<p><strong>Key Features</strong></p>
<p>•  Directly descended from our YZ motocrossers and WR off-road machines—even the original Yamaha YA-1 of 1955—the WR250R is here to make Yamaha’s off-road prowess street accessible.</p>
<p>•  Not exactly an enduro model and not a streetbike either, the WR250R is for riders who ride off-road more than on. Its sibling, the supermoto-inspired WR250X, is for riders who spend more time on pavement.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Engine</strong></p>
<p>•  250cc liquid-cooled, DOHC engine with two titanium intake valves and two steel exhausts, forged piston and plated cylinder for outstanding durability.</p>
<p>•  Pentroof combustion chamber with downdraft-type straight intake helps make excellent power across the rev band, with maximum power at 10,000 rpm.</p>
<p>•  First use of fuel injection on a 250 Yamaha on/off-road bike. The system relies on input from a crank sensor, intake air pressure sensor and throttle position sensor feeding a compact ECU to provide optimum combustion.</p>
<p>•  An ECU-controlled EXUP® exhaust valve, along with an electronic intake control valve, broadens the powerband.</p>
<p>•  High lift cams have WPC surface treatment in which the surface is sprayed with fine powder at over 100 meters per second to increase surface hardness.</p>
<p>•  Three-axis engine layout keeps the engine compact. Wet sump tucks between frame rails to keep the engine height down.</p>
<p>•  Rare earth-type ACM alternator keeps the weight down while providing all the current needed to run the FI and lighting systems.</p>
<p>•  Direct ignition coil sits atop the spark plug—another first on a Yamaha on/off-road model.</p>
<p>•  Six-speed gearbox provides a wide spread of ratios, with shower-type lubrication for reliability. A special light-action clutch makes shifting a snap.</p>
<p>•  Tucked-in, three-chamber muffler helps keep mass centralized and the bike quiet.</p>
<p>•  Electric start only: Leaving off the kickstarter keeps it light and simple.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Chassis/Suspension</strong></p>
<p>•  YZ/WR250-inspired semi-double-cradle frame uses a main frame of cast and forged aluminum sections, with high-strength steel downtubes for excellent strength and rigidity characteristics.</p>
<p>•  Asymmetrical swingarm provides excellent strength/rigidity balance and a dynamic look. Cast aluminum crossmembers, extruded arms and a 22mm rear axle are carefully tuned for optimum handling.</p>
<p>•  Fully adjustable 46mm fork provides 10.6 inches of wheel travel. A forged lower triple clamp and a cast upper one help give outstanding front-end feel. An aluminum steering stem reduces weight.</p>
<p>•  Linkage-mounted rear shock provides 10.6 inches of travel with adjusters for compression damping, rebound damping and spring preload—and features a 14mm rod and 46mm cylinder for excellent damping and fade resistance.</p>
<p>•  Wave brake rotors front and rear, including a large 250mm front disc, reduce unsprung weight and provide excellent performance. Rear pedal is forged aluminum.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Additional Features</strong></p>
<p>•  A slim, steel fuel tank is shaped with knee grip in mind, and the entire ergonomic layout is designed to make the rider feel like part of the bike.</p>
<p>•  Narrow, YZ-inspired seat features gripper-type cover for great seat-of-the-pants feel. Seat height is 36.6 inches.</p>
<p>•  WR enduro-style instrument panel provides excellent visibility in spite of the compact size. Basic mode provides speed, clock, tripmeter and self-diagnostic function. Measurement mode includes stopwatch, distance-compensating tripmeter, etc.</p>
<p>•  Minimalist front and rear fenders are designed for function, simplicity and lightness.</p>
<p>•  Bodywork with separate radiator heat outlet helps keep engine and rider cool.</p>
<p>•  Lightweight headlight and LED taillight maximize visibility and draw less current.</p>
<p>•  Adjustable front brake lever.</p>

<p>•  Electric start makes firing up the 249cc four-stroke effortless.</p>
<p>•  245mm front disc and 203mm rear disc brakes combine to deliver superb stopping power on both paved and unpaved surfaces.<br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Engine</strong><br />
•  249cc air-cooled four-stroke with 9.5:1 compression makes maximum power at 7500 rpm and maximum torque at 6500 rpm for great on- and off-road performance.</p>
<p>•  A light-and-strong forged piston inside a plated cylinder helps dissipate heat more efficiently, increasing both performance and durability.</p>
<p>•  33mm vacuum-type carburetor keeps the airflow up for excellent performance and throttle response.</p>
<p>•  A light crankshaft helps provide quick responsive power.</p>
<p>•  Wide-ratio five-speed transmission for maximum power and performance in a wide range of terrain and conditions.</p>
<p>•  Straighter intake tract for improved performance.</p>

<p>•  Engine is mounted high in the frame to provide an incredible 11.2 inches of ground clearance.</p>
<p>•  Automatic cam chain tensioner means minimal maintenance and longer engine life.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Chassis/Suspension</strong><br />
•  A semi-double-cradle steel frame achieves a lighter, nimbler feel through greater mass centralization. Greater lateral and torsional rigidity and reduced weight of the lower frame parts help produce light, stable handling.</p>
<p>•  The front fork has 8.9 inches of travel to soak up the rough stuff, both on-road and off. An aluminum lower triple clamp keeps the weight down.</p>
<p>•  Maximum turning angle of the handlebar is 51 degrees—almost like a trials machine. Combined with a short wheelbase of only 53.5 inches, the XT250 has a super-tight turning radius for excellent maneuverability.</p>
<p>•  A rear shock provides 7.1 inches of wheel travel through a progressive, Monocross®-style linkage system for a smooth ride.</p>
<p>•  21-inch front and 18-inch rear aluminum wheels are extremely durable and reduce unsprung weight for enhanced suspension performance and handling.</p>
<p>•  245mm front disc and 203mm rear disc brakes combine to deliver superb stopping power on both paved and unpaved surfaces.</p>
<p>•  11.2 inches of ground clearance means you’ve got serious off-road capability, and a heavy-duty aluminum skid plate adds protection.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Additional Features</strong><br />
•  Multifunction digital LCD instrument panel with cool green background lighting is easily visible day or night. It also removes a lot of weight from the handlebar for light, precise handling.</p>
<p>•  The stylish gas tank holds a full 2.6 gallons (2.4 gallons CA) for long-range riding.</p>
<p>•  Long, thick seat creates a balanced riding position for optimal rider movement and comfort.</p>
<p>•  Durable and wide front fender is designed to keep mud and dirt off the rider when exploring off-road.</p>
<p>•  Frame-mounted passenger footpegs provide two-up riding capability.</p>
<p>•  Enduro-style, 60/55-watt halogen headlight features a cool 133mm lens for excellent visibility at night.</p>
<p>•  Flex-mounted turn indicators offer great durability against breakage.</p>
