2025 Yamaha YZ250FX for Sale

Chassis / Suspension

• ALL-NEW ALUMINUM BILATERAL BEAM FRAME: A completely redesigned aluminum bilateral beam frame based on the class-dominating YZ250F motocross model provides just the right amount of strength and flex for the perfect balance of stability and cornering performance. The result is a better handling machine with lighter feel, more agility and increased traction, allowing the rider to charge corners with greater confidence.
• CLASS-LEADING SUSPENSION: Fully adjustable KYB® coil spring-type fork with speed-sensitive damping delivers exceptional balance between handling and bump absorption for championship-winning performance. For 2025, the fork now includes a hand-adjustable knob for easy compression adjustments, and revised suspension settings improve bump reaction to deliver an exceptional balance between cornering performance and high-speed stability. Linkage-type rear suspension features a KYB® shock with revised settings to provide less pitch on corner entry/exit for improved stability.
• HIGH-SPEC BRAKING COMPONENTS: The high performance braking system provides exceptional stopping power and control through high-spec componentry, including a rigid Nissin front caliper with larger diameter pistons, aggressive brake pad compound and a 270mm front rotor. The rear brake gets a lightweight Nissin rear caliper and hanger with a 240mm rear rotor to reduce unsprung weight.
• COMPACT BODY & SEAT DESIGN: Adopting the aggressive body design of the YZ250F, the 2025 YZ250FX features a slimmer, flatter body design for improved control, including a slimmer fuel tank, a 15mm lower airbox and 50mm narrower radiator shrouds for easier rider movement and cornering performance. The rider triangle is also improved with increased legroom between the seat and foot pegs for greater rider comfort.
• ENHANCED MASS-CENTRALIZATION: The compact engine, wraparound exhaust and fuel tank are strategically positioned to enhance mass centralization for a lightweight handling feeling on the track. The wide 55mm foot pegs provide added control and comfort.
• STRONG, LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELS: Careful computer-aided refinement of each wheel’s cross-sectional profile shaves valuable weight without sacrificing durability. Further reducing weight, a lighter rear wheel hub is adopted while the axle diameter has been increased from 22mm to 25mm. The spokes have also been changed from a 2-cross arrangement to a 3-cross one, improving impact absorption and overall feel.
• PURPOSE-BUILT TIRES: Premium Dunlop® Geomax MX33 tires maximize traction while delivering excellent durability.

Engine

• ADVANCED 250CC FOUR-STROKE ENGINE: The YZ250FX's liquid-cooled, DOHC 4-valve, fuel-injected powerplant features a forward-positioned straight downdraft intake with symmetrical intake ports, high-spec piston and aggressive cam profiles. Developed for victories in the highly competitive GNCC® and Hare Scrambles race series, the advanced four-stroke engine is known for its broad, useable powerband and strong low-end and mid-range torque. For 2025, a more efficient intake path and revised ECU settings results in even more mid- to high-end power.
• PISTON, ROD & CRANKSHAFT BALANCE: The high-spec forged piston features a bridge-box design for maximized strength with minimal weight. The piston, rings and DLC-coated piston pin, along with the offset cylinder configuration, all reduce friction loss. Intake ports, cam profiles, high-strength connecting rod, optimized crank and counter-balancer all work together to produce potent high-rpm power with user-friendly delivery and exceptional reliability. For 2025, a redesigned cam chain improves durability.
• ADVANCED FUEL INJECTION: The adjustable fuel injection system uses a 44mm Mikuni® throttle body, fed by a high-pressure electric fuel pump, to inject fuel through a 12-hole Denso® injector. This ensures optimum fuel atomization and air/fuel calibration for excellent rideability in a wide range of conditions.
• INNOVATIVE YAMAHA POWER TUNER APP: The free-of-charge Yamaha Power Tuner App brings the power of the GYTR® Power Tuner to youriOS® or Android® device. Using wireless connectivity to talk to the bike's onboard electronics system, the app allows owners to adjust air/fuel mixture and ignition timing to tune engine character for track conditions, log track set-up information, and monitor a range of data such as maintenance and system diagnosis, engine run time and more. For the 2025 YZ250FX, the app has been revised to be more user-friendly. Features include an intuitive "Simple Tuning" slide bar for engine mapping, four-level Traction Control and updated Launch Control tuning, a lap timer, along with helpful engine and suspension tuning guides.
• ADJUSTABLE ENGINE & FUEL MAPPING: A handlebar-mounted switch allows on-the-fly selection between two preloaded engine maps with the push of a button, making it easy to make immediate adjustments to changing track or weather conditions. Maps are loaded and configured within the Power Tuner App. Pre-loaded maps include one for fast, aggressive high-traction conditions and one with a smoother engine character for extreme, low-traction conditions.
• SIX-SPEED GEARBOX: A six-speed transmission is used to ensure the right gear is available for the wide variety of terrain found in cross country racing. Updated gearing ratios and a heavy-duty, large-diameter 15-plate clutch bring enhanced durability in the extreme conditions of a three-hour GNCC® race.
• NEW AIR INTAKE: Optimized intake path draws air from under the side covers and seat more efficiently, resulting in a boost in mid- to high-rpm performance and improved over-rev characteristics. The redesign also allows radiator shrouds to be slimmer and the airbox cover to be lower and more narrow.
• WRAPAROUND REAR-POSITIONED EXHAUST LAYOUT: An innovative exhaust pipe design improves mass centralization and power characteristics. This layout moves the rear end of the exhaust pipe farther forward and positions the muffler closer to the bike’s center of mass.
• MASS-CENTRALIZED ELECTRIC STARTER SYSTEM: The YZ250FX features a compact, centrally-mounted electric starter system to minimize restart delays mid-race and add convenience everywhere else. Powered by a high-capacity lightweight four-cell lithium-ion battery, the system adds minimal weight.
