    Hello all, My 2008 TW200 suddenly will not start when the ignition switch is engaged and I'm fairly certain its the starter solenoid but I may be missing something. The starter solenoid clicks once when the button is pressed and only when safety features (kickstand up in gear / neutral) are...

    First time caller, long time listener. Someone tried to steal my bike last night by hammering a screwdriver in the ignition. They couldn’t get the steering lock to release thankfully so they did a few circles into the neighbours yard and left the bike there. The key goes into the ignition but...

    Hey guys I’m new to this forum and I just traded a beat up Ford Ranger for a beat up 87 tw200. The guy I got it from said he was riding it about 30 miles everyday to work and it ran great (of course), but one day he was riding it in the rain and it just sputtered out and hasn’t started since...

    Hey guys, Rode by Tdub to work yesterday. I took the long way home and rode it how I normally would. After parking it, and taking the key out, I left it sit overnight. I went to fire it up the next morning and nothing happened. First I thought, "Oh great, time for a battery" So I checked the...

    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...

    I ordered a new coil, OEM because I didn't want to have to deal with spark plug boots that were the wrong shape or anything like that. Yamaha solves this issue by simply not including a boot. Old wire and boot is on the right, new wire is on the left. How do I swap the boot to the new wire...

    Hi everyone, My first post here. I initially put this up on AdvRider, but haven't heard back: ht---tp://advrider(dot)com/index.php?threads/1990-yamaha-tw-200-bad-cdi-box-looking-for-advice.1191668/ (I can't post links) I'll quote my posts here: Thinking about this a bit more, what is a...

    here is info on 3x aftermarket cdi's that work on the tw. none of them are plug-and-play, so you need to frig a bit with wiring. none of the units behave exactly like the stock cdi, which imho is still the preferred option for most applications. waaay cheaper though. the first two units...

    Ok, I promised LT I would post up about what I'm working on. Maybe others can add their experiences and knowledge so that we can all learn more about these little burros. :icon_thumright: What I'm doing here is really not very original. I've read about at least one other TW owner who made a...

    Hi guys, I took apart my ignition switch to troubleshoot the intermittent power supply issue. While taking the 'cylinder' off the bike a spring popped out and I can't figure out where it is meant to go. I tried it in the position as per the photo, but it didn't feel right. Key was difficult...

    I live in the UK and recently bought a 1991 TW200 that has been imported from the US (only TW 125's were sold over here). It was sold as a non runner project and bought from an importer (online) so buyer beware etc. It looked like it had obvious bits missing lights, clocks etc but nothing that...

    It appears to me the service manual diagram for testing the 1987 TW200 ignition circuit cut-off relay is incorrect. It is obvious from the ignition circuit diagram that the two wires powering this solenoid are the Brown and Sky Blue wires. These connect to the two lower terminals when the...

    Greetings, I've run into a bit of a snag on an 88 TDub rebuild, and was hoping someone here may be able to steer me in the right direction. I have an 88 TDub that I picked up off of ebay, very rough shape, which I've basically torn apart and rebuilt. I'm to the point of trying to get this...

    Will a 1987 bw350 cdi work on a 1987 tw200? How would you compare them to know? Can the cdi on my 1987 tw200 be replaced? Thanks.

    Hello guys, About two weeks ago, my 1987 was running fine at about 72-75mph on the highway when it suddenly lost power. I couldn't get it restarted and had to tow it home. I went over everything with a fine tooth comb and couldn't figure out what the problem was. After it sat for a few days...
