How to Check and Adjust the Valves on a Yamaha TW200

This is a detailed instructional video on how to properly check and adjust the valves on my 2014 Yamaha TW200. It is the same for for all the years of the TW200 since the engine has remained pretty much the same besides the addition of an automatic cam chain tensioner, electric start, and the deletion of the kick start. let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching!
disclaimer: work on your bike at your own risk. You are solely responsible for your own actions. Always use proper safety equipment for the job.
valve clearance (cold) spec:
Intake: 0.05 -0.09mm (0.002 - 0.004in)
exhaust: 0.11 - 0.15mm (0.004 - 0.006in)
torque specs:
locknut: 14Nm (10.3ftlb) (123.6inlb)
valve cover bolts: 10Nm (7.2ftlb) (86.4inlb) *****update, the manual says these bolts are 10nm and I have always tightened them down to that. But last time I checked my valves the lower bolt for the exhaust valve cover did not want to tighten down to spec like the others. I quickly stopped turning the bolt so I didn't strip it out, it is still plenty tight for now. but I would strongly recommend you tighten these bolts down to only 7nm (5.2ftlb) (I will make a video on this next time I adjust the valves)
Blind plugs: 7Nm (5.1ftlb) (61.2inlb)
fuel tank bolt: 7Nm (5.1ftlb) (61.2inlb)

TDubsKid, I recently bought an abused 2010 TW because I want my two teens to learn to ride and wrench. Your channel is a godsend...these videos are amazing. My 19 year old, who had literally never heard of a torque wrench followed this video step by step (except your advice on the throttle cable removal...that was an hour of my life I’ll never get back) and set the valve clearances perfectly. Experiencing success on a first time task like this is the difference between someone saying “f@&k it, this sucks” vs “wow, that was pretty cool”. Keep doing what your doing and remember and know that your hard work is not only greatly appreciated, it’s inspiring. Finally, shooting a quick how-to on that throttle cable reassembly would be super helpful since anyone taking off the carb may experience serious frustration trying to do it on a trial & error manner, since the service manual doesn’t include the process.

Thanks TDubs. I refer to this valve adjustment video and your oil change video all the time. I have an 85 Yamaha XT200, which is basically the same motor as what is in your TW. P.S. I tried doing the valve adjustment with a 10mm wrench and needle nose pliers. I finally got the valves within spec, but it was a PIA. I ordered the valve adjustment tool for next time, it will be much easier. Thanks again.

Excellent video. I did not have the special tool and used needle nose pliers. That works too, but took me a couple of tries to get it just right. Now time to clean the carb because I think my problem is the pilot jet, but I thought I would do this service while I had it apart. Turns out it was time as I was 0.005 on the intake and probably 0.07 on the exhaust (strangely I don't have a 0.007 gauge it goes from 0.006 to 0.008), so it was time. I ended up 0.003 on the intake and 0.004 on the exhaust (about).

Nice job will follow your process hopefully it will help with my 2000 TW 200 (with a new OEM carb) that continues to backfire and miss.

no problem. best to check the valves. also check for vacuum leaks. that can cause huge air fuel issues

My friend gave me an 03 or 04 tw200. Which I'm super thankful about it because I was really in need of a vehicle that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg for gas. let alone my very own vehicle. He told me it needed a valve adjustment and a timing chain adjustment. my dad and I noticed the lines on the bottom were way off when the piston was on top. we both gave it a whirl but forgot to tighten the bolt down on the sprocket up top of the motor. Which it caused some serious issues the valves bent, the arm of the valve tad bit on the intake snapped, dalve pin was shredded off a couple other things happened. Anyway we got all the OEM parts for the bike about last weekend and got it rebuilt again everything was fine. We even broke in the motor before anything else. When we checked the oil flow on the top end it was all good. I thought it was a little odd though that there was more compression than usual but it still started right up with one turnover. Yesterday I took it out for a ride and the temps were going really high. aaand when it was immediately cooling down was when the motor was boogging down trying to shut itself off. And oil was everywhere the bike was smoking. I immediately used the kill switch to shut off the motor. we forgot to screw the bolt down that checks for oil flow on the top end. And thankfully the screw was still somewhere on the bike when it was towed home. Now it needs a valve reset and I'm hoping that there's no other issues on the rise. like bent valves or screwed up piston. I did try valve adjustments today to see if I can do it. Or if it'll help any. I made it worse lol as soon as I heard the ticking was worse than before I know I don goofed but I immediately shut it off after a couple seconds. So I left it there. Anyway would you happen to have any advice? I really want to take care of this bike and my dad is too tired and sick to help me with it. Thank you for your time! :)

By the way I like your videos I like the simplicity and details of doing the work and maintaining the bike. As well as the travel videos those are pretty cool xD.

Thanks for the great video. I would like to point out something, though. In the video description you list electric start as a feature that was added on the later TWs. In fact, every TW200 ever built came with electric start. The first 13 years of production had both kick and electric.

@TDubsKid Жыл бұрын

no problem! good to know about that, I was not aware. wish they had always kept the kick

@Possumliving Жыл бұрын

@@TDubsKid yeah, me too. The good thing is that you can retrofit the kicker even on the new ones.

Good job on the video. I like the way you described a 4 stroke engine cycle. I had to get a bigger tank. I was always having to put gas in my bike

thanks! yeah I though it would be good to explain what is going on for people who are new to how engines work. gottcha, yeah a bigger tank would be nice but I love the look of the stock one

Btw, I started watching your videos about a week or so ago and I binge watch more and more . You have quite an uplifting attitude and editing skills. The talking rocks in the background is a great touch!
