I need to find some forks and or triple clamps that are compatible with my 2016 yz250. is there such a thing bc trying to fin parts specifically for this bike is next to impossible.  unless I decide rot buy brand new and they are pricey.  like what years are constable with the steering stem and what years are compatible with the forks an=d what years am I able to use triple clamps from.  I don't mind changing the whole thing but the problem is I can't even find a steering stem that isn't a bazillion dollars.  someone please help me out.

Here are some for less than $100. Says they will fit a '16 two stroke. Thumpertalk would be a better place to ask what years fit, they know more technical stuff and there are guys there that geek out on yz250 stuff and know all the minute changes between years

You have one of the easiest bikes to find compatible forks for.

YZ250 two strokes are not difficult to find parts for. What is the problem? Are you specifically searching for 2016 parts??

FYI, those clamps will not work with any Yamaha two stroke OE forks.

Often ebay sellers assume they're all the same, but the 2015 four strokes have a smaller diameter upper clamp and a shorter steering stem.

The YZ250 clamps and steering stems are compatible from 2008 on up for sure.
The 2006 clamps will fit, but they used 7/8 bars.

I left out the 2007 model stem and clamps because I do not know for sure, but I believe they also came with pro-taper 1-1/8" handlebar.   You can search google for a picture of the 2007 model to see if it has a crossbar 7/8 handlebar or the Pro Taper bar.

The forks from YZ450F 2008 - 2009 models. will fit any YZ125 or YZ250 from 2008 to current models.
The forks from YZ250F 2008 - 2011 models will fit any YZ125 or YZ250 from 2008 to current models.

There are plenty of those parts available.

And no I’m not after cheap parts. I just wanted to make sure I could find the right parts. Bc after doing more digging I found the answers I needed. I just needed someone else to say they pretty much from 2009-2024 clamps would work. That was all. Bc if I’m gonna spend 5-800$ on something it better fit. Lol

CW - I have a 2007 YZ 250 and can confirm it came with the 1-1/8" ProTaper Contour bars... which was annoying because my 06 YZ125 came with 7/8" Renthal bars and I couldn't interchange between them when I wanted to do a quick swap instead of buying more parts.

According to my dealer, Stark forks are the same as yamaha, but way cheaper.
