2020 Yamaha XT250 Dual Sport Motorcycle – Features and Price
The Main Function
XT250 has a fuel injection function, which can achieve a smooth throttle response and is easy to start in almost all conditions. The long-distance suspension and ground clearance of more than 11.2 inches is located under the seat that is only 31.9 inches above the ground.
2020 Yamaha XT250 Dual Sport Motorcycle can quickly start with a convenient electric start system and a 249cc four-stroke engine. The combination of new 245mm of front disc brakes and 203mm of rear disc brakes provides excellent braking power on both paved and unpaved tracks.
Engine
The new 249cc, air-cooled, four-stroke engine with a compression ratio of 9.5:1 has an excellent off-road performance. XT250 has a fuel injection function, which can achieve a smooth throttle response and is easy to start in almost all conditions. The light and strong forged piston in the coated cylinder helps dissipate heat more effectively, thereby improving performance and durability. An all-new automatic cam chain tensioner means minimal maintenance and longer engine life.
A lightweight crankshaft helps provide fast response power. The wide-speed ratio five-speed gearbox can give maximum strength and performance in various terrains and conditions. The air intake is straighter, which improves performance. The worry-free push-button electric start adds extra convenience and reliability. The new engine is attached high on the frame, providing an impressive 11.2 inches of ground clearance.
Chassis Suspension
The semi-double-bracket steel frame achieves a lighter feel through the greater mass concentration. The higher lateral and torsional stiffness including the reduced weight of the lower frame components, contribute to lightweight, stable operation. The front fork has about 8.9 inches of travel, which can absorb rough materials on and on the road. The lower aluminum triple clamp can keep the weight light.
An increased rotation angle of the handlebar is kept at 51-degree almost like a test machine. Attached with a short wheelbase of only 53.5-inch, the XT250 has an ultra-compact turning radius and excellent maneuverability. The new rear shock absorber offers a 7.1-inch wheel travel distance through a progressive Monocross linkage system for smooth driving.
The 21-inch front aluminum wheels and the 18-inch rear aluminum wheels are very durable and reduce the unsprung weight, thereby improving suspension performance and handling. The new 11.2 inches of ground clearance means you have excellent off-road capabilities.
Additional Functions
The multi-function digital LCD instrument panel including green backlight, can be easily seen during the day or night. It also helps in reducing the unnecessary weight of the handlebar, thereby achieving light and precise handling. The stylish gasoline fuel tank can hold 2.6 gallons of gasoline and is suitable for long-distance riding. The long and thick seat offers a balanced riding posture for optimal rider movement and comfort. The spark arrester makes XT track ready.
The new durable and wide front fender is designed to keep dirt away from the rider when driving off-road. The frame-mounted passenger foot spikes provide bidirectional riding capability. Enduro-style 60/55-watt halogen headlights have a cool 133mm lens that offers excellent visibility at night. The flexibly mounted turn indicator has excellent fracture resistance. Durable fork boots help in preventing rocks and debris from damaging the fork slider. A reliable, low-maintenance battery is also available.
