• Only true 250cc sport ATV in its class, with 5-speed transmission, disc brakes, low-profile tires and more.
• Class-leading sport ATV performance.
• The 2011 Yamaha Raptor 250 is the very definition of "serious fun" and delivers on that promise with the help of true sport ATV features such as class-exclusive 5-speed manual transmission, long-travel suspension design, disc brakes, low-profile tires and more.
Key Features:
• Aggressive Raptor style and stance gives maximum performance and excellent, all-day sport-riding ergonomics.
• Class-exclusive five-speed manual transmission has a gear for almost any terrain.
• Torquey, durable air-cooled engine puts out plenty of power and starts with the push of a button.
• Low-profile 19-inch rear tires boast outstanding traction and performance.
• Longest suspension travel and lowest seat in its class for true sport handling.
• Lightest weight in its class provides amazingly nimble handling and a great power-to-weight ratio.
Engine:
• Light and powerful 249cc, air-cooled, SOHC, four-stroke single produces a broad, deep powerband.
• Five-speed gearbox with manual clutch provides the flexibility to tackle pretty much any track or trail.
• Mikuni® 29mm carburetor provides light throttle pull and excellent throttle response across the entire rpm range.
• Electric starting is standard equipment and works in any gear.
• DC-CDI ignition system delivers consistent spark at all rpm levels-for quick throttle response and a smooth, broad powerband.
• Ceramic-composite cylinder liner allows for greatly reduced wear and excellent heat dissipation.
• Oil cooler keeps engine temps down and lubrication up in hot conditions.
• Airbox features no-tools air filter access.
• Three-chamber muffler is light, quiet and boosts low- and midrange performance.
Chassis/Suspension:
• Light, strong, short-wheelbase chassis creates a quick, super-responsive high-performance package.
• Low, 28.7-inch 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.
• Triple hydraulic disc brakes deliver excellent stopping power even in wet conditions.
• Extra-wide, 45mm footpegs provide excellent grip and rider comfort.
• Easy-to-use, flip-type handlebar-mounted parking brake can be set with one hand.
• Low profile Dunlop® tires deliver outstanding traction for razorsharp handling in a variety of terrain.
• Easy-adjust eccentric chain adjustment feature means hassle-free chain maintenance.
• Flat, composite skidplates provide maximum underbelly protection.
• Rugged steel grab bars front and rear help fend off debris and damage.
Additional Features:
• Dual 30-watt multi-reflector Krypton headlights add the perfect menacing appearance. Taillight has an incorporated brake light for added convenience.
• Waterproof electrical connectors provide outstanding durability and reliability.
• Easy-access grease fittings on all chassis lubrication points simplify maintenance and help extend the life of the Raptor 250.
• Bodywork comes off without the need to disassemble electrical parts, airbox or wiring harness-for easy maintenance.
• A 2.4-gallon fuel tank means less filling up and longer, more enjoyable rides.
