdm Rating : 5/5
French Model 2001
I'm on my 2nd Tdm 850, and despite its age I find it more endearing than some of the newer models
It still attracts new drivers
On the negative side, it requires a lot of oil, and there's no center stand
A real shame! All in all, it's a great bike, pleasant and easy to handle. Rating : 4/5

I've had a motorcycle licence for 55 years, I've had about 20 bikes, recently I bought a 650 burgmann after 1000kms I exchanged it with an 850 DTM from 1997 and well it's an old bike but one of the best I've ever had pleasantly surprised by this bike Rating : 4/5

I've ridden dunlop mutants, very satisfied on wet and dry tracks, before I had very unhappy road 4 drivers, I'd lost all confidence in my tdm, but now I'm so happy! Rating : 5/5
French Model 2001
between the first version and the last one, I had 5 TDM 850s, and I often rode in a duo
Wasn't the TDM the initiator of the road trail segment, which cannibalized custom, sports, GT and ...... models?
The TDM was 20 years ahead of its time
this bike has lost none of its potential: a good, reliable engine, very honest comfort and a look that's out of step with the production of the time, and which seems almost wise today
a good bike Rating : 5/5
French Model 2001
I sold my 600 cbf for an 850 tdm big disappointment I find it is much less lively it shakes at low revs in short a twin cylinder that seems very bland compared to the 600 I have 60,000 km the engine is perhaps already tired? My 600 cbf had 90,000 and was much livelier Rating : 2/5

Your problem is with the gas line.
Yes, I had the same problem.
It's not the carburetors but the box that lets the gas through when the engine's running.
It's under the seat, just behind the fuel tank.
You tap it a few times
times, and hey presto, it's unlocked.
Yes, they're old now.

A very good bike, but not for sporty enthusiasts. On the other hand, if you want to eat up some asphalt, she's always up for it! Comfortable, starts right up (even after being stationary for 3 weeks or more), very reliable engine if you know it well (hot oil level only when the fan is engaged). That's the trick to pampering this good old Twin, which supposedly eats up oil and breaks a connecting rod!
Just so you know, a big single or twin will always eat up more oil than a 4-legged Rating : 4/5

Very good motorcycle, but please remember to protect the engine as on other large motorcycles. A stone hit my tdm violently at gearshift level while I was riding. The oil is leaking at this point. If the engine was protected, I wouldn't have had this problem. Can I get a steel sheet to protect my motor? Rating : 4/5

French Model 2001
It's true that this TDM is surprisingly economical and has a low-revving engine, but the gearbox is a bit hard and it slams a bit. Apart from that, it's a good machine that's easy to handle and light, but it still goes up to 210 kms and quickly that's enough for 90 kms. Rating : 4/5

A very careful neighbor has just sold me his 1993 tdm 3vd, in very good condition. At 59, I'm back on the bike after hanging it up from a kawa 1000 gtr fifteen years ago.

About 5 years ago I bought a '93 TDM. I didn't know anything about it and was immediately seduced. Handling, versatility and, above all, incomparable style. That's why I sold it and bought ..... a 2001 TDM 850, and the adventure continues ... I think the next one could be a 900! Rating : 5/5

Excellent, it holds its own. A very good compromise, I regret the 'tits à coup at low revs (unless it's just a setting?). It's a bit too quiet for my taste, which is a pity..

I own a red 1997 tdm, which has now clocked up 55,000 km after 1 transalp and 1 africa twin. it's very pleasant and comfortable to ride smoothly alone or in a duo. you can also give the right-hand handle a good squeeze and scrape the footrests on the small Limousin departementales with as much pleasure as ever.as for oil consumption, I now use the vicosites provided in the owner's manual, and when I drive it normally it doesn't consume any more, but still a little in case of a rough ride
 Rating : 5/5
French Model 2001
Bought new in 2000. Easy to handle and versatile, I appreciate its playfulness and ability to weave in and out of traffic, its ground clearance (for curbs) and its solo and duo comfort. Economical in use: fuel consumption 5l/100 kms and a little oil consumption. Original drive chain never re-tensioned after 30000kms! Easy maintenance, which I carry out myself despite average mechanical access. A motorcycle without history but not without charm, which I recommend. Rating : 5/5
French Model 2001
After a big div' and an africa twin, I've just found the compromise...
More than decent pavement handling, pleasant comfort whether riding solo or as a duo, and it's not ridiculous on the road at 4 grams..
Its only faults are lamentable mechanics for a bike just fitted with a fork head, and oil consumption that's a tad excessive... Rating : 5/5
