Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha WR450F 2012

The new WR 450F is a genuine racing enduro that is technically and innovatively at the forefront. A Kayaba chassis that is unparalleled in series production, top brakes. A slightly larger tag would be fine and a little more "carburettor feeling" in the rev range. But the best thing is the possibilities offered by the uncomplicated Powertuner.

Larger brake disc

air filter behind cylinder head

central weight distribution

agile handling

Power tuner accessories

somewhat top-heavy

Yamaha WR250F 2016

The Yamaha now has 69 hours on the clock. The chassis shone, as it did in the first test, and so did the engine with the Akrapo muffler. It is very economical and a lot of fun to ride, because it doesn't overtax and the Kayaba chassis gives a lot of security. What has been done so far: Regular oil change and air filter replaced. The fork oil seals have been leaking for a short time, but after careful cleaning with a valve gauge they are now tight again. Drive set after approx. 70%, rear brake pads replaced, front still approx. 30%.
