From titanium intake valves to its aluminium frame and swingarm, this WR is a highly concentrated dual sport weapon. Whether commuting through city traffic or blazing down your favourite trail, this WR’s is ready to provide uncompromised performance.

Key Features

•  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.

•  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.

Engine

•  250cc liquid-cooled, DOHC engine with two titanium intake valves and two steel exhausts, forged piston and plated cylinder for outstanding durability.

•  Pentroof combustion chamber with downdraft-type straight intake helps make excellent power across the rev band, with maximum power at 10,000 rpm.

•  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.

•  An ECU-controlled EXUP® exhaust valve, along with an electronic intake control valve, broadens the powerband.

•  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.

•  Three-axis engine layout keeps the engine compact. Wet sump tucks between frame rails to keep the engine height down.

•  Rare earth-type ACM alternator keeps the weight down while providing all the current needed to run the FI and lighting systems.

•  Direct ignition coil sits atop the spark plug—another first on a Yamaha on/off-road model.

•  Six-speed gearbox provides a wide spread of ratios, with shower-type lubrication for reliability. A special light-action clutch makes shifting a snap.

•  Tucked-in, three-chamber muffler helps keep mass centralized and the bike quiet.

•  Electric start only: Leaving off the kickstarter keeps it light and simple.

Chassis/Suspension

•  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.

•  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.

•  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.

•  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.

•  Wave brake rotors front and rear, including a large 250mm front disc, reduce unsprung weight and provide excellent performance. Rear pedal is forged aluminum.

Additional Features

•  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.

The 2010 Yamaha V-Star 1300 has a “casual touring” stablemate. The “V-Star 1300 Tourer” version of the 2010 V-Star 1300 has all the same great features plus a windshield, locking saddlebags and passenger backrest. These value added items are sure to have the smiles rolling by in style and comfort. For 2010, the engineers have revised the seat, handlebars and riding position for improved rider comfort. They also improved some styling highlihts too.

Now even more to love.

With new features for 2010, the 2010 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer offers a more relaxed riding position thanks to a new handlebar configuration and the newly contoured, lower seat. Enhanced style comes from a new chrome plated headlight and belt covers. Leather covered hard saddlebags, adjustable windshield and passenger backrest, fuel injected 80 cubic inch V-Twin and reliable best drive all come standard.

The V-Star 1300 Tourer has the same class leading power and handling of the regular V-Star 1300 plus 3 of the most sought after “casual touring” extras.

A windshield, locking saddlebags and passenger backrest make the Tourer a perfect weekend escape machine. From the spacious rider floorboards to the roomy saddlebags, all of the components blend together to offer unmatched function, comfort and style.

Key Features
•  The V Star 1300 Tourer comes standard with hard leather-wrapped sidebags, passenger backrest and windshield. The touring package is designed from the factory so it’s styled consistently with the bike’s fluid lines.

•  The midsize V Star 1300 Tourer brings modern classic styling along for a lighter, sportier, hot-rodinspired ride.

•  80-cubic-inch (1304cc) liquid-cooled, fuel-injected V-twin produces excellent power across the board along with a highly stimulating exhaust note

•  Modern-classic design, including a flangeless gas tank and two-into-one exhaust, gives the V Star 1300 that distinctive Star look.

•  Steel chassis gets 48 percent of the bike’s weight on the front tire, for quick, light handling and maneuverability.

•  Authentic cruiser features such as belt drive, steel fenders and fuel tank, open up the customization possibilities even further.

New for 2010
•  The handlebar bend is changed, bringing the bars closer to the rider for a more relaxed riding position.

•  The shape of the seat has been redesigned with a “dish” shape for improved comfort, and it allows riders to touch the ground easily.

•  A new 3-D tank emblem design adorns the V Star 1300 Tourer and evokes a modern-classic look.

•  The V Star 1300 Tourer gets even more chrome: a new chrome headlight housing and chrome belt guard. Plus, there’s a new gloss black finish on the frame that adds a high-quality look.

Engine
•  The 1304cc (80 cubic inches), 60-degree, SOHC, V-twin engine delivers smooth power to the ground, while maintaining the classic big cruiser sound and pulse characteristics.

•  Fuel injected—each cylinder is fed by its own injector spraying into twin 36mm intake valves, while the twin bore design allows the computer-controlled system to feed a precise amount of fuel/air mixture to the engine. The result is strong, smooth and seamless performance across the full range of engine rpm.

•  Four valves per cylinder (36mm intake, 32mm exhaust) provide optimum combustion efficiency; roller rocker arms reduce friction for better performance and reduced wear.

•  Ceramic composite cylinder sleeves contain 100mm forged pistons for excellent durability and longevity.

•  9.5:1 compression ratio and aggressive cam timing produce plenty of power across the board and a distinctive exhaust note.

•  Forged connecting rods ride a single crankpin for true V-twin sound and power.

•  Sly cooling system routes liquid through hidden hoses and internal engine passages for air-cooled looks and liquid-cooled performance. Oil filter is easy to get to but also tucked nearly out of sight for clean, pure looks.

•  The belt drive transfers power from the transmission to the wheel with authority. The belt system is virtually maintenance free and delivers a quicker, more impressive throttle response feeling than ashaft drive.

•  The classic cylinder fin styling of an air-cooled engine with the consistent potency of a liquid-cooled power plant. With the radiator set back between the down tubes discretely routed plumbing, the V Star 1300 Tourer’s classic beauty shines through.

•  Hydraulic cam chain tensioner reduces noise and maintenance.

Chassis/Suspension
•  Built on a double cradle steel frame, giving the bike a rigid base for nimble handling, while allowing enough frame flex to be comfortable on the open road.

•  The swingarm looks sweet and gives the bike its great handling character. Mated with belt guards, the swingarm’s sleek design is intergrated into the overall styling of the whole bike. This allows excellent road bump absorption for all-day comfort on the great wide open.

•  41mm fork tubes with stainless covers look great and serve up a smooth, controlled ride.

•  A thick, chromed handlebar rides in painted clamps for a custom look.

•  The fuel tank is sculpted low and sleek for style and comfort, with a flush-fitting, aeronautical-style gas cap incorporated into the tank’s sleek, flangeless-type design. The tank holds a generous 4.9 gallons of fuel, thanks to a remotely located sub tank that also houses the fuel pump, for plenty of traveling range on the open road.

•  Seven-spoke cast wheels and matching rear pulley mount fat, 16-inch tires for a cool period look albeit with big contact patches on the road.

•  Dual 298mm front and single rear disc brakes. Provides consistent and predictable stopping power for driving in traffic or out on the open highway.

Additional Features
•  Star quality paint, chrome and detailing vie for attention wherever you look; fenders are steel not plastic.

•  Retro-modern bar-mounted instrumentation contains analog speedometer along with LCD display; indicator lights for high beam, turn signal, low oil level, low fuel, coolant temperature, neutral—and engine diagnostic function.

•  Floating floorboards and an adjustable heel/toe shifter provide a comfortable, low-effort ride and makes moving through the 5-speed gearbox a snap.

•  Bright multi-reflector headlight and amber turn signals behind clear lenses give a custom look.

•  Oxygen sensor and catalyst reduce emissions.
