Yamaha WR250F revamped for 2025 with chassis changes, power tweaks and improved suspension

Yamaha have thrown a host of updates at their WR250F enduro bike for 2025, with tweaks made the motor, suspension and frame. 

Available now and costing £8700, the YZ250F derived off-roader gets a redesigned chassis with a 15mm lower tank rail design and improved ‘flex-characteristics’. 

The bike’s KYB suspension has undergone changes throughout, with fork stroke reduced by 10mm, matching by a 10mm drop on the rear. Yamaha say this, alongside new spring rates and revised damping properties, improves the WR’s cornering credentials and bump absorption properties.

Power tweaks include a reworked cylinder head and low-friction cam chain, as well as changes to the air intake, with ducts now positioned in new side panels, frame, and tank. 

There’s also fresh graphics, a new exhaust, and rounding out the changes, a slimmer fuel tank and seat for improved rider mobility.
