Hey Mike!! Welcome to the motorcycle world! If you have any other questions about it let me know and I will see what I can do! Have you seen this one? I set one of the TW's up for my wife and now she likes how it feels better than before. ua-cam.com/video/xbyeywf5DDQ/v-deo.html
Great video doood! This'll be really helpful for the people who've never had to adjust/tension their chains before. Nicely done. Also, nice timing - You just reminded me that I need to re-tension mine. [Finally getting closer to 1k mi] 👍 Sam -
Thanks! I am glad you liked it! I thought for those who don't have an owners manual this could just be a quick reference on what to do! Thanks for watching!
Great basic video. I usually prop the rear after its tightened back down dust to spin the rear wheel and make sure the brakes are adjusted properly. Of course, since I'm using a DID Heavy chain instead of the stock Yamaha chain, I've only had to tighten it once :).
You bet, Thanks for watching! The measurement is the total deflection of the chain, top to bottom. I use the bottom of the swingarm to have a flat place to set the ruler. The measurement doesn't isn't measured against the swingarm, I just look at the side of the ruler or tape measure to know what the total distance is. Hope that helps!
Hello Matt, I just purchased a new DID X chain for my TW200. Can I put the chain on without taking the front Sprocket cover off? Thanks Matt, keep up the great videos. James
Hey James! You can do whatever you want to really. Some folks just thread a new chain on to old sprockets and run it. If the bike doesn't have many miles I'd say you're okay. If it has more than 1,000, I'd change the sprockets too. I hope that helps!
Hey Don! I haven't had any issues with altitude on mine yet. I have had someone from Colorado tell me that they run theirs at 12,000 with stock jetting. Some have recommended that the air/fuel mixture screw be set to 2 1/2 turns out but other than that I haven't heard any issues with altitude.
Hello Matt, another question, I just got my TW200 broke in ( 1000 miles ) and took it on a 80 mile ride and was wondering if it’s normal for the chain to be noisey? I put a new Chain DID X ring on at about 945 miles and I keep it oiled up like it supposed to. Going 40 to 45 mph down the road I can hear it . Normal? I’m used to riding a large ATV with shaft drive so I’m not used to a chain. Thanks for the great videos. James
The intro was great 😂😂😂Dude your videos are awesome. They're becoming a go to for questions. Thanks for uploading this Matt.
Thanks! I had fun with that one. I'm glad you like the videos! If there is a question that you have that hasn't been answered let me know!
I’m completely new to riding only have 250 miles on my first bike, this video is very helpful.

Sometimes your bike needs a little love and understanding. I enjoy technical videos. Even the simple ones.
Very true!! Gotta take care of the bike so it'll take care of you. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
Great video doood!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Propping the wheel is a good idea, I'll give that a try! Thanks for the insight! (A new chain is in the works) 👍
Thanks dude!
You bet! Thanks for taking the time to watch, I appreciate it!
Matt, Could you comment on jetting the pilot & main for high altitude ?
Hey Don! How high of Altitude? I've got the stock jetting in mine and can hit almost 10k feet and be okay.
Thanks for the video. I need to adjust my chain. Is the 1 1/2 inch measurement from the top of chain to bottom of swingarm?

Ranch is at 9,500 feet but haven't been able to find much online related to altitude thresholds for the TW ?

If you can hear it, it might need to be adjusted a bit more. That happens to mine all the time.
Where in the chain is the point on which you measure top or bottom of chain?
Good Question!! I always use the top of the chain link for the measurement.
@@MOBStreet83 thanks love the channel, fellow T Dub owner here in new Jersey
😆
Which part?
