WR250F

Name: WR250FR_NZ
Brand: Yamaha

First launched in 2001 in collaboration with Australians, the WR250F continues to be developed to suit local terrain and riders. Now stepping up the off-road experience to the next level, the quarter litre weapon features the benchmark YZ250F as a base with a combination of cutting-edge off-road features. In doing so YMC engineers have produced the best performing WR250F yet.

Development input by a range of kiwi and Aussie enduro riders over the years is one reason the WR250F continues to outsell its competition. Continual updates based on the hugely successful YZ250F MX weapon is another.

By using the YZ250F as a starting point, our experienced development team - including Kiwi race team manager and Yamaha legend Josh Coppins - came up with an enduro weapon that turns, stops and goes better than ever before. The WR250F is a machine that can be raced straight out of the crate.

Sporting an aluminum bilateral beam frame, more power with a smoother delivery, slicker gear shifts and stronger braking, the WR250F allows you to play fast in all terrain.

Features

High performance engine

The revolutionary front-intake/rear-exhaust, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, four-stroke engine has been developed for enduro competition. Intake and exhaust ports work with a high compression piston for a wide spread of power without losing top-end performance.

Aluminium bilateral beam frame

Tuned specifically for the WR250F, the lightweight aluminium, bilateral beam frame and engine mounts have been designed with flex characteristics to improve bump absorption, traction, and cornering performance.

Industry leading front and rear suspension

Settings on the industry-leading, fully adjustable KYB coil spring-type fork with enhanced speed-sensitive damping have been revised to suit the machine and off-road conditions. And the link-type rear suspension features a KYB shock with revised damping characteristics to match the chassis.

Braking Performance

The high performance braking system provides exceptional stopping power and control through high-spec componentry, including a rigid front caliper with larger diameter pistons, aggressive brake pad compound and a 270mm front rotor. The rear brake gets a lightweight rear caliper and hanger with a 240mm rear rotor to reduce unsprung weight.

Engine map switch

A bar-mounted dual engine map switch has been adopted and positioned next to the left lever to enable changes in the engine power delivery characteristics mid-race. This switch allows the rider to select one of two engine maps on the fly at the press of a button to cater for changes in the riding environment. This means that when the going gets loose, steep or muddy – high traction can be accessed at the press of a button.

Free flow air filter

The filter element features reduced airflow resistance and intake noise combined with increased reliability. The filter and the length of the intake funnel contribute to an excellent feeling of traction and linear characteristics during acceleration and deceleration. Plus, dust filtering capability is increased by adding rubber seals to the centre positioning pin.

Smartphone tuning

Riders can adjust their engine performance straight from their smartphone using the onboard wireless connectivity through the free of charge Yamaha Power Tuner app. Once settings are dialled-in, you can choose between two user-defined ECU maps on the fly via the handlebar mounted dual-mode engine map switch.

Compact instrument display

WR250F includes a multi-function display featuring a speedometer, trip information and convenient low fuel and engine warning indicators.

High Traction Tyres

Special FIM spec Dunlop® EN91 tyres maximise traction while delivering excellent durability.
