features and benefits
Features & Benefits
ENGINE
The 249 cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected, SOHC, 2-valve, 4-stroke single produces easy to use power for daily commuting or exploring the back country.
Electric starting. Fast, easy, no-hassle starting
Single overhead camshaft (SOHC), 2-valve cylinder head. straight intake and exhaust tracts for excellent combustion chamber filling and discharge basic design for easy, less expensive maintenance utilizes easy to adjust conventional rocker arms & screw-type tappet adjusters
Automatic cam chain tensioner. reduces mechanical engine noise and maintenance
Direct ceramic composite-plated cylinder uses "liner-less" bores. ceramic coating sprayed directly on the aluminum block, eliminating the liner and reducing weight excellent heat dissipation for consistent power delivery coating enhances the thin film of oil between the cylinder and piston, reducing friction and increasing power
Lightweight, short-skirt, forged aluminum piston. lightweight design means faster throttle response reduced mechanical vibration for excellent durability
Lightweight, ball-bearing-mounted crankshaft. excellent durability fast engine response
Engine counter balancer. reduces engine vibration to maximize rider comfort
Multi-plate wet clutch is utilized. Clutch lever pull is light and easy.
Easy-access element-type oil filter and drain plug for fast oil changes.
33 mm Mikuni throttle body fuel injection system. system uses throttle position sensor (TPS) 10-hole injector for optimum fuel atomization fuel injection benefits include choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent fuel economy and reduced emissions
2.8-litre air box located under the seat & utilizes an easy to access viscous (paper type) air filter
Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI). produces a strong spark for fast starts provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpm
Wide-ratio 5-speed transmission with multi-plate wet clutch. optimized gear ratios for both on- & off-road riding 5th gear is an overdrive gear to reduce engine rpm at highway speeds clutch lever pull is light & easy
Up-swept exhaust system exhaust note is quiet and environmentally friendly cleanable spark arrestor heat shields on header pipe & muffler protect rider & passenger from accidental contact
Air Induction System (AIS) injects fresh oxygen into the exhaust port to insure complete combustion reduces harmful exhaust emissions
CHASSIS / SUSPENSION
Semi-double-cradle steel frame. overall "wet" weight of 132 kg (291 lb) makes the XT250 one of the lightest, most compact dual purpose machines on the market
Rugged, box-section steel swingarm fitted with easy-to-use eccentric chain adjusters
35 mm KYB fork with 225 mm (8.9") of wheel travel. soaks up the rough stuff, both on-road and off road rubber fork boots (gaiters) protect fork seals and tubes from dirt and grit damage
Lightweight aluminum lower triple clamp reduces weight.
Adjustable link Monocross rear suspension with 180 mm (7.1") of wheel travel. 20 mm (0.8") of threaded spring preload adjustability allows rider to adjust spring preload to match load or riding conditions
Low 810 mm (31.9") seat height creates a low centre of gravity for added manoeuvrability inspires confidence by allowing most riders to put both feet on the ground
285 mm (11.2") of ground clearance enhances off-road use.
245 mm front disc brake with twin-piston Nissin caliper provides plenty of stopping power.
203 mm rear disc brake is squeezed by a single-piston Nissin caliper rugged plastic rear caliper protector
9.6-litre steel fuel tank in-tank electric fuel pump "reserve" portion of the tank is 1.8 litres (low fuel light illuminates)
21" front & 18" rear DID alloy rims. excellent durability reduces unsprung weight for enhanced suspension performance
Long, YZ-inspired seat. creates a balanced riding position with good rider mobility provides roomy comfort for both rider and passenger
60/55-watt, enduro-style, halogen headlight small fairing helps reduce wind buffeting at highway speeds
Compact digital instrumentation. functions includes: speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, fuel reserve trip meter (counts kilometers since low fuel light illuminated) and clock other features include low fuel warning light, engine warning light and self-diagnosis function
DETAILS Serrated, folding steel footpegs Folding gear shift and rear brake lever tips Helmet lock Locking steering and fuel cap Passenger foot pegs and grab rails Durable "O" ring chain Oil level sight glass Flexible turn signals Rubber "boots" on brake and clutch levers help reduce mud and dirt damage/wear Low-maintenance, sealed battery (battery should be charged during winter storage)
