Yamaha Raptor 250 Features
Engine and Transmission – Light and powerful 249cc, air-cooled, SOHC, four-stroke single produces a broad and deep powerband. Mikunir 29mm carburetor provides light throttle pull and excellent throttle response across the entire RPM range. DC-CDI ignition system delivers consistent spark at all rpm levels for a smooth and quick throttle response. Ceramic-composite cylinder liner allows for greatly reduced wear and excellent heat dissipation and oil cooler keeps engine temps down and lubrication up in hot conditions. Five-speed gearbox with manual clutch provides the flexibility to tackle pretty much any track. Three-chamber muffler is light, quiet and boosts low and midrange performance.
Chassis and Suspension – Light and strong, short-wheelbase chassis creates a quick, super-responsive high-performance package. Low seat height enhances rider comfort and allows optimal rider movement. Independent double-wishbone front suspension with five-way preload-adjustable shocks gives 7.5 inches of wheel travel. Rigid and light swingarm rear end is controlled by a shock with adjustable preload and 7.9 inches of wheel travel for rider comfort. Lightweight aluminum wheels reduce unsprung weight for excellent suspension performance, acceleration, deceleration and handling, and the Dunlop tires deliver outstanding traction for razor sharp handling in a variety of terrain. Triple hydraulic disc brakes deliver excellent stopping power on 2013 Yamaha Raptor 250 even in wet conditions.
