Yamaha XT description

2014 YAMAHA XT250E, Key Features:



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.




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 pushbutton electric starting adds extra convenience and reliability.
Engine is mounted high in the frame to provide an incredible 11.2 inches of ground clearance.
Automatic cam chain tensioner means minimal maintenance and longer engine life.




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 degreesalmost 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.
A rear shock provides 7.1 inches of wheel travel through a progressive, Monocross-style linkage system for a smooth ride.
21-inch front and 18-inch rear aluminum wheels are extremely durable and reduce unsprung weight for enhanced suspension performance and handling.
245mm front disc and 203mm rear disc brakes combine to deliver superb stopping power on both paved and unpaved surfaces.
11.2 inches of ground clearance means youve got serious off-road capability.




Additional Features:




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.
