2015 Yamaha XT250

Light and nimble with a low seat height and Yamaha durability, the XT250 is the perfect traveling companion.

• Long-travel suspension and more than 11.2 inches of ground clearance live under a seat only 31.9 inches from the ground.

• The XT250 has fuel injection for smooth throttle response and easy starting in nearly all conditions.

• Electric start makes firing up the 249cc four-stroke effortless.

• 245mm front disc and 203mm rear disc brakes combine to deliver superb stopping power on both paved and unpaved surfaces.

• 249cc air-cooled four-stroke with 9.5:1 compression makes for great on-and off-road performance.

• The XT250 has fuel injection for smooth throttle response and easy starting in nearly all conditions.

• A light-and-strong forged piston inside a plated cylinder helps dissipate heat more efficiently, increasing both performance and durability.

• A light crankshaft helps provide quick responsive power.

• Wide-ratio five-speed transmission for maximum power and performance in a wide range of terrain and conditions.

• A semi-double-cradle steel frame achieves a lighter, nimbler feel through greater mass centralization. Greater lateral and torsional rigidity and reduced weight of the lower frame parts help produce light, stable handling.

• The front fork has 8.9 inches of travel to soak up the rough stuff, both on road and off. An aluminum lower triple clamp keeps the weight down.

• Maximum turning angle of the handlebar is 51 degrees—almost like a trials machine. Combined with a short wheelbase of only 53.5 inches, the XT250 has a super-tight turning radius for excellent maneuverability.

• Multifunction digital LCD instrument panel with cool green background lighting is easily visible day or night. It also removes a lot of weight from the handlebar for light, precise handling.

• The stylish gas tank holds a full 2.6 gallons for long-range riding.

• Long, thick seat creates a balanced riding position for optimal rider movement and comfort.

• Durable and wide front fender is designed to keep mud and dirt off the rider when exploring off-road.
