EAU00794Steering inspection
Periodically inspect the condition
of the steering. Worn out or loose
steering bearings may be danger-
ous. Place a stand under the
engine to raise the front wheel off
the ground. Hold the lower end of
the front forks and try to move
them forward and backward. If any
free play can be felt, ask a Yamaha
dealer to inspect and adjust the
steering. Inspection is easier if the
front wheel is removed.

Supporting the motorcycle
Since the Yamaha TW200E has no
centerstand, follow these precau-
tions when removing the front and
rear wheel or performing other
maintenance requiring the motor-
cycle to stand upright.
Front wheel service:
To stabilize the rear of the motor-
cycle, either use a motorcycle
stand or place a motorcycle jack
under the frame in front of the rear
wheel to prevent it from moving
from side to side. Then use a
motorcycle stand to elevate the
front wheel off of the ground.
Rear wheel service:
Use a motorcycle stand or motor-
cycle jack to elevate the motorcycle
so the rear wheel is off the ground.
Alternatively, two jacks can be
placed under the frame or
swingarm.Check that the motorcycle is in a
stable and level position before
starting any maintenance. A strong
wooden box can be placed under
the engine for added stability.
