Question
i have bought anew tdm but find throttle jerky and very snatchy at low revs almost on/off.returned bike to dealer but they have no solution.from 3000k onwards bike is fine.Have tried 91 & 96 ron fuel no difference.They reckon i should get some miles on motor,300k at present.  

Answer
Hi Andrew,

The throttle symptoms may be characteristic of the TDM. If you prefer a smoother, try replacing throttle and cable with another aftermarket throttle throttle such as a half or full turn throttle., or one from another Yamaha.
