2016 Yamaha WR250R

Inspired by our legendary WR off road series, the WR250R is a machine that offers incredible performance on road and off. Discover for yourself just how 250cc of fuel injected power can push the limits of performance. The WR250R is ready to tame the twistest road or the toughest trail … with power, handling and style.

ENGINE

• Potent, liquid-cooled, 250cc, DOHC, 4-valve, 4-stroke powerplant with super light titanium intake valves and electronic fuel injection.

• Super convenient electric starting means fast, sure starts.

• Hassle free automatic decompression system ensures fast starting and reduces battery power requirements.

• Lightweight magnesium cylinder head cover helps reduce weight.

• Double overhead cam, 4-valve combustion chamber features a compact "pent-roof" design for maximum breathing efficiency.

• Downdraft -type straight design intake port provides the most efficient intake flow for maximum engine performance.

• Lightweight titanium intake valves and load-reduced valve springs decrease weight by more than 40% (Vs steel valves). Titanium valves reduce reciprocating mass for faster-revving, plus reduced frictional losses for smoother-hitting power delivery across the rev range. Intake valves are 30mm in diameter, while the steel exhaust valves are 24.5mm in diameter.

• Lightweight, compact aluminum semi-double-cradle frame. The main frame is cast aluminum, while forged aluminum is used under the main frame below the steering head area and separate detachable down tubes are thin walled high tensile steel. Yamaha has maintained the semi double cradle design to allow for "controlled flex" to optimize suspension action. This frame design provides a low centre of gravity for a light feel and razor sharp handling.

• Detachable high tensile steel rear sub frame is constructed of round steel pipe. The detachable design provides easy rear suspension access and reduces costs in the event of loop out.

• Lightweight, tapered, aluminum swingarm features a mix of extruded, cast and forged parts. This unique rear arm provides the best rigidity-strength balance plus a dynamic look too.

• Premium dual sport tires offer good traction in the dirt and on the road.

• Slim design 7.6 liter steel fuel tank with built-in electic fuel pump.

• Low fuel warning light. The low fuel light will activate with 2.1 liters of fuel remaining.

• Serrated steel footpegs

• Serrated, aluminum rear brake lever.

• Steel shifter with folding shift lever tip

• Rugged, plastic rear caliper protector

• Steel handlebars with reinforcing cross bar

• Adjustable front brake lever

• Compact, low-maintenance 6 amp hour battery is gel-filled type to prevent leaks in the event of a tip-over

• Lightweight chain guide / support helps reduce chance of chain derailment. Also helps protect rear sprocket too.

• Heavy duty "O" ring chain for durability

• Passenger footpegs

• Helmet lock

• Locking fuel cap and steering

• Convenient oil level sight glass
