2019 Yamaha YZ250

Pure performance and full-throttle adrenaline, the YZ250 is 2-strokes of lightweight power combined with the legendary Yamaha reliability and durability.

• Engine

249cc liquid-cooled reed-valve-inducted two-stroke engine is lightweight, compact and features an incredibly wide, hard-hitting powerband.

Patented YPVS™ combines crisp, hard-hitting bottom-end acceleration with strong midrange and eye-opening top-end.

38mm Keihin® PWK carburetor with power jet and throttle position sensor (TPS) provides precise fuel/air mixing and extra-crisp throttle response throughout the powerband.

Special-design carbon fiber reed-valve petals improve throttle response and engine performance across the entire rpm range.

Smooth-shifting, five-speed, close-ratio transmission with heavy-duty, multiplate clutch.

• Chassis/Suspension

Large 270mm front disc brake coupled with high-performance pad material offers outstanding machine control and performance, with exceptional stopping power and controllability.

The KYB® 48mm forks feature the Speed-Sensitive System that uses piston speed to control damping force for super-precise handling and a smooth ride.

A carefully engineered, advanced aluminum frame and swingarm give the YZ250 the best handling in the 250 class.

Removable aluminum rear subframe is constructed of square-section tubing for reduced weight.

Fully adjustable KYB® shock features reduced-friction Kashima Coat™ internals, 12.4 inches of travel, separate adjusters for high- and low-speed compression damping, and a full lock oil rebound system for increased comfort. All adding up to fantastic rear wheel control and a sweet ride.

• Additional

The YZ250 is ready to race out of the crate, complete with an aluminum handlebar, 2-position adjustable handlebar clamp, wide foot pegs, gripper seat and adjustable clutch lever with works-style cable adjuster.
