Thanks Mike! So far the rack has been hauling my kids around. I have been looking for some saddlebags or panniers to add to it. I have seen some folks use the Pelican looking box from Harbor Freight and have really good luck with it. But, I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate it!
Very informative! I am interested in that headlight. I went with the Cycra probend CRM hand guards. Your videos are always helpful and entertaining. Great hat by the way.
Just installed the Shinko 241 front tire, seems like a good improvement. The Dunlop K180 looks like a glorified Death Wing. I have 2 inch risers and Pro Taper bars on mine which make all the difference when standing, regardless of your height. Good video!
The Shinko has been an awesome tire on my 2019. I bought these because I love the flat track influence and being able to find another set of tires in the stock TW sizing was awesome. They have been really good so far except the loose stuff I mentioned in the video. I plan on doing full review just on the tires. With those risers, did you have to modify any cables at all?
Appreciate another good video. Thinking about upgrading to 1 1/8 handle bars, hoping the install isn’t too painful. I understand it will eliminate the crossbar in installing hand guards. Still waiting for the call to pick up my 2021 TW...sigh Also, I got the stainless skid plate, but like that look betta.
Thanks for watching! I have wanted to add 1 1/8" bars on this as well but the ones I wanted weren't in stock so that will have to be in a later video. The change up shouldn't be too bad as long as they aren't monster tall! I have the silver skid plate on my 2019, but I think I want another one of these for that one as well!
Matt, great video as usual and great information! With the tusk handle bar risers did you have to mod the cables? I am thinking of getting them. Also I just installed the same black skid plate. I would have been lost without your install video so thank you keep the vids coming!
Hey Zach, thanks for taking the time to watch, I appreciate it! The only thing I had to do with the risers is take off the cable clamp on both sides just so I could move the cables a bit. I did reposition my brake line barely, but didn't have to remove anything or extend anything. They're sweet to have! I hope that helps. Thanks again!
I am sure they do! I wanted to get some of the 1 1/8 bars but the ones I wanted weren't in stock.......so that add-on will have to come in another video. What bars are you running?
gREAT VIDEO! I am looking at one of the YAMMies myself. Looks more than adequate for just pokin' around where i live. Where are you guys? You mentioned Rocky Mtn ATV a couple times. I believe those guys are in Utah. Nice terrain for motor bike adventures looks like!
Thanks Joel! I'm glad you liked the video. Yeah, it is great for just milling around. You're right, we're out in Utah. This bike is perfect out here and is perfect for a lot of other places as well! Thanks for watching!
@@MOBStreet83 love utah! lived there for several years and i have family there also. i retired a while back, and take care of an elderly parent here in tennessee. someday, hope to move back. smaller towns suit me best. i am having to wait on the TW200 here, as my local dealer won't get any more until march. so i am going up this weekend to drop a deposit to get one then. the TW looks like a good bet for me these days, since i don't do "crazy" anymore. the dealer tells me $5600 with all the fee stuff and assorted bs. until then, i will save my pennies and gather up a helmet and such. HAPPY TRAILS TDUBBER!!! See you in moab or in the utah outback someday...
For the sound coming off of that skid plate you could get sound deadening material, they make it to go in cars under carpet or you could probably find some sort of rubber with adhesive on one side and just put that on the inside of the skid plate to absorb sound instead of deflecting it. 🤔
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I haven't had them in sand yet, but they do get a bit squirrely in the soft, loose dirt. It's more controlled though than I thought it would be. I'll get a review on them soon and let you know!
¡¡Hola Guillermo !! Me alegro que te hayan gustado los videos. ¡Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de verlos y dejar un comentario! ¡Espero que disfrutes de tu nuevo TW200! ¡Todo lo mejor! Matt
Not a whole lot really. The major differences were made in 2001. The went to a disc brake front and got rid of the kickstart. Here's a video I did on the differences if you want. ua-cam.com/video/1zQs9TaTSzA/v-deo.html
After watching your video I went and bought the Tach Ind taillight. Huge improvement, especially with using the integrated turn signals. You planning on doing anything with the carb or exhaust?
Sweet! I am glad you like it! I didn't want to do anything with the exhaust on my 2019 just so I could keep it quiet while in the hills. With the 2021 I am leaning towards the FMF silencer. I have been looking at Vance and Hines, Two Brothers Exhaust and others to see if they offer anything, but so far FMF is really the only one I would consider. So, we'll see if it ends up on the bike.
@@MOBStreet83 Cool, looking forward to hearing what you find out. I've got the DG v2, found you can vary the loudness quite a bit with all the different sized inserts (decided on 1.25").
Hi Matt. I like all of your mods but I must do something with my seat because it is hard as a rock. Have you considered Seat Concepts for a smoother ride?
Hey Mark! Thanks for watching. As far as the seat goes, I haven't really seen anything other than Seat Concepts. Coming from the Harley Davidson aftermarket world I have thought of reaching out to Mustang Seats and others since they make seats for metric bikes as well. I thought that there has been and still is enough interest in the TW community about a different seat that these manufacturers might just take note and create one. I've seen different seat covers and pads but nothing as far as full replacement yet.
Your bike is getting really nice !! i have a question for you have you experience leaking gas from the gas cap when the bike is laying down when for a ride whit a friend and hes 2021 tw200 was leaking really bad from the gas cap trying tighten the cap the best we can but still leak bad i dont know if all tw are like this especially brand new or he just got a defective cap?
@@MOBStreet83 Hi Matt i think he just have a defective cap hes taking it to the dealer to have it check out also have some bad rusting on the back tire swing arm and the frame hope they able to fix that is not even a month old bike and is rusting and flaking paint, but that aside after riding hes bike i think i might get me one but going to wait to see how Yamaha handle this situation thanks for the feed back and your awesome vids!
You picked up a 2012 for $2,000?!? That is awesome! I am glad the videos helped but I'm kinda jealous I haven't ran across a deal like that on one yet! 😂
I hear you! My father in law has had one on order for a couple months and he hasn't heard when it'll be here. Patience is a virtue, but you're right, it sucks!
Hi. Got a 2022 TW and wanting to swap out the “death wing” with something else. I’ll be doing mostly 35-45 mph commuting on side roads 90% of the time and “dirtbiI know you have tried a few different tires….What front tire do you recommend.
Sorry for the broken comment. Don’t know what happened there. Anyways. Just want to know what front tire you recommend for mostly road use. Also, thank you for getting back to me on my last question and I just ordered a cycle rack. Thank you for posting your videos. I enjoy watching them and they were a big reason I decided to get my 2022 TW!
Hey Bart!! I used my stock tire on my 2019 for almost 2200 miles. I never had an issue with the stock tire on the road. HOWEVER, I really like the Dunlop K180 on the road but they cost about $135. But, the best overall tire I have used so far is the Shinko SR241. I love that tire on everything. It sticks like glue and it is great on the road as well. That being said though, the rubber compound on the Shinko is a lot softer than the stock or the Dunlop so I don't know exactly how long it will last. But you can buy three of the Shinkos for the cost of the Dunlop.........So, best value I would say is the Shinko. Here is the link if you're interested. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/tires-and-wheels/shinko-sr241-series-trials-tire-p?ref=1033& Hope that helps!
It has a load carrying capacity of 397lbs. I am 235 and my wife rides with me all the time. She is no where near what I am and it carries the both of us just fine. I think you'd be good!
I really want some new foot pegs , I'm hoping to get those pegs you have from Rocky Mountain but they aren't on the site, I'll give it another month or two and then I guess I'll just have to order something else if they aren't available yet.
See, the previous color is my favorite so far. this new color is great, but I am still a fan of the last version. That's what great about it, we can all make them our own!
I haven't needed to yet. I have looked into it, but I haven't ever had anything where I thought "Well, gotta swap those out next." I am sure I will swap out at least the front springs....but it just hasn't needed to be done so far.
@@MOBStreet83 I don't own a TW yet but I've been thinking about getting one and doing some research. Do you bottom out a lot? The only reason I'm asking is because I'm 220 lbs and it's recommended that if you're over 185 to upgrade your rear spring spring but that could be just a manufacturer trying to sell thier product.
@@hippopbebop62 They are great!! The Only time I have hit bottom is when I jumping the bike super hard. I am 230 lbs and I haven't done anything to it yet. My wife and I ride together often and I haven't had an issue. I don't ride crazy knarly stuff with my wife, but we cruise dirt trails and roads and it's been great. Before you do anything to it, get one and try it for yourself and see how it reacts to your type and style of riding and then go from there. I've had mine for over two years and I am still running stock suspension. I hope that helps!
Great video. It would be cool to see what you load that Cycleracks with some bags and stuff. Always love your videos Matt

Very informative! I am interested in that headlight. I went with the Cycra probend CRM hand guards. Your videos are always helpful and entertaining. Great hat by the way.

super stoked on the new parts! Great video bro!
Thanks man!! I appreciate it. Gonna be making some adjustments to your bike soon!
As always Great Presentation, Thanks!
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Please make a TW fan a bigger fan thank you Matt
I'm trying to Bob! Any specific questions or things about the bike you'd like to see more of?
Looking good. Getting it all set up!!!
Thanks! It actually feels like a different bike than the 2019. It's crazy how a few little differences make the bike feel different.

Hey! Congrats on the new Tdub! Thanks for taking the time to watch, I hope they are useful.
Another great video Matt...bike looking sweet.👍👍👍
Thanks Chris, I appreciate it!

Nobody will make a new seat pan for the units that are sold. The seat concepts item is as good as it gets.
Were you able to keep the factory cables with those risers?
Yep! I should have bought them sooner. They are well worth it and no mods needed to the cables or electrical.
do you like the tach Ind light or the JNS light better?
They are both great lights. I like the Tach because it is less money and customer service was top notch.

No issues using the risers & stock cables?
Nope! Everything worked out just fine and no real adjustments were needed with the wiring or the cables.

Great! Ordered em for my 2012.
Thanks for all your informative videos, scored one recently for 2K, watching you encouraged the purchase.
You picked up a 2012 for $2,000?!? That is awesome! I am glad the videos helped but I'm kinda jealous I haven't ran across a deal like that on one yet! 😂
Would the front rack work if you installed it upside down so it would be above the light?
It would take some slight modifying. You'd have to cut and reweld the mounting points. Or.....you could just buy the ManRacks front rack.
With the 30mm bar risers did affect the cables being stretched to much?
Nope, they fit just fine!! Well worth it!
Very good thanks for quick reply,great videos by the way
So what do we do about those Mickey Mouse Mirrors? Rectangulars? And I heard threads are odd ball size.
I've been wondering the same thing. I have thought of buying bar end mirrors but I don't know if they'll work with the hand guards
DoubleTake Adventure Mirrors (6" RAM Arm Ball Mount + Reverse Thread Adapter for the right side). About $136 for the pair with adapter.
I've been wondering how those are. That seems like a bit much for a set of mirrors.....how have they been for you?
Looking good
やっぱりTW最高😃⤴️⤴️

Well I think everyone should own a TW at least once. I recommend it!
Don't know what they were thinking with previous color
See, the previous color is my favorite so far. this new color is great, but I am still a fan of the last version. That's what great about it, we can all make them our own!
2015 TW, Mines is a greenish gray, It blends in, but Black or silver frame color would be best, I'm down in Florida, otherwise, I'd say lets trade
Same pegs, skid plate,brush guards, just ordered some mirrors with reverse thread adapter on amazon, let see how that goes
I don’t like front fender , to low looks bad
That's not a problem, they make kits that lift the front fender and install it right under the lower triple tree.
@@MOBStreet83 who makes the fender kit ?? And in calif the signals have to b 8 inches apart. So that tail light is actually illegal in Kalifornia.
