1993 Yamaha TW200

[muddpigg]

So just had a TW200 fall in my lap.  Cost was free but is in true kit form, disassembled.  I'm pretty stroked after a google search.  This bike is my kinda bike.  Not too fast and fat tires, dual sport thumper.  Anybody have any experience with'm?  I'm leaving Wednesday for a 9 month vacation so got plenty of time to research.

Very cool little bikes!
93 should still have the Kickstart and electric starter if I remember correctly. I bought one for my wife to learn how to ride on after googling lowest seat height enduro. The best info you will find will be on http://tw200forum.com/#/?_k=ox2q80 and there is alot.. These bikes have a following like toyota's do. The carbs where tuned lean from the factory, I put a stainless washer under the needle to space it a bit and hers ran alot better.

One guy took one from Utah through Canada to Alaska http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/utah-to-alaska-6100-miles-on-a-tw200.255995/. They can do 60 stock but don't like it for sustained periods of time, they don't take much oil and the filter is about the size of a wadded up dollar bill!

That being said they are amazingly fun bikes with good aftermarket support (they are still being made and are mostly unchanged in design) also they have a good following of folks who don't mind modifying them. When ever I rode hers i felt like a kid on a BMX bike.
