This is a detailed instructional video on how to properly check and adjust the valves on my 2014 Yamaha TW200. It is the same for for all the years of the TW200 since the engine has remained pretty much the same besides the addition of an automatic cam chain tensioner, electric start, and the deletion of the kick start. let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching!

valve clearance (cold) spec:
Intake: 0.05 -0.09mm (0.002 - 0.004in)
exhaust: 0.11 - 0.15mm (0.004 - 0.006in)

torque specs:
locknut: 14Nm (10.3ftlb) (123.6inlb)
valve cover bolts: 10Nm (7.2ftlb) (86.4inlb) *****update, the manual says these bolts are 10nm and I have always tightened them down to that. But last time I checked my valves the lower bolt for the exhaust valve cover did not want to tighten down to spec like the others. I quickly stopped turning the bolt so I didn't strip it out, it is still plenty tight for now. but I would strongly recommend you tighten these bolts down to only 7nm (5.2ftlb) (I will make a video on this next time I adjust the valves)
Blind plugs: 7Nm (5.1ftlb) (61.2inlb)
fuel tank bolt: 7Nm (5.1ftlb) (61.2inlb)
