Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha WR250F 2016

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%.

The big 2017 upgrade has been particularly good for the small four-stroke. Because KTM has been able to further increase the power on the lively machine. Now even those riders for whom it was just a tad too weak can try it again. Of course, it has become even more manageable and all the new strengths of the 2017 models also apply to it. But with its 40 hp, it has broadened its target group more than the other 17 models.

Easy to ride - in every respect

traction and power delivery unbeatable

beginners hold the line easier with it than with the 2-strokes

in terms of weight, there is only a slight difference in handling compared to 2-strokes.

Actually a great bike for beginners, but equipped like the "big ones" it is also almost as expensive as a "big" Enduro

Lifting the front wheel over obstacles requires better riding technique than with a 350 or 450.
