In this video im reconditioning the front wheel of the TDM to match the rear which i did a few weeks back, spring is getting closer and the nights are getting lighter, im almost there!!....

This is one of those points in the restoration that iv really been looking forward to for some time, unboxing and fitting the Black widow exhaust system, sounds amazing!!

In this video I finally manage to get the rear wheel, hugger and chain guard sprayed up and everything back on the bike, things are definitely moving in the right direction now ; )

Iv heard a lot of people talking about the TDM 850's using oil and the possible causes, in this video im changing the final drive seal because of a possible cockup by yamaha, apparently they fitted a lot of these drive seals with the tangs in the wrong place blocking the oil feed channels and causing a build up of pressure, the result is a fine mist of oil spraying out from that seal! so im cha...

In part 11 im cleaning up and painting the swingarm, once cured i'll be refitting everything back on the bike, should look much better afterwards!

The swingarm is looking pretty rough on the bike and iv noticed some surface rust around the shock mounting area, so in this video im removing most of the bike's rear end to gain access to it, continued in part11...

I wasn't happy with the condition or colour of the top yoke so i decided to powder coat it black to match the clock surround, more of a personal taste really..

In part 8 of this TDM Restoration iv decided on fitting a Fenda Extenda from pyramid plastics, this will keep all the road muck from spreading all over the front of my freshly painted engine

In part 7 im checking over the carbs and replacing any old warn out seals, unfortunately though my camera's memory card failed half way through filming so iv only got a certain amount of footage..

So the time has come to clean and paint the engine, the final outcome is just how i wanted it!

In part 5 im attempting to clean up the TDM's dirty, tarnished, dull looking stainless manifold, its a long process but well worth it!!!

In part 4 im cleaning up the rocker cover, radiator and fan before fitting them back on the bike, small things can make a big difference when restoring a bike : )

In part 3 of my TDM850 restoration project im checking all the valve clearances to make sure everything is in spec, better to be safe now than sorry later..

In this video im basically taking parts off the bike to gain easy access to the rocker cover, this so i can change that leaking gasket and check the valve clearances in part 3
