The Yamaha YZ250F is a motocross motorcycle first released in 2001 by Yamaha. It has a five-valve, DOHC, four-stroke engine and initially had a steel frame and an aluminum subframe, which was replaced in the 2006 model with an all-aluminum frame.
This combination leads to the YZ250F being praised for combining the broad-power characteristics of a four-stroke engine with the light handling more common in smaller, 125 cc two-stroke motorcycles.[3]
Year changes: 2006- aluminum frame introduced
2010- new engine layout, lower center of gravity
2014- The YZ250F was the last of the carburetor holdouts, so it comes as no surprise that the 2014 YZ250F gets FI for the first time.
