TW200 Adventure - exploring endless mountain trails with a new friend

[@quick6091]

TDubs found a Tfriend to ride in Twoods. Nice man keep em coming.

[@TDubsKid]

hahaha awesoeme, thanks will do!

[@Scablands_Scavenger]

Ran across your videos while researching small dual sports. I think the first one I watched was the airplane crash site. Your editing style and creativity are top notch man. Good clean content with local history and exploration and just a touch of ... gate passing... really enjoy your videos! Will be fun to see how fast your channel grows !

[@TDubsKid]

oh cool! it was neat seeing that old airplane crash site, thanks man haha

[@dannywhite5499]

The drone footage is a nice addition. Keep up the good work! More TDUBBS yea!

[@TDubsKid]

hey thanks glad you enjoyed the drone footage! will do and always looking for more tdubbers to ride with haha

[@rwebiscool]

Those were some gnarly roads to take a new rider on, but he did pretty well! Great drone footage as always. And LOL @ being in 2nd hahaha

[@TDubsKid]

indeed he did do pretty good haha, thanks!

[@CTGromer]

Please don’t stop vlogging @tDubsKid your content is top knotch! Love when you mix in the drone shots!

[@TDubsKid]

ill keep the videos coming, I got a motocamping video in the works thank you! good to know you enjoy the drone shots 😃

[@CTGromer]

TDubsKid My new obsession is Moto camping, I have a DRZ 400 and him slowly getting everything together to make my first trip. Your Moto camping videos are by far the most entertaining and most inspiring to get out there and do it! They’re informative, funny, and you have some super high end edits and shots that make it artistic!

[@TDubsKid]

it's so cool! just to be able to ride anywhere and camp then wake up and ride some more. nice! you will have so much fun, thanks glad you enjoy the motocamping vids! i'm working on one right now and it won't disappoint 🏍⛺

[@kellyzabriskie7332]

Great job on this video. I like the sounds effects and funny clips. Your videos and editing are coming along nice. Im now subbed. Cheers

[@TDubsKid]

[@TheMrDavid93]

I’m picking one up all because it seems you don’t need something big to have fun. Really funny videos dude.

[@TDubsKid]

nice! that's true, I have ridden it almost 15,000 miles now having fun the whole time. big bikes are definitely great for road riding though. thanks!

[@blusnuby2]

THAT was a LOVELY way to start my day, THANKS, son ! Been there/done that--& miss it...THE GREATEST JOY on a motorcycle (starts) when you leave the tarmac !! Ride Safe; don`t beat-up your machine, or yourself...Thanks for sharing. Subbed !

[@TDubsKid]

[@petertherriault8698]

[@TDubsKid]

[@ericcraigo3432]

Imagine making great content like this and it does ok on views. Then 20 years from now no one can go out side and moto vlogs become popular. This dude will be raking in millions lol

[@TDubsKid]

haha I sure hope that's not the case in 20 years. I want to go outside

[@maj301]

Miles of new trails must be nice...Never have had that luxury..

[@TDubsKid]

yeah just wish I had more time to explore them. dang sorry to hear that

[@Alaskandualsport]

[@grandmotovidsmotorcycleand9369]

I love the car tag on his bike😂😂

[@TDubsKid]

haha yeah they don't give us different temp tags for bikes

[@grandmotovidsmotorcycleand9369]

TDubsKid really? We have special little tags for our bikes lol

[@TDubsKid]

haha yeah mine was the same size... lucky

[@jeffstockton144]

That pipe sounds good!

[@TDubsKid]

haha for sure!

[@sonnyjohnson4715]

Awesome videos.

[@TDubsKid]

[@coyote102076]

Just something about a hill that screams "jump me!" hahahaha! that view @ 9:07 was spectacular!

[@TDubsKid]

hahaha for sure I know what you mean, indeed I can't wait to go back and explore more up that road apparently it goes on forever and the views get better and better from what a guy told us. thanks!

[@coyote102076]

:-D Kewwell !!! :-D

[@donaldmaclean4842]

The awesome smell of mud baking on an engine.

[@TDubsKid]

should make an air freshener for that haha

[@hfjdlofhdkjd]

You funny guy 😀

[@TDubsKid]

haha thanks

[@mqbitsko25]

I'm too tall for a TW200, so I bought a KLX250. I love it. But my daughter, who is only 5' 3", bought a TW200. We went high-altitude riding today on a ridgeline road. About 8000 to 9000 feet. That little bike is a freaking mountain goat.

[@TDubsKid]

oh nice, the KLX250 is a great bike! cool sounds like a fun ride,

[@ryanav0842]

Editing is on point

[@TDubsKid]

Thanks!

[@ryanav0842]

I’m looking at buying a TW 200 for my first bike do you think it’s a good one

[@TDubsKid]

Its great if you dont need to go fast or much over 55

[@bwxmoto]

Man if I had a place like that to ride.. I'd ride a lot more.

[@TDubsKid]

BWX haha yeah its dualsport heaven out here, new places to ride just never end

[@humansaremonkeys]

Sub all the way. That was epic:)

[@TDubsKid]

thanks! glad you enjoyed it :)

[@413tnt]

I love my TW.....did you know the TW 200 is the first bike to be ridden to the north pole.......what is that tank bag?

[@TDubsKid]

same here haha, and yes I did and that's crazy to think about, it's a wolfman enduro tank bag, I show it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6PQapZng8p1jbM

[@413tnt]

thanks man.....

[@TDubsKid]

no problem!

[@thomasno-doubt9890]

Don't over extend the novice rider, Remember he's the newbie! One mo panic and he's off the edge! Look after your group and ride safe cowboy🐎 lol

[@TDubsKid]

yeah that's true, but you also want to take them out of their comfort zone because that's how you become a better rider

[@thomasno-doubt9890]

@@TDubsKid indeed, yet look at your own progress and how easy to loose control and drop the bike? A step at a time not kamikaze, banzai bikers lol

[@TDubsKid]

lol that wasn't even that hard of a ride though, he did good

[@cadwarrior]

Those chubby bikes looks smooth

[@TDubsKid]

Haha they have a very plush ride

@@TDubsKid for the days that you want to sit more than stand😀

[@NoProDad]

thanks!

[@hasithamadushanka2884]

Thanks brother

[@TDubsKid]

no problem!

[@thomasp.8366]

So pretty up there.

[@TDubsKid]

indeed! endless roads and trail to go down too haha

[@hasithamadushanka2884]

Brother i have a tw 200 it is 🇯🇵 recondition bike good bike .. your riding was best .. ❤️

[@TDubsKid]

oh very cool! thank you! ride on 😃🏍

[@hasithamadushanka2884]

Good job man ❤️

[@TDubsKid]

thank you!

[@pokechopachunky2905]

I bought my Mom a rad mini a while back so she could go riding with me because she has a bad knee. I thought about you and thought I'd Tell you about it. it would help with your recovery and build up your strength. you can ride until you get tired, and then use electric to get back, and with the suspension and fat tires. it's a fun little bike on and off-road

[@TDubsKid]

hey that thing is pretty darn cool maybe ill have to get one someday, I have been training at a gym and have been using the stationary bike until the weather warms up

[@ericfrymire5682]

The drone footage you get in all your videos is fantastic! Every video I watch just makes me want to get one. What drone do you have?

[@TDubsKid]

thanks! glad you enjoy it. in this video I had a mavic pro, I had nothing but problems with that drone, it ended up having a motor failure randomly and crashed in the forest. now I have a mavic air and it's been flawless. if you get a drone wait until it's been out 3 or more months. I bought my mavic pro as soon as it came out and it was a nightmare

[@mototoad1242]

Awesome

[@TDubsKid]

thanks!

[@MrSurvivalexpert]

What drone were you using in this video that tracked you guys so well?

[@TDubsKid]

I think this was the original Mavic pro I had so long ago

[@TruettD]

What helmet is that your wearing?

[@TDubsKid]

afx fx41

[@sanchezable]

Are you in Colorado? That looks like central city.

[@TDubsKid]

sure am! correct

[@MrWoogieoogie]

How was his clutch after adjusting it. My new TW is a bit loose from the dealer they left a bit of extra play..

[@TDubsKid]

it was great he said it was way better, yeah new cables also stretch really quickly when they are new also, when I first got my tw it seems like I had to adjust it after almost every ride then eventually I rarely had to adjust it. if you haven't seen it already I made a video on how to adjust it to spec kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6uaiHmrg9-Sd5o

[@hasithamadushanka2884]

Bro what is the best oil gage for yamaha tw 200 ( 20w 40 or 20w 50) what is the best brother ?

[@TDubsKid]

I use 10w40

[@hasithamadushanka2884]

Thanks brother ❤️

[@papatorr3669]

I like the end when the TDub flies into the air and shows you miles and miles of mountains. Hows your gas mileage in the air?

[@TDubsKid]

haha my drone will stay in the air for about 25 minutes per battery

[@MarylandWearAndCarry]

The note from the DG slip on is definitely noticeable in this audio.

[@TDubsKid]

yeah haha, I love the dg, I think I had the silencer on in this vid, it's pretty cool they make 4 different silecers for it, i'm going to make a video on it

[@FridayNightGarageBeers]

This is funny because my name is also Sean and I have a 2017 tdub and basically the same physical build as that guy lol and I wear the same stuff. I also have a very similar helmet lol

[@TDubsKid]

hahaha that's crazy, at this point you might as well just go riding with us

[@FridayNightGarageBeers]

would love to, man! maybe one of these years I'll make it back to Colorado. Last time I took a trip out there was many years ago but I actually happened to own my first tdub at that time haha. Didn't bring it though, I came to snowboard.

[@dakotaadventures4553]

So do you keep your go Pro on the whole time you’re riding or do you just edit some of the video to make it shorter

[@TDubsKid]

I keep it on the whole time then edit it later

[@MarlonVanderLinde]

Hard but good learning for the poor new oke. But train him to lift the bike with legs + bike behind you. Back injuries are for life.

[@TDubsKid]

for sure, bad backs sound terrible

[@nicoradventures6608]

I pick up a TW200 tomorrow. Unsure if I am going to miss my DR or not. Looks like the TW is just as bad bouncing that front end on baby heads as my DR is. I know i am going to miss the 250 mile range i have now on the DR.

[@TDubsKid]

hope you enjoy it, it's a fun bike but yeah the front will bounce on really rough stuff, it's 1980's suspension technology, there is a huge spacer in the forks which can be removed and replaced with longer heavier duty springs there is also some other mods you can do to the forks. the big tires help a lot soaking up bumps and with do even better with a low tire pressure from what i'm told, yeah a 250mile range would be missed

[@JS-jz9cg]

Great vid! Do you ever use the drone to scout ahead?

[@TDubsKid]

hey thanks! and once before because we were not sure if a trail lead to a main road or not, then one time I found a cave with it we were going to go check it out one time but someone was was always shooting nearby so hopefully this summer we can check it out

[@fortnitemann7486]

Bra tw200 gang

[@TDubsKid]

haha for sure

[@periloustimez]

You ever rode the SUZUKI DR200s?

[@TDubsKid]

not yet but i'm sure it's cool though

[@Jander406]

I really want my dad to get a TW200!

[@TDubsKid]

haha tell him he needs one

Your voice is very unique

[@TDubsKid]

thanks!

[@MotoStrikerUnit7]

good stuff where you live ?

[@TDubsKid]

thanks and near denver colorado

[@markh6997]

The very best upgrade for the TW'S are aftermarket front fork springs. The stock front springs & spacers are a joke.

[@TDubsKid]

yeah I have seen that, i'm going to have to make that upgrade before too long

[@markh6997]

TDubsKid the stock rear suspension is fine.

[@TDubsKid]

Mark H. Cool thanks for the info

[@markh6997]

Wow, You're So Lucky To Be Able To Ride In A Place Like That! A Little Too Much Narration For Me But Still 10 Times Better Than Videos With Crappy Music Playing All The Way Through. Since I Can't Ride, I Want To Hear The Sounds Of The Engine & Movement Of The Bike If That Makes Any Sense . . .

for sure! it's endless out here, it's just my style. maybe ill do some more of that in future videos
