Yamaha TW200 Bike Build 2.0

Yamaha TW200 Bike Build: rmatvmc.link/yamaha-tw200-bik...
Since 1987, the TW200 has had a place in Yamaha's dual sport lineup and has been proven to be one of the most reliable and user friendly motorcycles in its class. The TW200 is no stranger to the off-road world with its smooth power delivery, wide knobby tires and best of all, it's street legal! Take a closer look as Chase goes over a brief history of the TW and then moves onto the parts we added to our Yamaha TW200 to make it more comfortable for a bigger rider and better suited for adventures.

That TW is absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@timmykauai44]

Footpegs and bar risers are an absolute must on a TW. Oh and a different front tire.

[@MOBStreet83]

Sweet!! I think i want to get one of those tank bags! Im stoked to see you guys having more and more parts for the Tdub! 👍Me, my wife, and my kids have TW's. I need a few more of them.

[@alexmacdonald258]

I did NOT know there was a longer shift lever for "bigfoot"!!! Just ordered it from you, and maybe I'll be able to get my size 13 Dakars under the lever now. These little bikes are absolutely killer fun!!!!

[@abouttime5000]

I have had mine since 2006. Great little bike. The levers both need replacing as you mentioned.

[@WeNeedChange3310]

I had a 2006 up until a couple of years to go. Folding shifter lever and pegs are a must for hunting in the tight trails. Also, you can buy a big back sprocket to gear that thing down to walking pace in 2nd gear. I miss that bike and am looking to buy another. I just wish they would go to a fuel injection model.

[@DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

I ♥ my T-Dub. It's timeless and pure FUN.

[@jessspringer9727]

One small point of correction; Chase misspoke that the rear rack was aluminum but it is in fact steel. That aside, it's the most sturdy rack I know of for the TW and fits really well. I'd also like to point out that the Tusk Traverse Panniers are a perfect fit. Can't recommend this setup enough. Thanks for all the TW support, RMATV.

[@rmatvmc]

Thank you for the clarification!

[@ridethroughlifertl]

I kinda miss my T-dubs. I mostly ride 650s [KLR, XR, DR] but sometimes the smaller bike would be more fun for just going slow. It's such a toy.

[@SquareHelmet]

Great video and what a great bike! It was really high on my list when I was downsizing, but I ultimately went for XT250 + Suzuki VanVan combo. XT250 is just extremely capable. And VanVan is kind of in the same group as TW200 for me, just VanVan is better looking (to my eye) and it has injection. But I may still add a TW200 later on - it's just too good. And that windshield makes it look way better.

[@jacobhornberger8073]

Love t dubs!!! Hope to buy one for a second bike!

[@clvrswine]

Do it!

[@jessrumblin]

Nice Build! 👍🏼

[@rmatvmc]

Thank you, Jess!

This episode brought to you by Tusk. Lol

for real, i clicked for the bike. not to sit though a sales pitch

[@thepab3072]

Would love to see a modern TW200, EFI, LED lights all around.

[@justin________7477]

I prefer the Jimbo shield, plus you can get it in different colors

[@chrishedlund2688]

yea man!

Should put something from tusk on the bike would make it better

If you love TDubs, stay tuned! More TW200 content coming sooner than you think...

[@maybeerainmaybeesnow]

10.4 in of ground clearance is about an in over the Tenere!

[@NCMATT]

Hey love my hotcams timing chain ⛓ tensioner thanks

[@NCMATT]

Come from sxsblog videos

[@chrisfriedrich4353]

The T-dub is an awesome bike, but it is not fast enough to need a windscreen.

[@rmatvmc]

60-70 mph is plenty fast enough for us to use a windscreen, especially in the mountains with high winds. But to each their own!

[@calvintouz4066]

An Indian viewer can just be amazed looking at this beauty. Why is yamaha not bringing this to india💔

[@bjstuhl]

Do the footprgs happen to fit the XT225 as well? I know there are a lot of parts that work on both bikes, not sure about foot pegs, though.

[@rmatvmc]

These footpegs would not be a direct fit for the XT225.

[@anesthetized7053]

i went a couple teeth larger on the rear sprocket beacuse i like getting on the highway and not pushing the engine too hard. this bike can cruise at 60+ if you gear it right and have the ability to ride out

[@sandunnilochana188]

How much cost this all tusk item

[@tjet455]

Can you post the link to that windscreen? Thanks

[@rmatvmc]

Unfortunately, the windscreen is currently out of stock but will be back on the website when we have more. The first link in the description will take you to all the parts we added to this bike.

[@mikehemens9359]

Non pivoting risers make the rider triangle smaller.

[@snowfreak207]

U kno the ones that rotate and move forward or back however u need? Would they move ever?

[@mikehemens9359]

@@snowfreak207 I hear they work for people without moving. Hypothetically they could tho but only an inch or 3 depending on the length you purchase. I can only speculate.

[@mikehemens9359]

Hopefully I'll have some set up soon.

[@fredeschen3783]

The next thing that bike needs is a front tire.

[@rmatvmc]

Which front tire would you recommend??

[@fredeschen3783]

@@rmatvmc Shinko 244 or 241. I’m running the 244 and I found that it tracks and grips much better than the stock tire. Lots of people like the 241 because it is lighter and has good nobbies. It is sort of a trials tire. They are both inexpensive.

[@Brian-nf9ht]

Facts

[@tahoehiker]

@rmatvmc I recommend you guys make the Tusk Dsport front in size 130/80 18!

[@NickSchoess]

What happened to the Tusk footpegs? Not seeing them on the site

[@rmatvmc]

We're just waiting to get some in stock, they'll be on the site soon!

[@barkeep25]

Cant find the windscreen anywhere on rmatvmc? How much is it?

[@rmatvmc]

The windshield is currently out of stock but is $74.99.

[@rv6541]

You guys did an awesome job here but just have to ask why you didn't do the tire(s) scenario and is it completely crazy to think that no one can invent a derailleur for a motorcycle motorcycle so you can have two sprockets?? I have no idea but boy would that be a cool invention of course it would be big and cumbersome but hey it's 2023 and we got people going to Mars soon

[@User39.]

Wish it had a 3 gallon tank

[@bruceglock7260]

Why did they get rid of the kick start? Is it really that bad to have a backup?

[@rmatvmc]

You wouldn't think so! It's a bummer to have to buy it separately but there are some kits available to add a kick start.

[@RBS1228]

@rmatvmc what foot pegs did he install? Your website does not have the TW200 as an option. Someone asked in the questions, and the reply is you don't have one. Please clarify. 😁

[@rmatvmc]

These are the Tusk Billet Race Footpegs. We are just waiting on some more stock but they will be on the website soon.

[@RBS1228]

@@rmatvmc it might be helpful to have them listed with the option to "be notified" when they come available like other items.

[@journeytoliving7344]

What can be done to lower the bike. I am 5ft with diminished inseam.

[@rmatvmc]

Unfortunately there are not many easy options to lower the TW. The easiest would be to shave the seat height down and lower the forks in the clamps/adjust sag in the rear shock. Other than that, you're probably looking at a custom shock which some people have done. There are some really good forums talking about this topic that would be worth checking out.

[@bartsimpson2505]

can you post a link to the wind screen?

[@rmatvmc]

Unfortunately they are currently out of stock. But the first link in the video description will show all the parts including the windscreen when it is back in to stock.

[@fredburris5428]

I’ve had that windscreen on another bike. Lots of buffeting above 45, not that speed is an issue with a TW

[@rmatvmc]

What bike was that on?

[@fredburris5428]

Honda CX500 and a 250L @@rmatvmc

[@fredburris5428]

I’d try it on a TW, though buffeting can be tricky to solve so many variables. I’ve even drill holes on the backside of windscreens to reduce back pressure@@rmatvmc

Are the gas tanks steel?

[@timmykauai44]

Yes

What windscreen is on this bike? Don't see it on your website.

[@rmatvmc]

[@frankmiller7435]

A 48 tooth is the largest rear sprocket I see on your website.

[@rmatvmc]

www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/jt-rear-steel-sprocket-p?v=18890 JT sprockets offers a 49 up to a 52 tooth sprocket. Primary drive also has a 50 tooth. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/primary-drive-rear-steel-sprocket-p?c=13&v=18890

[@WeNeedChange3310]

@@rmatvmc I believe the 52 tooth sprocket was the one I went with, but it won't go faster than 40mph. I used my bike mainly for hunting and trails though.

[@605pilot]

How is an aluminum handlebar stronger than a steel one?

[@rmatvmc]

Aluminum handlebars are heat tempered, engineer designed to have the same strength, and still have more flexibility than steel. Making them more forgiving for impacts.

[@nyedavis922]

Great bike for anyone. TDubs are fun as hell

[@UhYeahWhateverDude]

​ Hahaha...

[@DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

You really don't need the windscreen because you won't be cruising at 55 mph or faster for long distances on the T-Dub, because it's the wrong bike for cruising and it doesn't go fast enough to require a windscreen. Ditto for the heated grips.

[@philipmarr7325]

I agree on the windscreen. Hard disagree on heated grips. When its cold out they are great to have.

[@DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

@@philipmarr7325 Been out in the cold of Minnesota, so I understand, especially if you don't have well insulated gloves. I usually only need heated grips if cruising at 65 mph on highway on the BMW.

[@philipmarr7325]

Im sure you are wearing better gloves than me. I ride offroad pretty much year round. (Deep snow is rare near me). Id use them. Its nice to wear lighter gloves too.

the better grom that was the grom before the grom…

[@KF1]

Yeah I just found out about the Grom a month ago and my searching small bikes has brought me to shopping the TW200. I'm wondering why the Grom is so popular when this already exists?

[@User39.]

What height and weight is the TW owner ??

[@jtermini20]

Great question. I'm 6 2. 220. Trying to see if this is the right bike for me

[@User39.]

I think the TW200 would do fine with taller people like us...we might look a little out of place on it because of our height but I think it will still do the job...Im probably going to sell my KLR 650 Ive had for 15 years and maybe get a TW just because Im getting old and the KLR seems top heavy these days.@@jtermini20

Why would aluminum be less likely to bend than steel? He keeps referring to steel as not very strong, I get that steel is heavier but it is much stronger than aluminum

[@kaytme5915]

That utility rack is SMALL! SO THUMBS DOWN.

[@thegreatoutthere]

It's embarrassing that Yamaha is still offering this model. Heck, Honda has upgraded their many GENERATORS to EFI! Carb, drum brake, non-LED lights, inadequate charging system, cheap handlebars and foot pegs - the list goes on and on. Buy it (at a ridiculous price!) and enjoy it. But just know that this is like paying 2024 dollars for a 1987 car or truck - and how many would pay a premium for these inadequate vehicles?

[@605pilot]

Great bike! I use it to get around my small town in the mountains of Colorado. Riding my Harley through gravel roads wasn’t practical.
