2017 Yamaha WR250R

2017 Yamaha WR250R

Inspired by our legendary WR off road series, the WR250R is a machine that offers excellent 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.

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

Don't let 250 cubic centimeters fool you, this machine performs well above its displacement. Adjustable suspension, a wide ratio 6-speed transmission and disc brakes front and rear provide serious dual sport performance.

Features may include:

• Potent, liquid-cooled, 250cc, DOHC, 4-valve power plant with super light titanium intake valves & electronic fuel injection. This engine out performs its 250cc displacement and offers best in class performance.

• Electric starting & automatic decompression system.

• easy no hassle starting

• decompression system reduces battery power requirements... reducing weight

• Lightweight magnesium cylinder head cover reduces weight.

• Double overhead cam, 4-valve, compact combustion chamber.

• features a compact "pent-roof" combustion chamber design for optimum combustion

• maximum breathing efficiency for excellent power output

• Lightweight titanium intake valves & load-reduced oval valve springs.

• titanium valves reduces reciprocating weight & allows for a higher rpm limit (40% lighter than steel valves)

• reduced friction (load reduced) valve springs

• faster-revving & smoother power delivery

• "Ti" intake valves are 30mm in diameter, steel exhaust valves are 24.5mm

• Valve adjustment intervals are every 42,000 kms.

• High performance intake & exhaust camshafts

• provide outstanding class leading power

• cams feature a WPC (Wonder Process Craft) treatment that increases surface hardness for excellent durability & reduced sliding resistance

• Downdraft-type straight design intake port.

• most efficient intake flow for maximum engine performance

• Automatic, hydraulic cam chain tensioner.

• reduces maintenance & mechanical engine noise

• special cam chain "sliders" reduce internal frictional losses

• Lightweight, compact aluminum semi-double-cradle frame.

• main frame is cast aluminum, forged aluminum is used below the steering head area

• separate detachable down tubes are high tensile steel

• Yamaha has maintained the semi double cradle design to allow for "controlled flex" to optimize suspension performance

• Detachable steel rear sub frame.

• constructed of round steel pipe

• detachable design provides easy rear suspension access & reduces costs in the event of loop out

• Lightweight, tapered, aluminum swingarm.

• features a mix of extruded, cast & forged parts for an optimized rigidity-strength balance

• lightweight design reduces unsprung weight for optimum suspension performance

• excellent rear wheel control & traction

• 46mm, adjustable inverted, Kayaba cartridge fork with 270mm (10.6") wheel travel.

• adjustments include: 19-way compression damping and 17-way rebound damping

• suspension performance can be tailored to suit riding conditions & riding preferences
