  1. Technical Help
    I bought a 2019 from a friend. It only has 100 miles and has not been ridden for more than a year. I bought it knowing it didn't run well and assumed the carburetor was just clogged. I purchased all new jets, disassembled the carburetor, cleaned it, and replaced the old jets with new stock ones...

    Just like everyone else with an old TW I have managed to strip the brass drain plug screw so bad I can barely get it out. I searched on here and it seemed like this was the correct part number, so I ordered this replacement screw, but it's clearly wrong, the threads don't match. Anyone know...

    Hi, so i bought a tw125 with a 200cc engine in it. It has a 5ek1 carb in it which seems to be the original carb and original jets. 118 main jet and 38 pilot jet. I think the bike is running lean because it backfires when decelerating and full throttle while idling kills the engine. no hiccups...

    I know y’all are going to be upset that I deleted the air box and put on a pod filter. But I need your help.. my 95 tw200 starts and idles great, but when put into first it just dies.. definitely has weird acceleration now in neutral and I can tell will need carb adjustment. Do I need a bigger...
  5. Performance and Customization
    Has anybody come across a performance aftermarket carb for the dub? Seems like there are enough owners out there to be lucrative for a carb manufacturer (or modder). I've seen all the replacements from China or some other far away place, they appear no better than OEM, or maybe worse. I have...

    I have been fiddling with this stupid carburetor for ages. Right now I have the #114 main jet and stock main jet holder, one small shim on the needle and the air/fuel mixture screw is backed out 2 full turns. That is the best I have been able to get it but it's still not great. I can do about...

    Just shipped my brand new 2022 TW200 to Germany only to find out that I will never be able to register it here in Europe and make it street legal due to long standing EU emission norms. What to do? Does anyone need one??
  8. Technical Help
    I have an 87 TW that I can't get to run right. I recently rebuilt the carb with some Chinese rebuild kit off Amazon, and after fiddling with the adjustment screw it runs fine at idle and low speeds, but it does not run well in higher gears and I can't get it to go above 35 or so. I have messed...
  9. Technical Help
    I bought a new 2021 TW from a dealer a few months ago in the middle of winter. When I brought it home, I put Stabil in the tank and put the battery on a trickle charger. I'm in MN, so it was subzero outside at the time, but the bike is in a heated garage. Last week I started up the bike to take...
  10. Technical Help
    So this all started about midway through a week long trip to camp. I first started noticing it in the woods if I was going real slow and went to roll on the throttle or when I was taking off from a stop, id have a very noticeable stumble in low rpms where the throttle would flatten off and...
  11. Technical Help
    I believe the bike is having a carburetor issue I ain't sure. It's a 87 TW200, with the original carburetor on it. Been looking on Amazon and eBay for a carburetor that would fit it as a replacement. Wouldn't mind some recommendations from you all and the link to the carburetor if possible...
  12. Technical Help
    I plan on doing a carb clean and partial rebuild soon since I'm dripping gas from the overflow hose. Based on what I've read on here, it's probably either a worn o-ring on the valve seat or my float isn't seating properly. I plan to replace the float chamber gasket, the entire valve seat...

    I'm resurrecting a '82 XT200 and an finding getting the bike to idle is a challenge. Compression is only 90 psi and I'm looking for validation that this could be some of my issue. I added a tablespoon of motor oil into the cylinder and compression picked up to 130 psi, so it would appear rings...
  14. Technical Help
    I bought a 1996 TW200. Odometer reads 1650. Battery was dead and replaced. Throttle rusted and froze. I freed the throttle. Compression is 140psi cold. Fuel system is clean and fresh. I did not run it before bringing it home. My bad. I started it up with the choke full out. It ran very fast and...

    Hey guys, fresh to the page and the TW200 Game.. Just picked up a 1992 and want to simplify it by removing everything not needed.. Started tackling the spaghetti wiring mess last night but I figured i'd hop on here and ask the pros.. Basically I want to keep the headlight/taillight (Would like...

    Someone on this forum posted a link for this carb in the beginning of this year but unfortunately I couldn't find the original post Anyway, US $47.66 for a brand new carb, cables and a throttle housing grip and 2 pro taper grips was an offer that I couldn't ignore so I proceeded to order one...
  17. Technical Help
    So as part of my bike "restoration" I treated myself to a new snorkel. I ripped the mouse-eaten, rotted one out. Now, I cannot get the new one in. Perhaps it's because I have the upper body strength of a 10 year old, but I'm also open to the idea that I'm doing this wrong. I've got it oriented...

    I splurged recently and ordered Yamaha fuel lines for my bike. I see no freaking way these fit to the carb or petcock adapters, so I am using some 1/4" tubing I picked up at an Auto Parts store. Why does Yamaha sell this line for our bikes? I'm sure this has been covered here before but I...
