Hey my name is alex I am new to this forum So i want to start off by saying Hi. I just had some quick questions, i am a new TW200 owner, i just picked up an 03' about 5 days ago. My TW's exhaust was rotted out from just being used it seems like, so i purchased a DG exhaust for it, which greatly improved the sound and even added some power. This TW had never been modded or touched before I bought it, just regular maintenance done for a daily commuter was what the previous owner did. So as of right now the entire bike is stock besides the pipe. I noticed it back fired/made a pop noise a couple of times when i was riding it, and i have been reading these bikes tend to run lean as is to meet emission standards. I was wondering what would be some base line jetting sizes to go off of for my bike with a pipe in California at sea level? I live in dana point, CA its a city pretty much right on the ocean, my plan is to ride this bike for fun up and down PCH (pacific coats hwy). I already plan on doing the air box mod (taking the snorkle out) and shimming the needle, I just wanted to know what stock jetting would be in my carb and where to go from there please? Thanks in advance, have a good one.........Alex

Thanks josh for checking it out i appreciate it!
Its a hard decision because jets are 4 to 5 bucks a piece. and the dial a jet is $75 but would be fun to try. I am still debating what to do but I am very grateful for all the info I have on TW's, thanks everyone. Also the TTR225 header fits the TW200 motor? also whats the +2 thing mean if you dont mind me asking?

"+2" is internet speak for "I agree with the member that said that"

BTW- I run my jetting set up from sea level to 9k. At the higher elevations you have to shift sooner to stay in the power band, but it has worked so far.

Oh i gotcha thanks! Ok I think I am gonna go on the cheap side just for now, and try josh's/MR.DNA's recommendation and see how it runs with the 130main and 2 washers on the needle. Thanks again for all the info, I do appreciate the info! Have a great day guys......Alex
heres some pics after i re-sprayed the motor yesterday, and detailed it out finally. Buffed the tank, polished out the plastics, changed the oil, etc... Came out good.
