 Ra CROSS COUNTRY- TUNED YZ250 POWER

Based on the legendary YZ250 249cc liquid-cooled reed-valve-inducted two-stroke engine, the YZ250X utilizes a revised compression ratio, exhaust port timing, revised Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS™) timing and a model-specific CDI unit—all focused on creating a wide, controllable power character ideal for cross country racing.

 

 Ra CROSS COUNTRY- SPECIFIC FEATURES

Cross country focused suspension setup and Dunlop® Geomax AT81 tires, 18-inch rear wheel, wide ratio transmission, narrow expansion chamber, sealed O-ring chain, a standard side stand and fuel tank petcock with reserve position are perfect for XC racing.

YZ250-BASED FRAME  Ra

A carefully engineered aluminum frame and swingarm give the YZ250X the famous handling proven by the championship-winning YZ motocross riders on tracks around the world.

features and benefits

    • provides the benefits of both solid, low rpm power delivery & strong top-end punch
  • Keihin PWK38S carburetor with power jet and throttle position sensor (TPS).
    • precise fuel - air mixing
    • extra-crisp throttle response throughout the powerband
  • Special-design, 4-petal, carbon fiber reeds.
    • excellent throttle response & engine performance across the entire RPM range
  • Smooth-shifting, 5-speed, close-ratio transmission.
    • ratios are matched to engine output for maximum performance
    • optimal hook-up for outstanding acceleration & corner-exiting power

    • for on-the-fly clutch adjustments

Chassis/Suspension 

  • Lightweight, aluminum, semi-double-cradle frame.
    • combines with compact engine to provide an awesome power to weight ratio
    • obvious benefit of an aluminum frame is a significant weight reduction
    • Yamaha maintains the semi-double cradle design because it offers an excellent "rigidity balance" between lateral & torsional rigidity while offering controlled flex in the longitudinal plane
    • result is a light aluminum frame, which provides excellent handling, good ride quality, excellent stability & responsive cornering performance
  • Removable rear subframe.
    • constructed of square-section, lightweight aluminum
    • detachable design allows easy access when servicing rear suspension components
    • reduces costs in the event of a loop out
  • Lightweight, tapered design aluminum swingarm.
    • produced by "hydro forming", a forming method that uses high pressure water to form shapes
    • excellent rear wheel traction & control
    • lightweight design
  • Cast aluminum upper and forged lower triple clamps.
    • strong yet lightweight
    • fast, agile handling
  • Adjustable handlebar mounts.
    • allow handlebar to be moved 10mm rearward if desired
  • "Speed Sensitive System" 48mm, adjustable, inverted, "twin chamber" KYB fork. Front wheel travel is 300 mm (11.8").
    • twin chamber design means the damper unit is in a separate structure which prevents aerated fork oil from entering the inner damper assembly & degrading its damping abilities
    • the inner damper is pressurized, it also eliminates bubbles forming in the oil
    • "Speed Sensitive" design means the damping force is controlled by piston speed, not position in the fork
    • low friction fork seals provide reduced stiction for a smoother stroke
    • spring & damping settings are optimized for cross country use
    • fork adjustments include: 20-way compression damping & 20-way rebound damping
    • optional fork springs are available through Genuine Yamaha parts
  • Fork also features a Transfer Control Valve (TCV).
    • TCV enhances damping from mid to full stroke & improves bottoming characteristics
    • TCV offers more precise control throughout the full suspension stroke
    • TCV is located on the upside of the spring & its function is controlled by piston speed, not piston position, hence the term "Speed Sensitive System fork".
  • Large "wrap-around" plastic fork protectors.
    • provide excellent protection from dirt, mud & stone chips
    • "self-supporting" design reduces friction for smoother stroke
  • Monocross link rear suspension features a fully adjustable, Kayaba, piggyback shock which provides 315 mm (12.4") of wheel travel.
    • features separate adjusters for high- and low-speed compression damping
    • adjustments include: spring preload, 20-way rebound damping, 20-way low-speed compression damping & 2 turns of high speed compression damping
    • spring & damping settings are optimized for cross country use
    • 18 mm damper rod
    • Kashima coating (friction reducer) is used in the shock body & sub tank to reduce friction & improve suspension performance
    • piggyback shock utilizes a full rebound oil lock system for excellent suspension function & great ride quality
    • spring & damping settings are optimized for cross country use
  • 270 mm floating front "wave-style" disc brake with Nissin twin piston caliper.
    • "wave" style rotor (disc) reduces weight, improves cooling (more surface area) & improves styling
