2003 Yamaha TW 200 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The clutch is not releasing sufficiently, it seems.

Alternately, some bikes will not run in gear if the kick stand is down. If the switch for that is not pushed sufficiently when the stand is up, you can have this problem.

see if there is a saftey switch on the kick stand that is probally your problem also chek the clutch cable adjustment put in gear pull the clutch and try to push it if its hard or locks up you need to adjust your clutch cable

Bike is 30yr. Ignition parts wear out. Spark wires wear from inside. The spark module or magnetic points cud b problm.Alsotiming may hav gottn out of wack from tightning chain-too much torque on loose internal stuf like the timing chain. Buy aclymer orhaynes shopbook

hi.
please excuse me if i seem to be asking obvious questions.

1. have you drained the tank and put fresh fuel in, preferrably with redex or equivalent fuel additive/cleaner

2. have you checked/cleaned the air filter.

3. have you checked and cleaned the spark plugs.

4. if there is a battery, is it charged and holding charge properly.

if you can answer YES to all of the above, then please tell me the make and model of the bike so i can give more specific advice on servicing a bike after storage.

if the answer for any of the above is NO, then try them first as they are general steps for starting any vehicle after any length of time in storage. if the bike still does not run properly, then i will need the make and model of the bike as there are different procedures for different types of carburetter, and different thing again if there is fuel injection.

please feel free to ask for further advice.

Hi the case breather pipe connects to the airbox.on the airbox you should see a connect coming off from it,this is where the crankcase breather pipes connects.find a natural route to this connector making sure the pipe does not snag/bend.Good luck

If you are positive the exhaust is not clogged, have you rebuilt the top end recently? The only thing I can think of is the piston is in backwards forcing the exhaust side to push into the carbs. The arrow on the piston always points to the exhaust ports.

Make sure that the tyre is completely off the rim beeding and push the tyre on the opposite side of the valve to the centre of the rim and then proceed to lever the tyre off (with tyre levers)about 100mm from valve on either end.

make sure you have undone the nut that secures the valve first.

Here are the possibilities > > Bent clutch push rod, missing push rod ball bearing or push rod, worn out actuator shaft cam, Missing friction disk (5), or pressure plate (4), totally worn out friction disks, clutch plates not installed in the correct sequence, extremely weak clutch springs, stripped teeth on the clutch hub, wrong clutch cable length (inner cable vs outer cable), broken shaft, bent then broken shift fork stems, broken slider gear dogs and a missing shift fork pin.

You didn't say if anyone had worked on the clutch or gearbox so I am throwing in nearly EVERYTHING possible that could create the problem. A little more background and most of the above can be ruled out. Get back to us.

Take it to the shop and have them test the charging system. That way you don't buy a stator that you can't return then find that the problem was the regulator or the rectifier.

This is a highly ill - eagle act to do. In the old days we would put an electric drill on the drive cable, but now they make them tamper proof so they only go one way. The bezels are crimped on so you can't get inside them. I expect modern one may be electronic. How will your insurance company know what mileage you have done? I have never known an insurance cancel or fine due to mileage. You should have just disconnected it when you got close to the limit. Buy a used one and use them for 6 months in turns.

Make sure the fuel is getting to the valve and passing through it. Possible blockage in fuel line or in the tank.
