2019 Yamaha XT250 Base

2019 Yamaha XT250

With electric start and low seat height for added comfort, the XT250 is light, nimble and reliable. Take it wherever you go, then take off - on or off-road.

• Engine

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.

Straighter intake tract for improved performance.

Hassle-free push-button electric starting adds extra convenience and reliability.

• Chassis/Suspension

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.

• Additional

Multifunction digital LCD instrument panel with cool green background lighting is easily visible day or night. It also removes unnecessary 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.
