Features

 

Key Features:

 

  • YZ-bred advanced aluminum frame—carefully engineered from castings, forgings and extrusions—enhances handling while retaining legendary Yamaha feel and characteristics.

  • Highly evolved high-revving five-titanium-valved engine starts with the push of a button.

  • Cool digital enduro computer offers speedometer, clock, tripmeter, etc., in basic mode—or pace management functions such as timer, distance-compensating tripmeter, average speed, etc., when switched to race mode.

  • The WR250F is green sticker approved for California.

     

    Engine:

     

  • 249cc liquid-cooled, DOHC four-stroke with five titanium valves delivers excellent low- and midrange power, with high over-rev capacity and crisp, linear throttle response.

  • Special WR camshafts, carburetion, and exhaust and ignition systems work together to produce a quick-revving engine with great low- and midrange power.

  • 37mm Keihin FCR flat-slide carburetor with throttle position sensor (TPS) ensures ultra-precise fuel/air mixing and lightning-quick throttle response.

  • Close-ratio five-speed gearbox tackles almost any terrain.

  • “No tools” airbox uses hinge-type quick-open lid. Battery rides low for excellent handling.

  • Digital CDI ignition system delivers more precise spark and monitors engine speed to ensure optimal timing for fast, strong response during hard acceleration.

  • Large-capacity radiators with reinforcements ensure maximum cooling efficiency with great strength.

  • Lightweight exhaust system maximizes engine power and allows hassle-free replacement of oil filter.

  • Aluminum muffler with USFS-approved spark arrestor looks trick and keeps things light.

  • Works-style clutch lever features oversize barrel adjuster for easy, on-the-fly adjustability of lever/cable play.

  • Electric start ensures easy restarts.
  •  

    Chassis/Suspension:

     

  • YZ-inspired aluminum frame reduces weight while optimizing mass centralization. An extensively tested assembly of aluminum forgings, castings and extrusions, the WR frame retains legendary Yamaha handling and response.

  • Removable aluminum rear subframe constructed of square-section tube for reduced weight.

  • Fully adjustable air-/oil-separate 48mm fork tubes deliver precise, fade-free handling; fork protectors provide excellent tube protection.

  • Tapered swingarm uses YZ-style linkage for controlled, compliant rear suspension action. Axle and holders reduce weight in a critical area.

  • The KYB® shock provides 12.2 inches of travel with adjusters for high- and low-speed compression damping, rebound and spring preload—and features a larger piggyback reservoir for excellent damping and fade resistance.

  • Wave disc brake rotors front and rear reduce unsprung weight and provide excellent performance. Front and rear calipers with aluminum pistons deliver strong stopping power with progressive feel.

  • Lightweight 21-inch front and 18-inch rear rims provide exceptional durability and help reduce unsprung weight for optimal suspension performance.

  • Premium Dunlop® knobbies offer unbeatable, competition-spec traction and excellent wear.
  •  

    Additional Features:

     

  • Cool YZ-derived bodywork and a thick seat look great and feel excellent on long rides.

  • ProTaper aluminum handlebar in forged triple clamp shaves weight and increases comfort.

  • Wide footpegs for great comfort.

  • Slim-design, lightweight fuel tank holds 2.1 gallons.

  • One-piece, high-strength, plastic skid plate shaves weight and offers great protection.

  • Lightweight, 35-watt headlight and sweet LED taillight maximize visibility and draw less current.

  • Adjustable front brake lever.

  • Repackable aluminum muffler shaves weight.

  • Front wheel collar makes front wheel removal quick and easy.
