ENGINE

The 249cc liquid-cooled reed-valve-inducted two-stroke engine is lightweight, compact and fun, with an incredibly wide, hard-hitting powerband.

Patented Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) combines crisp, hard-hitting bottom-end acceleration with strong mid-range and top-end.

Advanced 38mm Hitachi Astemo Keihin PWK38S carburetor with power jet and throttle position sensor provides precise fuel/air mixing and extra-crisp throttle response.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

The high performance braking system features a 270mm front rotor, 240mm rear rotor, large front pistons and rigid calipers, all combining to provide exceptional braking power and feel.

The fully adjustable KYB 48mm forks feature the Speed Sensitive System which uses piston speed to control the damping force for super-precise handling, superb bump absorption and 11.8 inches of suspension travel. New for 2025, the fork now includes a hand-adjustable knob for quick, toolless compression adjustments.

Fully adjustable KYB shock features reduced-friction Kashima Coat internals, 12.4 inches of travel, separate adjusters for high- and low-speed compression damping, and a full lock oil rebound system for increased comfort. It all adds up to fantastic rear wheel control and a sweet ride.
