I knew there was a TW225 in Japan. I did some searching online and I can't find much information on it, other than Japanese sites that google translate does a poor job at.



Has there ever been any real talk of the TW225 coming to the states? Is it still made in Japan? I can't find it nor the TW200 on the Japanese site. Is it just a bored 200, or are there other differences?

It was only made for a couple of years for the JDM. Since discontinued.

The TW225 was build in Japan from 2002 to 2007.

The differences to the current TW200 are:

- bore: 70mm

- stroke: 58mm

- round headlight

- shorter tail (cover/rear frame part)

- rear drum with 130mm instead 110mm

- rear drum is build in into the hub





The rest is the same:

- cylinder head

- 5 disk clutch

- 5 speed transmission

- carb

macbig, Is the rear drum with 130mm instead 110mm avalible? Did they use the TTr225 brake assembly?

You will need the complete hub from the TW225 to use the 130mm drum.

No, the ttr225 does have a different plate (for the brake shoes).



You can use a longer lever (which is mounted on the drum) to improve the brake performance.

The TW125 drum also appears to be one piece. Does it also share the 130 drum?

The TW125 type 1 (frame number DE01....) does have the same rear wheel (hub, brake...) like the TW200.

The TW125 type 2 (frame number DE05....) is nearly the same like the TW225 (only the smaller engine and some small differences).
