Yamaha TW200 Oil Change // Quick & Easy // First Oil Change

Your motorcycles oil is the blood that keeps your bike going. Having clean oil is important for the bikes engine, clutch and overall health. It is best to change your oil every couple thousand miles, or whatever your owners manual recommends. In this case, my bike is due for its first oil change. Yamaha says to change the oil on your new bike at 600 miles or 1 month (which ever comes first). I’ve had the bike a bit longer then 1 month, and have driven just under 600 miles. You can see my oil has debris in it from the clutch and engine breaking in, this is common in a new motorcycle. It is also common to see dirty oil if you haven’t change your oil in a while. I believe you can clean the original oil filter on this bike, but a new oil filter will run you around 10 bucks, so I went that route. All together the oil change is super easy, and I recommend doing it yourself because it will save you a lot of money versus going to a dealership!

Thank you for making these videos. I just bought a TW200 and have never done this type of maintenance on a motorcycle as this is my first one, so these videos really help. Keep up the good work

Wow, dirt bikes with oil filters!?! A lot has changed since the 70’s era bikes.

As long as you use the proper motorcycle synthetic oil, synthetic should be perfectly OK with this bike
You want to make sure that the synthetic oil is compatible with a wet clutch. So standard full synthetic motorcycle oil will work just fine. Don’t use car oil with Motorcycles unless you know exactly what you’re doing :-)

You still haven't purchased the ricochet skid plate 👀 but thanks for sharing your videos 👍

🇺🇲👍🏼😎👍🏼🇺🇲 Just picked up my 2022 TW200 great job on the video simplicity 🤙🏼

Great video thinking about getting my son a TDub but 4, 000 miles between oil changes?. Never heard of that before even in a manual I've always did all my bikes like Each Quart =1, 000 miles. So my KLX (just over a qt) gets it every 1, 000 and my CB750 gets it every 3, 000 (holds 3qts).They are tough bikes though.

Theres a sight glass on the side of the engine to fill with the correct amount of oil.

[MrPatrickgannon]

Thanks for that info and the video, I have 400 miles on my TDUB was wondering when I should do an oil change thanks.

That oil filter you took out, looks like its reusable and you can clean it.?

[yamittr]

I'm half way there, get rid of that pop can they call a skid plate.

I know a lot of you want to know or maybe already know the difference Between Petroleum based SAE regular Oil and Synthetic Oil so here's the difference.
Regular oil has molecules that vary in size, some are bigger which in turn lets the bearings and surfaces that need oil ride on the bigger molecules letting the little ones pass through giving you a little less protection compared to Synthetic oil, which wears out regular oil faster due to causing more heat and wear.
Now Synthetic Oil is Man Made oil and almost all the molecules are the same size, therefor letting more bearing surface ride on more oil surface give you more bearing protection and dissipating heat better which lets the oil last longer. It is also less prone to friction, so that's why when you use Synthetic oil in a motorcycle with a WET CLUTCH it must have additives so that the Synthetic oil will let the clutch grip and not slip, and we all know what could happen if a clutch slips to much, so if you use Synthetic Oil in a motorcycle with a wet clutch MAKE SURE it is and has the wet clutch additives in it, It will say so on the bottle if not do not use regular Synthetic oil at all.

Why is the original filter different than the replacement? The replacement is just pleated paper, the original is just a brass mesh???
