I went back to see if I could conquer this hill climb, Watch the video to see what happens
What are some other things you want me to see if this Mighty Yamaha TW200 can do? Go check out my other TW200 videos

Cool wife!
Definitely wasn't for lack of trying, that's for sure! Now we gotta figure out how to beat that hill!
I should have stood up
Lower the front sprocket
@@pappaclutch3266 I think I might go bigger rear. Easier than pulling the case off lol
If I didn’t see the TDub you would think it was a leaf blower. Good video!
Ha ha. Maybe I should strap a leaf blower on the back
An echo supercharger.
@@ronfox5519 I have 3 echo backpack blowers ha ha
@@Squarebodyshelley wow. You could get a goldwing up that hill with that much thrust.
@@ronfox5519 ha ha ha
Less air in the tire.. I think it can go quite low... 4lbs..
Also, the bikes come lean off the manufacturing. That pipe is very restrictive.
Buy a DG with silencer and high air flow filter. Adjust the main jet on the carb by unscrewing it 2.5 turns.
It's probably only .5 open.
Makes a huge difference.
I will be trying it again. I have been running it at 3lbs now on everything. So stay tuned I'm heading back one of these days. I drilled holes in my stock muffler and airbox for more airflow
Idle sounds way high, like 2500 rpm. but real close to making it
My idle is high, I need to adjust it. Good catch though
@@Squarebodyshelley get a cheap inductive tach off amazon, there around $15 spec for idle is 1350 to 1450 rpm... keep us informed of your progress. good to see more tdub youtubers keep it up
Really fast idle on that one. I like the paint scheme on that year
Very high throttle. I will try and adjust it. I just haven't yet
The most impressive part of this video is the unrelenting support of your family. That is worth more than any summit. But apart from that, stand on the pegs. Balance is your issue.
I definitely am a family man and they enjoy hanging out with me. I'm blessed that they enjoy hanging with me lol. It's such loose gravel it's hard balancing going in first gear that slow but overall I will try again soon
Thats a really long pull under the best of circumstances. Figure in the sand,ruts and curves, and id say your doing.real good.
That hill would be fairly tough on a sled.
Yeah it's a not so easy climb but super fun to keep trying, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to try and make it up
@@Squarebodyshelley
What a beast that bike would be with a real motor.
Ive seen some guys on yt that have geared them way down make some very impressive climbs. I didnt think a bike could climb that well so slowly, but it can.
Kerks koragous klime... almost made it.
Almost. I think I can do it lol
Sprocket ratios are too fast for your size and the steepness of that hill. I live in the mountains and do much steeper hills than that. Second issue, STAND UP!!
Tire pressure might also be too heigh.
Everyone keeps telling me to stand up. Standing up is not the issue. I tried it. Standing up made it worse. However It's also the loose gravel. I believe I could make it if it was dirt.
@@Squarebodyshelley here on my farm we have loos rocks from as small as gravel pebbles up to the size of baseballs. Made the mistake once to sit down and lost both front shocks.
But as they say, each bike/rider/terrain combo is unique and you have tondo what works for you.
Can say one thing though, never met a hill that the TW can’t climb. Only limiting factor is traction and me, the rider.
@@andreeksteen9095 yeah that's true. Everyone has there own style of riding. It's been a fun bike though. I'm basically trying to test it's limits but now I have a bunch of snow. Snow videos coming soon if I can get a chance to ride it
The joke that will never die 😂
Lol true story
Sounds a little under powered. Try standing on the pegs.
Oh I tried. Not easy climbing that hill and keeping it in the rut at slow speeds lol. Motor definitely had enough power but no yes traction helps. I will keep trying. I will try it on my KLX250 as well
I tried standing and it seemed to loosen the rear traction as I wasn't directly on the rear wheel. Plus it wore my arms out more trying to hold on
what's your air pressure at?
16psi in front 11psi in rear
What sprockets are you running?
I'm not sure. I haven't looked yet. I just bought it
I'm pretty sure its stock sprockets
how does your KLX handle that hill?
Well it snowed and I have NOT taken it up it yet. I'm itching to get it over to the hill though as I'm super curious on how it will do as well.
Was that first or 2nd gear???
At the bottom in second but need to downshift to 1st gear after 100 yards or so. I'm going to put a bigger sprocket on the rear.
@@Squarebodyshelley that was cool lol
Time for a UTV rear and some religious fasting
Lol. Soon
Air that tire down to 8psi
Do you think going from 11 psi to 8 will make it possible to get to the top?
It will help a bunch with traction, and a bit with gear ratio.
That said, the lower psi you go, the more the bike sloshes around side to side. And of course, you have a bigger chance of tire/ wheel damage.
@@ronfox5519 I believe I went lower than 8 and it did make a difference in traction
@@Squarebodyshelley
Did handle well enough? Mine got a little squirrley.
@@ronfox5519 It was pretty sketchy at 50 lol
