" Get control of the 6 inches you got and hope for the best " so spot on lol
Just like it was 1987 all over again! hehehe
Nice, plain spoken video with all the right info and none of the hype. I’m 70 and owned everything under the sun. Going the TW route for a capable 200 without risking my life every time I ride. ( my last dirt bike was a KTM 450). By all means, update us on any additions you make👍
Right on! Totally hear ya! My previous was ATK 605DS / XR400 / 950ADV! hehehe So yea, this has been a fun interesting re-think on riding!
Solid video, I really appreciate it! Trying to get one for my fiancee and it's nice to see an owner who has done the mods and actually ridden their bike in the dirt
Thank you for the complement! Tarmac is the confined entrapment between my house and the dirt!
Great vid. All the need to know in the mod department. Waiting for 21’s to come in and these things are great to know. Glad there’s a good community for the bike and lots of info. Thanks 👍🏻
Glad to help in any way possible! Lots of content over here as well: www.tdubclub.com/category/all-blogs/
That was super informative. I'm about to start upgrading my 2018. You put way too many mods for my style but I picked up some great advice. Subscribed.
FANTASTIC!! Thank you for checking out the video! Somebody has to explore the outer limits! Hehehe And welcome to the club where ownership is membership!
I absolutely appreciate this video, it has been watched many times thru.
I had purchased a skid plate before I ever received my TW as recommended 😜 I now have and installed the cycleracks rear rack, new foot pegs. Thanks for providing your time and knowledge😁
Glad to help! Stoked your getting your TDUB accessorized to your liking!
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB really wished you had still lived here in SoCal, all of your videos are what enticed me to buy a tw and start riding again. Your enthusiasm and love for riding has me stoked about riding and meeting others to ride with. Thanks again man!
Thorough! Thanks for the detail/explanations. Long video that goes by in half the actual time due to your method of intricacy.
Awesome, thank you! Stoked you liked it!
Well said
Thank you for a very informative video. I am contemplating buying a TW200 and this was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Give this a read:

Great video, I just bought a TW this weekend and have really enjoyed your videos and website.
Congrats on the TDUB and welcome to the club where ownership is membership! Check us out on IG too!

One of the best TDUB videos I have seen. Complete with links to the goods. My 23 should arrive any day now. I'm in North GA. Lets ride!
CONGRATS - BUT DANG! I've moved to Colorado Springs. Oh, but I film that video in California before moving to Alabama... RIDE ON!
One of the best videos out for the tw200 !!!
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for sharing your insight and experience. Thinking of pulling the trigger on a TW this week. Subbed and rang the bell
Thanks for the sub! and thank you for RINGING THE BELL!
If you're still on the non-ownership side of the TDUB fence, give this a read and it might help with your decision making.
WHY THE YAMAHA TW200
www.tdubclub.com/2019/09/09/why-the-yamaha-tw200/
After watching your last video, I bought a skid plate! Look forward to the tool kit video.
A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! Tool Roll video is coming this weekend - April 12th!
Thanks for this just bought an 89 and this gave me great info
Glad I could help! Welcome to the TDUB Club where ownership is membership! We have a lot of TDUB reading material here: www.tdubclub.com/category/all-blogs/
I really appreciate this video. Thank you. I got my first bike lined up on a work trade deal. Just happens to be a 05’ tdub200. Farm bike built to keep going past where the trail ends and smash onward where no man has rode before. :-)
Change your filter!
I like your "ThoughPatterns" ONWARDS!!!!
I just ordered a Shinko 241 front tire for my daughters new to her 2012 TW and a new tail light. The tire was on sale at Partszilla so that worked out. Thanks for the tips. Just subscribed.
Thank you for the sub and stoked you and your daughter are riding together!
great video! Just bought one today and ready to get that skid plate ASAP
HECK YEA! CONGRATULATIONS and WELCOME TO THE CLUB where OWNERSHIP is MEMBERSHIP!
Also too, I have lots of content to read (w/ video) at:
www.tdubclub.com/category/all-blogs/
I just ordered a 2020 and about to pick it up hopefully this week. Already have a slew of parts on the way. I’ve riden everything from dirtbikes, sportbikes, supermoto, trials bikes, grom, pitbikes....never thought I’d want one of these but since I started looking in to them it felt like it could be a keeper. I already have a slew of parts on the way now I just need the bike to get here!!
Just remember to reprogram your brain! You are intentionally stepping back in time with the TW200. Throw out all your expectations and just start over and you will have a ton of fun!!! Same here, I've been riding since I was 5-years old, ridden everything and just had to re-think this whole TW200, but it is absolutely FUN!
Loving these vids Rodney!
THANK YOU SIR!!! I’m trying!!
Awesome! Thanks for the details
Thanks for watching!
Hmm.... i am once again confounded by a perponderence of pondering.
Great vid. Plenty to think about there.
Hmmm confounded by pondering… pounce on it!!!
Verrrrry well done!!
THANK YOU SIR! And we have all the items list in our website blog as well:
www.tdubclub.com/2020/04/05/aftermarket-accessories-for-your-yamaha-tw200/
Thanks again for checking out the video!
Thanks for the shout out!! Let's get back out soon...
HECK YEA!!!
Thanks for the detail on this video, hoping that yamaha will also manufactures this model in Philippines. Im sure this TW200 is very durable and very good for my everyday use
OH WOW! I would have expected that the TW200 would have already been available in the Philippines!
thanks for the great info!
Thank YOU for WATCHING and COMMENTING!!!!
I really enjoyed your video, me and my daughter are thinking about getting some TW’s, so this information was very helpful. I use to work at a motorcycle shop and this all made good sense. I think I can fix your ZIgzag bag if you want to send it to me, no charge.
Saw your IG message! So yea, I will dig it out and send it your way!! THANK YOU for reaching out! Hope you score some TW’s! Give this a read, New Or Used: www.tdubclub.com/2019/09/16/yamaha-tw200s-for-sale-new-and-used/
The black and white TW sticker would look great on your tank.
RIGHT! At some point!!!!
Hi !
It's been really interesting for me to have your post of view on this peticular model...
I'm 70, had already more than 25 motorbikes of all kind... RV90, RD350LC, Norton Commando 750, lots of TS185. few CR125, IT175... I stop there but add the GasGas280 2017 at age 65. A revelation slow but sure I love Trial, but then the TW200 has so much to offer from small road to deep dirty trail in adventure mode.
I'm looking having this bike then modified according to a trip from Quebec City to The Grand Canyon... 10,000 km
Good video, good pace had an interesting time looking at your many comments about tank, had a Clarke on my DRZ, about the front rack over the headlight and many more.
Thank you so much !
That is awesome!! When would you might be making this voyage?!?
Awesome vid! Thanks! Really want to get a taller seat and maybe taller sprockets (front sprocket is brain surgery). Agree with everything you said I clean and lube chain every fill up sometimes twice per tank, and 6500 miles on her i don’t see any signs of wear! Also, if you haven’t tried it, I run about 60 to 1 tcw-3 in with the gas. Haven’t put my tw on a Dino but feels stronger starts easier no smoke no smell and 94mpg on the streets. Tcw-3 is loaded with detergents (think valves) and is super slippery (slippery is good) and offers a whole lot of protection to the metal bits. Ever look inside a 50 year old outboard? Typically squeaky clean. And in case your an oil buff, I agree jaso-fd is a higher standard however it mite not be equal in corrosion aka oxidation inhibition
I had to look that up! What is TC w3? "TC stands for two-cycle. The W is merely standing in for water-cooled. And the 3 simply means that it's the third formulation of oil for two-cycle, water-cooled engines. ... That new formulation is known as TC-W3, and today's Yamaha oil easily makes the grade." SO, you are adding a little oil to the gas like a 2-stroke! Interesting! I will have to talk to my master tech at the shop about that. Of course if I do it will be YAMALUBE! hehehe
Just watched your whole video. I need that tool bag.
I need a new one myself! It's a bit haggled!
Ill take the old one lol 🙃
Whats in your tool bag short video.
I also picked up the parts to add kick start
HECK YEAH! On my bucket list at some point!
When you stand up (if your head is higher than when you’re seated), the c.g. goes up, not down.
What you may feel as a lower c.g. Is the center of rotation (of your mass) is now at the pegs rather than the seat.
I will buy that! I don’t know all the scientific terminology of it all, I just know that standing vs sitting is the best way to GPC through the rough stuff!! #BustTheScientifical
Great vid, cant wait fer the tool roll vid from a bike tech 👍
OH MY! Your expectations are about to be crushed! hehehe First, let me knock on wood... I've only been broken beyond ridable twice on my dirt bikes. First time was not trail fixable as the second-gear let loose in the transmission. Luckily it was the rare time I was riding with a buddy who could go get the pickup and retrieve my bike. Second time as on a different bike and the CDI box die and my wife had to drive over with the pickup and retrieve me. I've had several flats on all these bikes and have either changed the tube on trail, or road the bike out on the flat. I've ridden old bikes and new bikes and have been extremely lucky! I'm a big believer in PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE!!!
So, back to my Tool Roll... It needs work, I don't feel that I have any real "tricks or treats" but I do have the basics.
The Tool Roll video drops this weekend on Apr 12th.
YAMAHA TDUB CLUB as a mechanic myself I am curious. And as there is a bit of “preventative maintenance” especially on bikes we have to call it periodic maintenance now due to its politically correct & dont get sued over. 😂.
AH! Heard that! Will have to adopt that into my vocabulary "periodic maintenance" as listed in the instruction manual! hehehe People I tell ya! I will openly state that I am not a "professional mechanic" just a "weekend warrior" mechanic who would up full time as my old profession has not reinstated yet. The shop I work at, I started as a customer who would drag up all my projects to them and they noted I was "handy" and sympathetic to my "life situation" and brought me on! I have been learning immensely under the tutelage of Eric Gray of #GustinMotorsports, a 30-year veteran professional mechanic!
YAMAHA TDUB CLUB. Thats awlsum to be hands on learning like that & I mean that from someone whos been under others wings... its irreplaceable knowledge not like specs out of a manual & speaking of I wouldnt know what an instruction manual says. I havent owned a bike in 25 years & even then it was a 1970 Honda trail 70. CANT WAIT TO GET A TDUBS though just waiting to see where this pandemic goes 🤞. Im just a road tech that travels place to place within where I live & works on forklifts, loaders, yard dawgs & any other material handling equipment as well as cars & boats or whatever on the side. God Bless my friend & stay safe out there!!!
43 Minuit's Hmmm. I am looking to buy one of the bikes and ship to myself to the Philippines and was not sure if I was interested with your incite. Wow really enjoyed all that you had to share. When I buy my bike upon return to Canada I will be putting accessories similar to what you have. Thanks for taking the time to document and share your knowledge and experiences about the TW.
Hey Ray! Thank you very much for spending the time to check out the CZcams channel. WE ALSO HAVE A WEBSITE WITH LOTS OF BLOG POST!!!
www.tdubclub.com/category/all-blogs/
Good luck on your TDUB to Philippines!!! That sounds AWESOME!!!
“Get control of the six inches you have and hope for the best.”
GOT IT! TCS Powersports dialed me in!!! www.tcspowersports.com/
I really do like your setup what size tank are you rocking on your tw200?
@@greggmel5825 Sorry I missed this from so long ago! It's the Clarke 2.7-gallon tank.
The line of the video.
For the back I just have a milk crate and a wide rack. The rack is custom and came with the bike and it’s made for a milk crate
PERFECT! Sounds like you are adventure-ready!
Good thinking with the Clarke tank, I really want to do the Clarke xt350 tank. 4 gallons of fuel sounds so good
I thought about doing the Clarke XT350 tank as well, but wanted to have a "less bulk" look of the TW200-spec Clarke tank. Let me know how you like the XT350 tank and what additional range you get out of it?!?!? Who knows... I could "easily" bolt on the XT350 for longer range!
From the stock 1.8-gallon to 2.7-gallon to 4-gallons!!! OPTIONS!!!!
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB I mostly use my bike for herding. 80% of the time I'm in first gear. I ride a couple hundred feet at a time then shut it off and watch where the sheep go. Last fill-up was 45mpg. I also only run non ethanol so it's a bit harder to find if I leave my immediate area
I'd like to see a video of all the Tw200 CZcamsrs getting together and riding.
Peep some of @TillDeathDualUsSport 's videos as I think he may have some of our group ride videos. But, next time I will also be video equipped now!
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB i watch that channel.
Excellent vid . I'd miss my Yamaha blue on my 2006, if I went to bigger tank .
Probably go with extra fuel cells like itchy boots has on her bikes
Thanks for sharing! But do you have a link for us to see this "extra fuel cells like itchy boots has on her bikes?"
Fantastic bike, love it. Hope to get one to add to my Klr-650. Just subbed Great channel my friend...happy trails! 😎
Thanks 👍 The TDUB will be a great bike to add to your quiver with the KLR650!
Thanks bro
Welcome and THANK YOU!
Love that after market tank
Great video... Just joined the club. Would love any advice where to start. I just need to fix it up a little bit
As far as starting - JUST RIDE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!
Skills - do all kinds of low-speed, balancing figure-eights and such. Super slow speed technical stuff to improve balance and knowing what your bike will do.
Mods - I think I said it in the video, start with the SKID PLATE!
WHY? Read this: www.tdubclub.com/2019/09/18/aftermarket-accessories-for-your-yamaha-tw200-first-item-should-be-a-skid-plate/
Thank Ben for chiming in and welcome to the TDUB CLUB where OWNERSHIP is MEMBERSHIP!!!
Great video and really well thought out bike. Your damaged bag is an easy fix. Glue a patch on the inside with contact adhesive.
Put adhesive onto both parts, let it dry 10 minutes and push together). Sticks like sh1t to a blanket
Thanks for the video.
Hehehe awesome tip!! Yea, still haven’t replaced it... might have to “Tim-Satch-Fix-it!”
Hehehe awesome tip!! Yea, still haven’t replaced it... might have to “Tim-Satch-Fix-it!”
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB glad you like the tip. I live I Germany and use a stuff called Pattex (amazon.com ASIN B00E3FAH42) but Gorilla seems to do similar. For max strength, apply to both surfaces, allow to dry for 5 minutes, re-apply and put parts together when dry in 10 minutes. Careful coz when parts touch they are stuck. For an awkward corner joint like your bag, stick one side first, up to the corner, then the other. Bit of pressure on the part after is good.
Used this stuff in industry for years. Good luck.
Great video of the mods needed. Thank you. The T-Dub is very affordable , both new and especially used. But I haven't pulled the trigger yet due to the amount of modifications that must be done to make it ride-able for me, for both ergonomics and suspension. Maybe someday soon!.
But hey, at least you have the main part - the TW200 and you are having fun riding it AS IS!
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB thanks for the reply but I guess I wasn't clear. I haven't bought the TW yet, but really want to. I have a Husky TE310R right now and it is a great bike, but likes to be ridden aggressively. I'm 51 now and like the more slow, relaxed, exploration type riding and think the TW would be a great fit. I am just hesitant because of the suspension and power. What ballpark $$ are we talking about at TCS for forks and springs? I am about 190-200lbs without gear so I think suspension would be first on my list.
You are mentally there and of the right "mind-age-set!" hehehe I am over the 50-fence as well and that is exactly why we bought the TW200's for the "more slow, relaxed, exploration type riding!" And while it is spot on for all that, I found myself riding the bike more than my other larger dualsport and wound up selling it.
Also, at this age in life, I simply want a more simple life and less stuff, so bye-bye to the other bike! Still have a street bike, but that is for the wifey and I to ride. But, back to your TW200 point. As you are obviously a seasoned rider and coming from a bigger bike, it's all about your attitude in how you approach the TW200. While the bike is perfect for "more slow, relaxed, exploration type riding" you too have to change your mental game. The best thing to do is "zero out" your expectations and just remember simply riding again as a kid.
Also, the TW200 makes you re-think all your riding which I've found really fun! With that, traveling long distances on the TW200 makes you take roads you've never thought about riding before and THAT IS THE FUN PART! Exploring both the near and far in a whole new manner!
Now, suspension... With sacrificing the other dualsport bike in my stable, I am riding the TW200 beyond the intended nature of the bike. But even my other bikes have all received suspension work, so the TW200, in my opinion, deserves suspension work as well. Like the KTM 950ADV, the suspension work benefited this bike immensely as it was a nose-diver at the slight touch of front brake or even chopping the throttle. The TW200 with TCS Powersports makeover saw the same benefits.
The additional benefit of riding the TW200 for you will be the "self-teaching" yourself to use the front brake! Especially if you get the front suspension rebuilt, as I have put a lot more time into intentionally using the front brake. (Hopefully, you will get a 2001+ TW200 as that is the year the front drum brake upgraded to a disk brake.) Why such emphasis on "front braking?"
All TW200's have a rear drum brake. Changing rear brake drum shoes is not as fun as changing disk brake pads, so I use the rear brake less than normal. The rear drum brake squeaks so it sounds cheap, thus I don't even want to touch it, especially on the street, out in public. Yes, petty, but when you've owned modern "rear-disk" bikes, you grow a custom to and have expectations.
I hate squeaky brakes! So, I have forced myself to use the front brake a whole lot more than I ever have, and my skill-set has dramatically changed! Proof us old-dawgs can learn new tricks!
I feel that as long as you "zero out" your expectations you will find the TW200 oh-so-perfect for a "more slow, relaxed, exploration type riding!"
I did not get the suspension sorted until a couple of dozen rides or more! So get your TW200 and go explore and when you feel as though this bike will stay in your stable, then start your upgrades! Also too, it looks as though you are right here in SoCal? If so, upon you getting your TDUB, we will have to get you out and I will put you on my bike to feel the TCS mods. Nick of #TillDeathDualUsSport and Jason of #PedalsBikeShop in Riverside can also vouch for the TCS-TW200 sus-mod. In fact, Jason is who introduce me to Todd at #TCSPowersports, so tell him we sent ya!

@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB Wow, thanks for taking the time for that great reply. Really appreciate it. I like your advice to "zero out" my expectations and having the right mindset. I think the Tdub will bring more fun and less hassle. I also think you are right in that all bikes need suspension work so that shouldn't hold me back. I live in North OC, not too far from you so would love to ride with you guys. I'm in the Facebook group for TW West Coast Community so you can reach me there as well. When we get through this virus and quarantine I'll get more serious about picking up a TW and start the fun. Keep your awesome videos coming!
@@BlairAshworth Hey sir, your statement has me giggling at the moment, "I live in North OC, not too far from you so would love to ride with you guys." I live here in southern California! Yes, I am from Alabama, but I've been out here since like '85. BUT, if you want to come ride out here with us, COME ON!!! Ship your bike to Gustin Motorsports and fly into John Wayne Airport, we will blast off from here to the desert or mountains depending on the season! I'm sure there are some TDUBBIN-FOLK out there!!!
In Alabama no need to jet the carb if you're lower in elevation. On a Tw200. With DG V2 exhaust. I almost had a Yoshimura pipe made for it but it was gonna cost 700$
BRAAAP ON!!!!
i am around 5'6" and own a tw. I often feels that my handlebar is too much high. Is it okay to low the handlebar?
Absolutely! There is no rule that they can only go high, so yes, explore the low options!
What about just longer forks, to solve the handle bars, ride height, and suspension upgrades
The handlebars mount to the triple clamp that is dictated by the frame. Even on my "tall-as-an-OX" KTM 950ADV, I still had bar risers.
Bought a 1994 Honda XR650L new in 1995. Rode it from home all over logging roads in the Pisgah National Forests in East Tennessee. Was afraid I might run out of gas back in the deep dark woods (this was before cellphones too) so I bought a Clark 4.7 gallon gas tank, then put on stock looking tank stickers.
It's like deodorant, it takes the worry 😰 out of being close.
I totally understand that! I grew up riding in the woods during the 70's before I knew of any such aftermarket tanks, so knowing all the gas stations was paramount!
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB My first motorcycle, not counting a 1968 Honda Mini-Trail 50, was a 1974 XL175 I bought new. Was $824 counting tax. Would do 70 mph laying down on tank, both speedometer & tachometer pegged.
Bet you wish you still had the 1974 XL175! That was such a cool bike! At least it is in my memory of it! hehehe
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUBNo, had problems. Only thing I liked was tachometer on a bike that small, didn't get bogged down in mountains.
Had a lot of problems, broke Kickstarter shafts twice. Was made out if powdered metal & wasn't to easy to fix, pull engine take side covers off take bottom off. Had to take to Honda Shop to get shifter forks back on right .After broke second off just started push starting.
Had 6 volt battery points ignition. Water condensed in point housing causing no start. Wouldn't run without battery.
Had seal was leaking & dealer wanted $70 to fix...that's equal to $700 in today's money, the seal was $.70 cents. A sleeve bushing was drilled wrong making it leak.
Dealership said if they found it they would fixed free, yeah right they would of collected twice Was better off road than on, barely could keep up with traffic.🙁
So no I don't miss it.
The XR650L was a lot better after I turned the power up on it.
Rejected twice, drilled stock muffler out, K&N air filter, took smog pump off. put on XR600 gearing.
Could pull the front wheel off ground in second gear just yanking throttle open.
Clark 4.7 gallon tank for range and Corbin seat to prevent crotch numbness. After all that it had gorilla like power off road. 😬
Good day sir
Question
Did you or do you have any issues with clarke 2.7 aftermarket fuel tank?
And what all did you purchase to make it work smoothly?
I'm on a 2021 tw200 and looking for a lil more travel range. I'm about to check out you store to see if you have any new stickers or tee shirts available 😁👍🏾
Thank you in advance
I've had zero issues with the tank.
I purchase zero additional's to make it work.
Maybe give this a read and see the process I did to install the tank:
www.tdubclub.com/2021/01/25/clarke-2-7-gallon-fuel-tank-for-your-yamaha-tw200/
Nothing new in the TDUB CLUB store section... SORRY! 😑😑😑
Nice bike
Hey hey hey! I recognize your name (my home state) from IG! One day I will get back there and we will have to meet up!
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB yes sir maybe I'll have a Tdub by then.
I need that tank. Inwonder if you spray that "rubber in can" on it. Keep it from getting blemished? Wouldn't spray whole tank.
You could... just adds more weight, looks rough... its a dualsport... character is good.. like a gun slinger with a knife scar.
The header pipe off an old yamaha 225 will fit and it matches the exhaust pipe. Stainless.
Yes indeed! I need to score one on fleabay but I've cash strapped - awaiting ink for the dead president printer!
I got one I'm not using. I'll trade for old tool bag lol I got it off ebay.
How about iridium spark plug replacement
Hello CreationD, with regards to spark plugs, I rather spend less money more often on the factory NGK Standard D8EA sparkplug vs a more expensive iridium. But say, on a car that has hard-to-reach sparkplugs, then going with the more expensive / longer life iridium's is my choice. The TW200 plug is super simple to change and you get to see more often the running condition of the bike. There is a lot to be read from the spark plug!
Ricky Carmichael bend Pro Taper fatty handlebars with Risers. Will raise the height and keep you from replacing your cables.
Yes sir! I didn't need to replace my cables either.
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB i need to get some new risers mine are still a little low. My back hurts sometimes leaning over.
You showed a red cycle rack during the end of this video. Is that available? I know a yamaha blue is but would like to do the red.
Any update on the side racks?
I am contemplating on mu rack system. I currently do not have one. I have a stock 1987 with 11k miles (new to me). Thanks for the videos!
Maybe that was custom painted or powder coated.
4;05 PC alert: tall folks in europe to little people in japan" ouch. thanks for info and quick look up for additions
Sorry - I try better next time! But I am short too! #29inchInseamClub
Rodney, my front tire needs to be replaced. What do you suggest?
Hey Chuck! Shinko 241 would be my go-to: www.tdubclub.com/2020/05/30/death-wing-alternative-shinko-sr-241-130-18-80-front-tire-yamaha-tw200/
I thought of you and our rides while packing your shirt with all the others last night! Thanks for showing your spots along Little River Canyon and sharing your stories!!! Miss you man and sorry I cut out so quickly!
I have a 1989 tw200 im looking for a shift lever thats a little bit longer, bigger. Any idea who makes one?
Give IMS a call! They are pretty good about answering and might be able to help you out: www.imsproducts.com/Contact/
have you tried rotating your stock shifter up a scratch to clear your boot?
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB thanks will do
I can’t find Man racks. Help me out?

Re:roll bag...get you some butcher paper, mock up what you want , then take it to an auto seat shop and price out the cost. Plus you get to custom your build.
Oh dang!!! Awesome tip!!!! Hot dang! I like that one!!!
Can you send me a case of filters. For the low low lol.
Can you send me a brown paper bag full of unmarked dead presidents? We can arrange a brokerage deal!
I'm in Thailand Want to buy the tw200 rear grid, how much is the price? Can you send it to Thailand? One transfer to first
We do not sell any mechanical parts at this time. Sorry! Try the TWParts.com guy...
My wife's gone kill me after I order all this
I would too!!! Don't do it all at once! sneak it in a couple of pieces at a time over the course of... lets say,... a couple of years as I did! hehehe Good luck and THANK YOU for checking out the video!
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB Don't worry I'm way ahead you!
What front tire are you running?
Shinko 241.
Would you change the stock exhaust as an essential?
Great question! I would NOT consider changing the exhaust as an essential! Everything has it's trade-offs! I think I talking about this in one of the videos, but essentially you will gain sound, but loose milage range with the aftermarket exhaust. Yes, you get a little pep in your step, but nothing of any major significance. It's the "cool" or "practical" that you have to choose between.
I.went for the dg muffler with the extra silencer insert.
Love it .
I leave the insert in 99 %
But I know the awesome but loud sound is there
Lady in Talladega has a 1990 Tw200 for 600$. I'm thinking about it. Its in good shape. I'll have 2 Tws.
Can never have enough!!!
FYI The link for the front tire to Amazon opens a page for a Shinko SR241 Trials Tire (4.00-18 64P), which I'm going out on a limb and say: that's not a good idea as the original is a 130/80-18...
Im going out on 12,000-miles of actual use at that size.
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB Well! Ah Nevah! 😅
Does anyone make crash/highway bars for the TW???
We have not seen any.
YAMAHA TDUB CLUB thanks I’ll have to do something custom. I appreciate the info you provide on the channel man!!!👍🏿👍🏿🤙🏻👍🏿
Surplus duffel bag?
Right! That may be my next "containment" for my "yardsale" prevention!
should i get one?
A TW200? A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y!!!!
FYI 13 horse power and 9 foot lb torch.
Better than 4-hp per two feet walking! 😂
My 6 inches is out of control sometimes
ABSOLUTELY... oh wait, your fly is open.... dang it!
my 2020 tdub came with a skid plate..factory
It came with the factory engine guard? Take a look at the photos in this post as we show the factory engine guard next to the Ricochet Skid Plate: www.tdubclub.com/2019/09/18/aftermarket-accessories-for-your-yamaha-tw200-first-item-should-be-a-skid-plate/
We also show both on the bike for comparison as well.
Roll Bag, just get a military duffle bag, pretty water resistant and all you stuff can go right in it. $5 used or $20 new
I was thinking the same!!! I had one, my son commandeered it! I need a new one!
check with friends/family to see if someone who sews can repair it for you. if not, there is usually a sewist at most drycleaners. i am so cheap. i repair things rather than buy; esp if it is a beloved item.
what headlight do you have? JNS? i was thinking of pairing with a set of acerbis vision handguards. you can’t have too much light.
i am assuming when you say roll bag you mean a cylindrical dry bay in which you roll the top down to close. why don’t you sew/make your own: get some lighter weight but durable canvas (maybe even painters canvas), then water proof iron paraffin wax (flammable)or bees wax (expensive) or waterproof another way, .collect nylon strapping and closure (belts or backpacks at thrift shops & little snip & burn to prevent unraveling). then use a simple design and sew your own. then re-seal/waterproof all areas sewn. boom bada ching cause it’s cheap. maybe i should make a video. i sew if you provided supplies and lived close. i bet a friend would do that for you, a good vintage mechanical machine or a current heavy duty will be needed.
just heard you r in Cali. i bet you could fine a used heavy sail and someone with a sail rite sewing machine (check with locals at harbor, west marine, etc...).
a friend throwing out (or one on side of road) a leather couch, or a leather couch too bad to resale at salvation army....the leather could be oiled and it would make a sweet roll bag that would be easy to wipe down. yes, i have torn down a couch just to keep the leather to make stuff. i have a tool roll planned for leather or waxed canvas.
seafarers used canvas and wax for eons to keep themselves dry(er).
sailrite.com video to make a small dry bag czcams.com/video/eceP-Lbgt-0/video.html
just look up “how to sew a roll top bag” or “how to sew a dry bag”. just don’t get caught up in expensive materials and way too intricate patterns.
Yes, JNS Engineering is the headlamp I am using. And I would like to add some more light as well! Let me know if you choose to use the Acerbis lighted hand guards! And yes, at some point I will make my own tool roll, especially now that I just moved to Alabama. My mom is the total sewer! She’s made me all sorts of stuff when I was growing up! She can teach myself and daughter more about sewing! Thank your for your time viewing the video and especially your time writing the long response! I like all those ideas!
I have small hands, "OH TEE HEE HEE!" what levers do you rec?
If you can not adjust your levers to suit you, I would look at the ARV Levers as that is my choice, if-when I ever change my stock levers...
arclevers.com/
Best advice is stop at gas station with subway, ice, and a beer cave, fill up your cooler and strap it to the back!
CHECK - CHECK - GO! Dig it!
How much should I pay for a 2018 with 1000 miles?
Prices for used TW200's have been creeping up over the last few years. My 2016 with 300-miles on it cost me $3,500 in 2017 and everyone is stating the prices of used is almost a easy choice to just go new because they are holding value. SO, either you hold and wait for a deal... but too, there is 2018 w/ 1,000-miles garaged and pristine or 2018 w/ 1,000-miles of BEAT and sitting out in the weather for 3-years... So, it all depends and depends on your emotion!
BUT TOO, if you are on the fence between New/ Used, have you read this:
www.tdubclub.com/2019/09/16/yamaha-tw200s-for-sale-new-and-used/
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB I have not thank you. There is one for $4000 near me that says it is in good condition it's almost two hours away though. Thanks for the reply.
Aloha braddah
Aloha to you sir as well! Love that Hi terrain!!!
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB Lots of good information here. Man I can go around the Island 10 times with that Gas Tank!
What up BRUHHHHHH!
BRAAAP!
More displacement, rear disc, and fuel injection are long overdue.
true, but if so, start stacking more dead presidents up!
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB I’d gladly pay a couple thousand more👍🏻
Seems like one hell of an overland bike...
It's been fun! Check out this video (3) on this page as its my 3-day / 448-mile moto camping trip from Costa Mesa to Anza Borrego: www.tdubclub.com/2020/01/29/costa-mesa-to-anza-borrego-on-a-tw200/
I think I said something to you one time about the Death Wing. Screw that tire its terrible in the mudd. Mudd is your enemy.
Yea, that tire is, in my opinion, better suited as an on-road tire with off-road looks. hehehe
I just bought a TW as a 60 yr old guy. Do I get a hat or bowl of soup upon entry to the club? :)
Ownership is membership! Welcome to the club - welcome to the TDUB CLUB! Happy trails and happy riding! Where are you located?
@YAMAHATDUBCLUB "Shithole Chicago " for the moment. That's a play on words from the blues brother movie where they sang "sweet home chicago". How times change
Seems like every country gets this bike except Australia. Would love to have one but they never sold them here. Australia sucks big time.
Daaaang! You would think these would be prevalent across Australia! Especially when Japan is your trade-partner!! That is a very interesting “why not?” Spread sheets and reality are two very different worlds!
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB Yep it's a strange omission especially considering we have a lot of farms and a lot of spare land.
I like kush.
KrushGroove was a fun album... what is your favorite track?
Man, you dealt with that potentially difficult hight issue (European v Japanese) so well. You ever considered politics? :-)
I'm in marketing! Isn't that the same! hehehehe
Ten minute video dragged out to 43
Oh my god
43:09 to be exact in the matter! But you could have just read the "quick list" of everything in the description, complete with links! While I wasted your ear-space, you can or could have be poppin' open links into new windows and hitting buy it now buttons like it's going out of style! Like 1987 when the TW200 first came onto the market! With that, each product listed has a link right next to it.
Just four double-redundancy, I have a blog with the quick list as well:

What canoe do you have? With us now living in Alabama, I’m looking at canoes!
Ricochet skid plates on Ebay for 75$ get them while he still has them. Gonna have to search for them. Forgot dudes name. He only has a few of them.

Hmmm TW400-Twin AM-Spec!!!!
Interesting info, but man that monotone is hard to listen to.
Sorry, I'm KONTRY! But too, all the pertinent information is all listed with links in the description! AND, I have it all listed here as well for double-duotone redundancy as well! www.tdubclub.com/2020/04/05/aftermarket-accessories-for-your-yamaha-tw200/
So he turned a $4,000 bike into a $7,000 bike? 🤔
Better than starting with a $14,000 bike and turning it into a $22,000 bike!🧐 Technically it was a $3,250 bike that came with the FMF exhaust so we will have to recalibrate your calculations. But with all this, what get's left stock? Oh ok, the washer and dryer... hehehe
Just buy a ktm and forget all the mods
Or buy an KTM and do all the same mods!
Painfully repetitive and slow to make a point . Speed it up a bit and stick to the facts and results . Thanks for sharing and apologies for being negative .
Noted
You talk to much but nice setup
Also too, you left out one too many letters in your statement, "You talk to much but nice setup." It's actually "talk TOO much!" hehehehe Yea, I know... I talk too much!!! I need to shut up and GO RIDE!!!
WD40 causes steel to rust faster......
yep! Thats the whole idea, I get to buy a new one faster - sooner. But seriously, I only use WD40 to dissipate the water and then I add the chain lube. Adding chain lube on top of water is not so great.
Sorry, but you talk too much and too slow.
I like your screen name, I trust you... I do talk too much and too slow! But, if you going to pass judgement, first we have to define the standards of what is too little, just enough and too much. Then we have to determine what is the rate of speed in which speech is delivered, is the standard. With these elements, then I have a "standardize form" in order to work from. Am I talking too much again, already... Good thing your a fast reader or this would have been double-too-long!🤔😁
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB . Rodney, here’s how I see it: I’m a guest and you’ve just invited me into your garage to chat about what you are passionate about. I’m all ears and am appreciative of your time, knowledge and experience. Our individual personalities/styles may require 15 mins.....or about an hour to impart such wisdom to another...I saw the 43 minute time stamp when your video appeared in my YT feed and looked forward to an overdose of practical knowledge! I thank you for your time in covering a multitude of helpful tips (1/2 the stuff I had no practical idea about:now I DO !😎) that will help me in my XR650L future adventures. Your TW is COOL and I may need to take my 6’5” self for a spin on one soon! Keep up the good work and stay safe! Best Regards, Shawn
Hey Shawn, my "practical knowledge" of moto stuff came before the TW! In my past I've owned a ATK605DS, KLR650, KTM950ADV, and a XR400! And a few other bikes too, but for dirt-practicality, yeah, that is where my pre-TW200 base came from! So thank you for checking out the channel! #TwentyNineInchInseamClub !!! hehehe I love this stupid little bike and it has made me re-think my riding, which has made it very fun again!
GIVE THIS A READ: www.tdubclub.com/2019/09/09/why-the-yamaha-tw200/
@@YAMAHATDUBCLUB . Rodney, Thank you for the links! I found the articles and websight. You are 1 year older than myself, and I did some miscellaneous riding in the Mojave Desert (29 Palms) from around 5 to 7 on YZ80.....Then later in San Francisco on my neighbors DT125 as a young teen. Nothing like your moto upbringing, but I love your experience and pragmatic perspective!
I’m going to be trail/exploring and your information is awesome! I’ll be a subscriber and new fan ! Thank You again and stay safe! Shawn
