Hi Andreas !

Thanx for the sharing of your pictures. Getting more out the TW motor is our main problem. The 4 strokes 125 cc engine is reliable but rather weak. Some of us have customized their air box, here is a link (with pics) which shows how to proceed : AIR BOX (http://yamaha.tw.free.fr/filtre_boite_air_tw.htm#boite)

Here is another link about the power increasing of the engine :
 PREPARATIONS (http://216.239.39.104/translate_c?&langpair=fr%7Cen&u=http://yamaha.tw.free.fr/preparation_preparateur_tw.htm) (thank you Olox)

The exhaust on your bike is very nice, is it  custom made ?


 ;-)

I'll translate your post for the others forum members ...

Welcome !

Please to see Big Wheels Addicts from Norway!

For the "how to get more from this 125cc", there is some little customs which can help, but nothing really fantastic. You should use a translator (french to english ?) for these pages :

Additionnaly, you'll find there (http://twmen.free.fr/) some galleries where forumers put pics of theirs TW's (and Van Van).

Feel free to post yours (mailto: twmen@nnick.org)

 :-P  It nearly looks like my "shamy" pot !! It's exactly how mine is painted !!

Seems like you've removed the whole outlet of your exhaust !! Must be noisy !!

Brother Twin,

I was thinking about your exhaust when I saw Andreas' one. Same colour, same spirit ... Great exhausts spark alike ...

 :-D

=) It is a little bit noisy, i have taken out all the shit inside the pot, and weld 3 plates whith some holes in the middle og the pot...so i get a big nice hole at the end...and you can`t see the plates..wery nice i think;)    It gives a very sharp and raw sound=) I like when bikes sound...it`s cool....   Nice bike there...what is the ligt ting on your bike? Neon lights? or? :-o  :-)

Hmm..has anyone tried bigger Pignon Couronne (sprocket)
I have the 52 rear sprocket...I like it when the bike accelerate...had been funny to tried the 58 sprocket=) hehe

Pignon Couronne Vmax (km/h)  
9.000 14 50 100
9.000 14 52 97
9.000 14 54 93
9.000 14 56 90
9.000 14 58 87

I've tried the 54 rear sprocket ... It was great. The bike seems to be more powerful with a bigger sprocket, it's gathering speed quickly and the acceleration was better . But the engine speed was high (more than 10 000 rounds per minute at 100/110 kmh)... I'm using my bike on fastlanes and i didn't want to keep the 54 rear sprocket cause the engine speed was way too high.

Anyway, a bigger sprocket is good for country free rides and for city rides. A board member named christddel tried various sizes : 47, 52, 54 and even the 58 sprocket ... He said that wheelings are yours with a 58 !!!

 :-)

Thanx for the explanation ...

 :-)

   North men are definitively mad or deaf.... :-D

by Santa Claus :-o ,

this is the most faboulous pot i've ever seen.  Looks that you got very nice policemen in Norway, or maybe to few of them  :-D  

btw, happy to see that the TW goes across all contries

have fun and good rides  ;-)

 8-)  :-D

of course, the original one, the best  :-D

No, in fact this is just reflecting tape (http://www.lemotard.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_52&products_id=237&language=en) .

It's manufactured by http://www.midway-prod.com/ (http://www.midway-prod.com/)

Thanks...When you say faboulous pot. do you mean it in a god or a bad way? hehe:) Where i live is it few policemen. Hehe...and they dont know anything about motorscycles...so its very nice=) =) hehe...

Hog
 Thanks for your sprocket answer...do you know where i can get the 58 sprocket? hehe=)

TWin
Thanks for your answer too=)

Im very impressed of you guys...you are really great people=) all of you;)  

Nice to see that we for different contries can share knowledge of the bike=)  

well, i have heard that yamaha have made a motor that is just like 125,200,225 whatever..but the pistons are just changed and the 125 have a sleeve in the cylinder than can be taken out at people can set on a 225 piston...
I have not tried to take up the sylinder too look in it...has anyoen done it? well... it had been cool with a 225 tw.....

In norway they say....you don`t trim a yamaha you just make it a real 225ccm...the bike is built for 225ccm=)

last year, i was at Geilo for a snowkite session, i can say that the Norway's people are very very nice and cool too !!;-)
