EAU01106Drive chain lubrication
The chain consists of many parts
which work with each other. If the
chain is not maintained properly, it
will wear out quickly. Therefore,
the chain must be serviced regular-
ly. This service is especially neces-
sary when riding in dusty areas.
1. The drive chain should be
lubricated every 500 km. First,
remove all dirt and mud from
the chain with a brush or cloth.
Then, spray any of the many
brands of spray-type chain
lubricant between both rows
of side plates and on all center
rollers.
2. To clean the chain thoroughly,
remove it from the motorcycle,
dip it in solvent, and clean out
as much dirt as possible. Then,
take the chain out of the sol-
vent to dry it, and immediately
lubricate it to prevent it from
rusting.

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.

EAU01008Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motorcycles
receive a rigid inspection before
shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compres-
sion, or ignition systems can cause
poor starting and loss of power.
The troubleshooting chart
describes a quick, easy procedure
for making checks.
If your motorcycle requires any
repair, bring it to a Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a
Yamaha dealership have the tools,
experience, and know-how to
properly service your motorcycle.
Use only genuine Yamaha parts on
your motorcycle. Imitation parts
may look like Yamaha parts, but
they are often inferior.
Consequently, they have a shorter
service life and can lead to expen-
sive repair bills.
