I bought a new TW -200 last year. It is a great beginners bike , nice and safe...I thought. After Winter last year i started up my new bike with less than 300 miles on it. I let it warm up over 5 minutes. I pulled in the clutch put it in first gear and it threw me off with the clutch all the way in. I was thrown for a bad fall my helmet out on my car. I have a TBI. from this. I couldn't walk for 3 months. I called Yamaha INC. and they offered no help. I called several dealers and I was told you need to pull the clutch in 5 or 6 times on these bikes before engaging gears. It says nothing about that in the user guide. I would never purchase anything from Yamaha. After a painful forgetful Winter I bought a new Honda CRF 250 L Much better, Greg Hibbard.
