Hi all thanks for the acceptance, recently acquired a TDM 850 1999 with a slight fork fault....a snapped off piece of the fork ..the split part where the pinch boot secures.

make sure you give it a good oil and filter change when you get it on the road!!

I like the TDM850's for sports bike cornering but better riding position...but boy they dont like old oil!

Got you.

So instead of the normal 2 bolts holding the axle in place, one is missing with that part of the fork snapped? I'd be after a replacement fork leg personally off eBay/owners forums
