Instrumentation is all new for 2002, and the lightweight multi-function console features a centrally-mounted tachometer incorporating a digital clock and oil level indicator light within its round face. To the left of the tachometer is a digital speedometer and digital odometer as well as a useful fuel level indicator, while a water temperature gauge is situated to the right of the tachometer, and completing the comprehensive display is a range of indicator lights.

The TDM900 will be available in three colour options.

• RYC1 Reddish Yellow Cocktail 1
• S3 Silver 3
• VDBMA Very Dark Blue Metallic A

Right from the day that it was launched the TDM850 has enjoyed a strong and dedicated following among motorcyclists who want a versatile all-rounder with plenty of character. Famous for its ability to handle just about anything from urban commuting through to sports riding and long distance touring with a passenger and luggage, the unique TDM is an ideal bike for those riders who can think for themselves and want to do things their way.

Recognising that the TDM's individuality is an integral part of its appeal, Yamaha's designers have been careful to ensure that the 2002 model retains the character of the original bike, while at the same time offering a better all-round package.

With its more powerful fuel-injected 897cc engine, 6-speed transmission, lightweight aluminium chassis, adjustable suspension and uprated braking systems, the 2002 model builds on the strengths of the original machine. Considerably lighter, significantly more powerful and featuring dynamic new bodywork, the comprehensively-uprated TDM900 takes all-round versatility to a higher level.
