                                          all-day sport-riding ergonomics. Class-exclusive fi ve-speed manual

                                          terrain. Torquey, durable air-cooled engine 
                                          puts out plenty of power and starts 
                                          with the push of a button. Low-profi le 19-inch rear tires boast

                                          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

                                        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. 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, YFZ450-style footpegs 
                                          provide excellent grip and rider comfort. Easy-to-use, flip-type handlebar-mounted 
                                          parking brake can be set with one hand. Rigid and light swingarm rear end 
                                          is controlled by a shock with adjustable 
                                          preload and 7.9 inches of wheel travel, 
                                          for consistent wheel control and rider 
                                          comfort. Dunlop® tires deliver outstanding 
                                          traction for razor-sharp 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. |

                                          headlights straight off the potent YFZ450 
                                          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. |    www.Yamaha-Motor.com
