    This could be a good place for the select few tw200 owners to keep in touch. I recently had a problem burning out the windings on my stator. This was a costly time consuming problem as I was on a country camping trip. Luckily coming towards the end of the holiday. The bike was loaded up with my backpack and tent - so a little overweight and I was riding from Lithgow towards Bathurst running along about 100 km when the engine died. There was almost no oil in there. So check your oil levels daily as the oil cools the stator windings. This bike is great offroad on fire trails (eg around Lithgow) or on road as it can cruise along at 110 Km per hour which is the general freeway speed limit in New South Wales. Well keep writing and riding.
