Models Covered & Key Technical Specifications
Yamaha TDM850 (4TX1/4TX4) — 1996–1999 Analytical Analytical Primer | TDM850 Series Package.
- Engineered Net Mass: 229–232 kg (with oil and full fuel tank) represents the complete motorcycle weight Sequences.
- Defined Scan Resolution: For optimal performance, 849 cc displacement with 89.5 × 67.5 mm bore and stroke establishes the engine cylinder architecture Baseline.
- Rotational Force Data: 10.5:1 compression ratio — produces 1,200 kPa (12 kg/cm², 12 bar) compression pressure at 300 r/min Requirements.
- Principal Play Limits: Valve clearance is established at 0.15–0.20 mm (intake) and 0.25–0.30 mm (exhaust) cold Threshold.
- Advanced Temperature Range: Operating coolant capacity maintains 1.7 L (including all routes) with 0.3 L reservoir to upper level Mapping.
- Primary Enclosure Specs: Fuel tank requires 20 L total capacity with 3.1 L reserve amount for extended operation Configuration.

Systematizing the service groups into nine operational domains, the manual providing alignment specifications, engine operation data, complementary chassis system configurations, and electrical system diagnostics. The document consolidates general information protocols, references complete specifications spanning dimensions and performance parameters, incorporates periodic maintenance intervals with lubrication point mapping, examines engine overhaul procedures across camshaft and crankshaft assemblies, documents cooling system radiator and thermostatic valve architectures, addresses carburetor fuel delivery synchronization and adjustment procedures, covers steering components and suspension assembly protocols, presents electrical subsystem operation and troubleshooting methodology, and includes diagnostic decision trees for engine performance anomalies.
Hydraulic schematics are included for front and rear brake system architectures, detailing master cylinder configuration, caliper assembly sequences, and brake fluid specifications for DOT 4 compatibility. Steering component information is provided for headstock bearing installation, steering stem ring nut adjustment procedures, and handlebar alignment methodology. Inspection guidelines are provided for transmission gear engagement verification, shift fork wear analysis, and crankcase joint surface preparation protocols. Alignment specifications are included for camshaft timing mark positioning, rotor-to-crankcase reference points, and piston ring end-gap offset patterns. Reference data is included for oil clearance measurements on main journals and crank pins, along with bearing color-code selection charts that correlate crankcase and crankweb stamped values.
The manual documents torque specifications for the crankcase assembly to ensure proper structural integrity and gasket sealing function. Every major fastening point—from camshaft cap bolts through clutch spring installation and brake system unions—receives specified torque values in both SI and metric-kilogram units. Special tool requirements are identified throughout, including piston pin pullers, valve spring compressors, steering ring nut wrenches, and fork seal driver adapters.
Cable routing diagrams establish comprehensive harness pathways for ignition coils, brake hose positioning, throttle actuation systems, and sensor lead management across the frame structure. Lubrication point charts delineate bearing surfaces, oil seal application zones, and grease specification types—distinguishing between lithium soap base formulations for wheel bearings and molybdenum disulfide compounds for transmission and rear suspension pivots. The document provides component identification through motorcycle illustration symbols, enabling technicians to cross-reference exploded assembly diagrams with step-by-step removal and installation procedures.
Series-Validation: Multi-language support and periodic revision documentation for authorized dealer network distribution.
