HEY! Be sure to try the 50 tooth sprocket on the rear. The previous owner of my ‘19 had installed the 47 because he used the bike for commuting on the street. Luckily he gave me the stock one when I bought it. I installed it and liked it better instantly. Just much torquey-er off road.
These bikes are amazing and will run forever you're going ti have nothing but smiles!! Keep an eye on my channel I will upload videos as much as I can.
I got a Tw200 as my first (well 2nd technically) bike. (1st is a Suzuki RV90, hardly a real bike) But I love finding videos like this. Those Trails are gorgeous, and ride safe out there!
Yeah the back of my truck was full of stuff at that time, just didn't make sense to unload everything just to load up the bike to only drive it down the road 4 minutes.
Nice choice for a first bike brother. Lots to learn every ride. Get some gear on and it'll give more confidence to try unfamiliar stuff. Keep pushing man, I know there'll be plenty of smiles everyday while exploring!
Thanks man, I love this thing I have been out almost every day since this video. And have learned a lot this thing is going to get used along I can't wait to get more videos up on it. Now to get the wife one lol
@@escapingthegrind7000 that's awesome! I hope you succeed with the wife! And I subscribed so if she's willing, I'm sure I'll be here to see it! Thanks for uploading
It has a 47t installed on it now, I am working on a video right now ill be uploading in a day or two, I have the stock Sprocket and after today's right I'm considering putting the stock one on lol. I do mostly trail riding
@@escapingthegrind7000 the way you ride 47 tooth sprocket is fine the stock would give you more torque at lower rpm... but maybe you would like just leaving it idle and just steer.... if your tach could read negative rpms you'd be fine... driving too slow can also not be good for a cycle... anywho.... good luck but your video's kinda like watching paint dry...
@@escapingthegrind7000 I put my 1st 1000miles on mine and switched it to a 47T rear. (but I don't have a truck or trailer to tow my bike) I ride it to the trails, and I honestly spent a ton my my trail time in 2nd gear with the stock just to go a decent speed, and having to down shift for certain areas got annoying. With the 47T I feel much better just camping out in 1st gear, I get a little more on the top end without red-lining it and generally enjoy it more. Although I should note i only ride trails like in this video, nothing super technical and rarely single track.
@@escapingthegrind7000 XT is in great shape. I bought it off a friend who had it stored for 20+ years and I restored it. I also upgraded the crank and top end to a 225 and put a 30mm flat slide carb on it.
Hey man that is great! you got yourself what I call "your forever bike" you had your first ride on an ICON of motorcycles and you purchased it at the same time. Wow man I'm telling you I have ridden all kinds of bikes in my like, from the fastest to the slowest. I purchased a 2021TDUB this year and your right hard to get that's for sure. Anyway people put ATV tires on that bike and do all kind of things to the bike sky is the limit for that bike. I have ridden on highway only several miles cruising approximately between 60-65 mph and you know it was not bad comfortable not bad at all. Yes do get the racks I got front and back carry a lot with the racks and they look good. I enjoyed your video ride safe take care.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video ! I agree with you I think I will have this thing for years to come I want to teach my kids how to ride it when they get old enough too, this things is a little goat that doesn't stop. I actually went out and filmed a gear set up for camping with this today, should have it uploaded soon!
@@escapingthegrind7000 great can't wait to see more I subscribe to your channel, keep up the god work. just be care when I ride I keep my head on swivel, and wow I have a lot of fun off road, trail riding, adventure riding, and of course street riding. The Tdub is jack of all trade and master to none, what a great bike
Great bike choice!
i got my first bike a month ago, a 300. so fun. all the best!

Thanks !! Good to know
I bought a new 2021 TW June 18th! Like you I'm excited and looking forward to many miles.
These bikes are amazing and will run forever you're going ti have nothing but smiles!! Keep an eye on my channel I will upload videos as much as I can.
Bought a 2021 On April 21st this year. The T Dub Club grows!
I ride mine on the streets only to get offroad.
They're a blast.
Change that front tire. It is a known issue for washing out. Popular choice is the Shinko 241 4 x 18
I couldn't agree more! I got a shinko 241 installed on it last month
Great bike choice, and great place to ride
Thank you, figured where better to learn than away from everyone possible lol.

Thank you! Yeah these were perfect for figuring out the bike, first bike I ever road and this spot was the best area for me to learn
Hey man this is awesome, I'm glad you found Dual sporting. I have a few bikes and the TW200 is one of them. The bike will last forever.
I wish I had found Dual sporting years ago, especially this tw200!
You have a truck but used a trailer to haul the bike ??
Yeah the back of my truck was full of stuff at that time, just didn't make sense to unload everything just to load up the bike to only drive it down the road 4 minutes.
@@escapingthegrind7000 that's why it's a dual sport... you can ride it on the road too...🤷♂️😱 especially if it's just 4 minutes away. 🐸☕
@@jimbrewster9352 thanks bud, had no idea 🤣🤣 you are full of info I was asking for.

"Upgraded rear sprocket?" Upgraded in what why: more teeth for dirt riding, or fewer teeth for the highway?
It has a 47t installed on it now, I am working on a video right now ill be uploading in a day or two, I have the stock Sprocket and after today's right I'm considering putting the stock one on lol. I do mostly trail riding

@@Xener09 one of the main reasons for towing this was that my bike wasn't plated yet and I had just bought it but couldn't wait to ride it lol
Great deal on the TDub. I have its older cousin, an 84 XT200. Nice looking trails!
What part of Ontario are you in? I'm in eastern Ontario.
In Renfrew County, but travel all over ontario to see other trails. How's the xt200 holding up ?

Damn bro did you even hit 3rd gear? Geez can you bog that mf out any more? 5th gear and 200 rpm ... wtf?
5th gear...??? Ha I barely hit 3rd .... was just learning bro. As the title read, was the first time on the bike 🤣. I appreciate your concern 👍
