Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several character-
istics of your motorcycle; such as
handling, braking, performance
and safety. Do not carry loosely
packed items that can shift.
Securely pack your heaviest items
close to the center of the motorcy-
cle, and distribute the weight
evenly from side to side. Check the
condition and pressure of your
tires. NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR
MOTORCYCLE. Make sure the
total weight of the cargo, rider,
passenger, and accessories (fair-
ing, saddlebags, etc. if approved
for this model) does not exceed
the maximum load of the motorcy-
cle. Operation of an overloaded
motorcycle could cause tire dam-
age, an accident, or even injury.

ger, and accessories.

EAU00668Tires
To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:
1. Tire air pressure
Always check and adjust the
tire pressure before operating
the motorcycle.
EW000082
w
Tire inflation pressure should be
checked and adjusted when the
temperature of the tire equals the
ambient air temperature. Tire infla-
tion pressure must be adjusted
according to total weight of cargo,
rider, passenger, and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc. if
approved for this model), and vehi-
cle speed.

Securely support the motorcycle
so there is no danger of it falling
over.
1. Visual check
Check for scratches or damage
on the inner tube and exces-
sive oil leakage from the front
fork.2. Operation check
Place the motorcycle on a level
place.
a. Hold the motorcycle in an
upright position and apply the
front brake.
b. Push down hard on the han-
dlebars several times and
check if the fork rebounds
smoothly.
EC000098
cC
If any damage or unsmooth move-
ment is found with the front fork,
consult a Yamaha dealer.
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.

When inspecting the battery, be
sure the breather hose is routed
correctly. If the breather hose is
positioned in such a way as to
cause battery electrolyte or gas to
exit onto the frame, structural and
cosmetic damage to the motorcy-
cle can occur.

Avoid touching the glass part of a
bulb. Keep it free from oil; other-
wise, the transparency of the
glass, life of the bulb, and lumi-
nous flux will be adversely affect-
ed. If oil gets on a bulb, thoroughly
clean it with a cloth moistened
with alcohol or lacquer thinner.
6. Install the bulb holder cover,
connector and headlight unit.
7. Install the cowling.
8. If the headlight beam adjust-
ment is necessary, ask a

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.
