Hi all. I'm quite new here but I had to post. Just took my first shakedown run on a partially rebuilt YTM200ER. It was so nice to ride a fat tire 3 wheeler again after all these years. I haven't had a 3 wheeler in 28 years! What an amazing thrill. Unfortunately, my friend and I both forgot our phones or cameras. Going again first thing in the morning so pics will come, maybe video as well. I had forgot how fun it can be to throw a 3 wheeler around on fun trails. I was almost as fast on it as I was on the TRX300FW I just sold. Not bad for a guy who turns 40 next year. But....
I did get and still am getting, a bit of white smoke out the pipe. I am thinking it is just a bit of built up condensation in the pipe or head. But it did smoke for the whole one and a half hour run. Maybe Mix?
Anyway. I'll post a please help me thread later, I am just so excited to be 3 wheeling again I had to post.
I will say one more thing. Wow, that is a very powerful 200! This is my first Yamaha and I must say I am very impressed. Tomorrow I'll get pics from iPhone so I can also upload the trail we ride on Google maps and share.
Bye. Thomas.
