Dude, that is crazy good gains that you can get out of the bike. I like how you explain what will the outcome of the mods will be. Of course it will get worse mileage, but like you said, if you are looking at these mods, fuel shouldn't be a concern! Thanks for bringing out what all the TW folks have been asking for over the years!
Thank you for explaining that the modifcations move the power band higher up in the rev range. This is important if you are charging up sand dunes, or just looking to go faster, quicker, and that the stock engine is better suited to "tractoring around" offroad. Very helpful information in determining what you want your TW to do!
This is really great! Thanks for making it all available. Do you have similar testing results for the mid-range cam? I'm concerned about the stiffer springs required for the bigger cam causing accelerated wear on the cam chain. Also, the smaller cam might shift the curves to the left putting more power where I'd actually use it.
Dont know why your video showed up on my feed but I thought it cool your shop is in Batesville AR where my family is from...in fact my great grandfather was one of the original settlers in the area.
Don't know too many people who would get excited about 2-3 hp increase... other than Tdub owners ha ha.... thats a big boost percentage wise. This coupled with an oil cooler and some mild tires might be the ticket for the highway and moto camping riders, or the bobber builders. Would be interesting to see how well this would perform on extended highway runs with properly tuned fueling/air/exhaust. Personally I rarely get over 45mph ha ha.
Do you have this info graphs posted anywhere with the mid rpm cams? Most all my hard riding is in the 3500 to 7500 range, 7k and up screams😂. You mentioned testing with others, but were these test results with the stock sprockets?
@@christoforospilitsis541 its not much of a choice. It is all based on the carburetor. The midcam is the biggest we can run with the stock carb due to vacuum loss. To take advantage of the big cam you need the big FCR 33 carb.
@bradleyperformanceproducts If we can't afford the entire engine performance package what'd kit do you recommend without other modifications? (Looking into the bore kit only) Plus what sprocket kit do recommend that gain speed but somewhat keeps torque
@@joshuaholdread9153 my recommendation would be to use a full exhaust, a jet kit, the air box mod, and the cam sprocket. This will allow you to get the most out of the engine without cracking it open. This will also help with the additional torque needed to pull a 47 tooth rear sprocket for some more speed.
@joshuaholdread9153 JD jetting, Dyno jet, sigma, or procycle. The cheaper ones are cheaper because all you are getting is jets. The more expensive kits come with an encyclopedia of jetting tips and tricks. They are worth the money.
This may be an already answered question or be stupid, how feasible or practical would it be to just swap in a yahama 250 engine from across the lineup, instead of building up the 200?
Someone that has done it might chime in here. The biggest thing is that you're buying another bike or at least the power train. You will need an output shaft extension, swap the ignition cover. Not sure what else is required. I would say that it is very expensive for some and probably not very for others depending on parts availability.
@@MOBStreet83 Definitely agree with this, two different machines... I think the limits of the big ol tires might start showing the faster you push this thing on the highway, cornering and especially braking might get ... interesting.

That's pretty impressive gains from a T-Dub !!!! Very nice......
Thank you for all you've done for the tw200. You are awesome, thanks for your time. Love to here about a tw round up in your neck of the woods
Nice Video! Fork Springs are next, but will definitely put your motor mods on my list! THX!
Nice explanation!! I’ll be coming to you when I need more power!
Man that's AWESOME man..great job..love this info..very exciting
great work. Tdub is an awesome bike, and this helps bridge the gap for modern outputs while still keeping much of the versatility.
Thanks for leading the way to a more user hwy TW Bradley.

Yes, stock sprockets. I will work on publishing the Dyno runs for the mid range cam. It looks about the same with slightly less on the top.
Whats the difference on the bottom,with the mid cam,from stock?
@@christoforospilitsis541 its not much of a choice. It is all based on the carburetor. The midcam is the biggest we can run with the stock carb due to vacuum loss. To take advantage of the big cam you need the big FCR 33 carb.
Turbo kit ?,with nos ?
What is the speed difference? And your sprocket teeth count
@@joshuaholdread9153 we Dyno test with stock sprockets. This means that the top speed will not change without changing sprockets to faster gearing.

Do you offer an engine performance for XT 250. I just ordered a skid plate and foot pegs off you and I am expecting delivery today.
Unfortunately at the moment we do not. I'm not sure if we are going to go down that road or not.
@@bradleyperformanceproducts I understand buddy
Hey Bradley awesome awesome!! Any chance I can get a cam card for the high rpm cam?
@@michaelwillis6218 partially. We offer the lift numbers but not the duration numbers. Those are proprietary to the manufacturer.
Ok I read approx .1 over stock . Is that lobe or valve lift?

@@bradleyperformanceproducts I think overall, it is just worth having both bikes once all costs of the swap are considered.

A TW200 with your carb, big bore kit, head and exhaust, whats the reliability like for long haul?
Although most would disagree, I think it is as reliable as a Yamaha 225/250 because that's what we are essentially converting it to.
@bradleyperformanceproducts thanks for the speedy reply!
Probably just gonna swap in a cp2 engine.
