2021 YAMAHA YZ250F
T
he YZ250F gets all of the attention
for 2021 when it comes to Yamaha's
motocrosser. The new YZ250F takes
on many changes to its chassis, motor and
brakes, while the YZ450F, which saw a
major overhaul last year, returns as it did
before. Both bikes, however, are now also
available in optional special Monster Energy
Yamaha race team graphics.
The new 2021 Yamaha YZ250F features
an all-new cylinder head with a revised
intake port shape and a new camshaft
profile, as well a new airbox and intake
tract, a new silencer and an updated ECU.
These mods, along with other refinements
like an updated transmission and shift cam,
a revised clutch design and updated water
pump impeller, are all said to help pro-
duce stronger mid- to top-end power and
increased peak power, while retaining its
already well-liked low-end torque.
