Tire

• The front tire is a Bridgestone 203 130/80-18
• The rear tire is a Bridgestone 204 180/80-14

"The front tire was 130/80-18! I've had sportbikes with this as a REAR tire which could happily exceed 90MPH! (although sans the knobbies!). The rear tire was a whopping 180/80-14! " Flyin' Al's Yamaha TW200

front:
130 - 130mm width (5.1 inches)
80 - aspect ratio (80 percent)
104 - tire height (rim to tread) (130 * .80)
18 - 18 inches rim diameter

rear:
180 - 180mm width (7 inches)
80 - aspect ratio (80 percent)
144 - tire height (rim to tread) (130 * .80)
14 - 14 inches rim diameter

Battery

The Yamaha TW200 motorcycle uses a wet YB7C-A battery.

Here are some replacement options:

• MotoBatt MB7CA - A sealed, non-spillable AGM battery that increases cold cranking amps by almost 70%.

Here are some close replacement options that require padding for fit:

• Mighty Max YTX5L-BS GEL - A 12V 4AH maintenance-free GEL battery that can be mounted in any position and doesn't require water.
• YTZ7S (much smaller)

"The bike rack works awesome for my Yamaha TW200 motorcycle. The fat tires on the TW 200 are not a problem. Buy good straps! i have a 3 inch lift on my Toyota Tacoma with 32 inch tires. i was concerned that the lifted truck would be a problem. I have used it on 2 trips to the beach about 100 miles each way. I have had no real problem getting the bike on/off the rack but i have had an extra person both times to insure the motorcycle remained upright during loading. i will always probably prefer to have a second person available on the loading/unloading of the motorcycle but would not hesitate to do it myself if circumstances dictated it. Unloading the bike has not been a problem,but again i would prefer to have an additional body available for this task. Both times i have loaded the vehicle i have powered it up the ramp(not recommended in the literature),but again i have a lifted truck and it is a tough push to get the bike up that high. I am considering devising a secondary ramp to make this a little easier. It would be a great advantage if the manufacturer offered a 18" to 24" longer ramp as an option or accessorary for those of us with lifted rigs, or for those of us that want to make the task easier. Are you listening manufacturer???The great advantage is i don't have to have a licensed trailer sitting on my lot deteriorating in the weather, and the rack is easily stored in my shed. I am a larger strong man and it might be a little more difficult to take the rack on and off if you are neither. The bottom line for me is i don't have to store a trailer or keep it licensed and i can take my bike with me whenever i go on my many outdoor forays."

"Just cause I did it does not mean it should be done. I Have a 27 foot fifth wheel that I put a class II reciever on. The heaviest the trailer could have. {so I was told} I wanted to take my bike, a TW200 on a deer hunt in Arizona, I live in Idaho. I got the bike carrier, shortend the tongue as much as I could that the bike would still clear. Loaded up the bike, about 300 pounds and took off. I pushed everything to the limmit and then some and did it for 2476 miles. No problems. If you notice, the people that complained it was to flimsy, not one had a failure they just thought it seemed to weak, and it does. The carrier is not ridged but it is more than strong enough for it's purpose. These type of carriers creat more tork than the same tongue wieght of a trailer so check for stress cracks in your welds and metal from the carrier to the frame of the tow rig."

Carburetor

2000 TW200 Carburetor

2JY-14301-03-00  NON CA model

2JX-14301-02-00  CA only model

"The 2000 Yamaha TW200 was the final year Yamaha used the original Mikuni TK26 slide-style carburetor (OEM Part Number 2JY-14301-03-00 for non-California models, or 2JX-14301-02-00 for California models). In 2001, Yamaha switched to the CV-style carburetor (5FY-14301 Series), which requires a different intake boot."

• 2JX-14301-02-00 (CA Only): Built with extra fittings, ports, or specific jetting required to meet California air resource board rules.
• 2JY-14301-03-00 (U49 / Non-CA): Built for standard federal emission standards in the rest of the United States.

• Interchangeability: They generally mount the same way on the Yamaha TW200 engine, but the external vacuum/vent lines and minor internal brass or jet configurations can differ due to emissions equipment. Using the wrong type can cause vacuum leaks or running issues if the corresponding emissions hoses are missing or blocked.

2JY-14301-02-00 this specific revision has generally been superseded by 2JY-14301-03-00

• Yamaha part number 2JY-14301-03-00 is a direct manufacturer supersession and updated replacement for the older part number 2JY-14301-02-00 (both representing the non-California carburetor assembly for the Yamaha TW200 Trailway).

Elevation Jets

Main Jet:

• 115 - sea level
• 110 - 5,000 - 6,000 ft
• 105 - 6,000 - 9,000 ft

Pilot Jet:

• 40 - sea level
• 35 - 5,000 - 6,000 ft
• 32 - 6,000 - 9,000 ft

Out of the box, the NIBBI PE28 comes jetted for sea-level operation (installed with a #115 Main Jet and #40 Pilot Jet). However, NIBBI includes smaller spare jets (#112, #110 Main and #35 Pilot) in the box.

Denver / Front Range (5,000–6,000 ft): Use the included #110 Main Jet and #35 Pilot Jet.

High Mountain Trails (6,000–9,000 ft): Purchase an additional NIBBI PE Main Jet Kit and install a #105 Main Jet and a #32 Pilot Jet.

Jetting Tuning

The Main Jet is for when you are ridding with the throttle fully open, and the pilot / idle jet is for when you are idling.

Baseline Jetting Starting Point

For the TW200 setups using a Nibbi PE28 Carburetor, initial starting baselines depend on elevation and intake/exhaust modifications:

• Main Jet:
  • #110 to #115
• Pilot (Idle) Jet: #35 to #38
• Needle Clip:
  • 3rd slot from the top (middle position)
• Air/Fuel Mixture Screw:
  • 1.5 to 2.0 turns out from fully seated

1. Establish Idle with Pilot Jet:

Warm up the engine completely. Adjust the fuel mixture screw until the engine idles at its highest, smoothest RPM. If the screw ends up less than 1 turn out, drop to a smaller pilot jet; if it needs more than 2.5 turns out, go up a size.

2. Set Mid-Range with Needle Position:

Test throttle response between 1/4 and 3/4 throttle. If the engine bogs or sputters when opening the throttle, lower the needle clip (raises needle = richer). If it stutters or feels sluggish, raise the clip (lowers needle = leaner).

3. Tune High-RPM with Main Jet:

Do a wide-open throttle run in top gear, then pull the clutch in and turn off the engine to perform a spark plug read. A light tan plug insulator indicates optimal main jetting; dark black indicates a rich condition (needs a smaller jet), and white indicates lean (needs a larger jet).

Vacuum Leak Check

Always check for air leaks around the manifold boot spray testing with carburetor cleaner while idling before tuning. A vacuum leak mimics a lean jetting condition and can lead to engine damage if unaddressed.

To verify a successful tune, throttle response should be crisp from idle through full RPM without backfiring, flat spots, or plug fouling.

NON-CA Model:

• 5FY-14301-00-00
• 5FY-14301-10-00

CA Model:

• 5FY-14301-20-00

---

• Federal / 49-State Model (U49): Uses part number 5FY-14301-10-00.
• California Model (CAL): Uses part number 5FY-14301-20-00 (which also corresponds to or replaces initial 5FY-14301-00-00 California specifications on microfiche).
• Difference: California variants include specific evaporative emission control plumbing, unique jetting, or auxiliary hose fittings required to meet stricter state emissions standards.
