2020 Yamaha YZ250X Base

2020 Yamaha YZ250X

Engineered with all the reliability and durability you've come to expect from Yamaha, this 2-stroke was born to win X-country races.

Features may include:

• GNCC-Tuned YZ250 Power

Based on the legendary YZ250 249cc liquid-cooled reed-valve-inducted two-stroke engine, the YZ250X utilizes a revised compression ratio, exhaust port timing, revised Yamaha Power Valve System (YPVS) timing, and a model-specific CDI unit—all focused on creating a wide, controllable power character ideal for cross-country racing.

• Revised Power Valve

The YZ250X features the patented Yamaha Power Valve System—with broader opening timing compared to the YZ250 for smoother power—to combine bottom-end acceleration with strong midrange and eye-opening top-end.

• YZ250-Based Frame

A carefully engineered aluminum frame and swingarm give the YZ250X the famous handling proven by the championship winning YZ250 motocross machine on tracks around the world.

• Lightweight Subframe

Removable aluminum rear subframe is constructed of square-section tubing for reduced weight.

• Cross-Country Ergonomics

A racy "gripper" type seat and narrow fuel tank combine with a tapered aluminum handlebar and adjustable mounts to create greater freedom of movement and more comfortable ergonomics for riders.

• Cross-Country Features

Off-road focused tires with an 18” rear wheel, wide-ratio gearing, a standard side stand, sealed O-ring chain and a reserve fuel petcock.
