Basically, the YZ450F gets clutch updates and new front engine mounts.
450 and 250 get new fork settings, new linakges, and a few other small bits.
Yamaha releases an all-new YZ250FX and WR250F as a part of their 2025 lineup.
FX looks sick
Did the 250FX get any motor changes? I didn't see it listed, saw the airbox changes.
How did they NOT put the shorty front fender on the 2 strokes?... disappointed.
Hopefully they have improved relability...

I see they’ve relocated the foot pegs. Interesting, considering they changed peg location significantly from the last gen bike. Anybody know what direction they went?
Hopefully they fixed the map/ on/ off switch. That’s my only gripe I had with my 23. If u get them wet the bike doesn’t want to start
Are WR models still plugged up or are they now just FX's with lights?

No 350FX yet... Sad. Very, very sad. Guess the product managers don't really want to move a lot of product. )
I've heard the AMPro team has begged Yamaha for one and they won't build it.
Here is your opportunity Triumph. It's screaming at you to take advantage of it. Build a 350 for moto and woods (6 speed for woods).
It's yours for the taking......
Wait, you're telling me a YZ250F is now $1K more than a YZ250. Why even bother with the 250F anymore...lol
Those of us who had one are going to sit back and watch
I'd be all over it
Love that they lowered the FX 10mm.
They didn’t mention anywhere that they fixed their slow and unreliable electric start though. One of the reasons I haven’t had a Yamaha in a while.
Somebody besides KTM needs to build a 350cc woods bike. I know Sherco has a 300sef but its more tuned for enduro style riding, plus they tried their hand at GNCC and didn't even finish a season with the Baylor boys.
This bike is so freaking good. I'm putting it up with my favorite all time bikes. They say that there is too much motor....you get used to it and adjust pretty quickly and then it's just an awesome motor.

Maybe you should take a look at the XC1 GNCC results from this year...
Agreed, I much prefer my '24 over my previous gen bike.
They are currently contesting the series with Josh Strang?
Okay well, he's raced every race so far and does have one top 5.
"...plus they tried their hand at GNCC and didn't even finish a season with the Baylor boys. "
The 10mm lower just gets it back to where the 2024 250fx was.
I know! The front plate and fender bolt right up too. why not just sell it that way..
It's a Yamaha thing. They could save A LOT of headache, time, and money if they updated a few things on the two strokes to match the four strokes. But rather than take the small effort to do that, they take the easy route and keep things as they are.
It's maddening on our end with triple clamps. The four stroke clamps are different from the 125 two stroke clamps, which are different still from the 250 two stroke clamps. For us to offer two colors of clamps in two different offsets, it's only four different part numbers to cover the whole KTM/Husky/GasGas big bike off-road and motocross lineup. For Yamaha it's 12 different part numbers!
It actually does not just "bolt right up." I went this route on my YZ250, but I had to heat up and stretch the top mounting tab of the number plate so the bottom of it would sit flush with the front fender.
Guessing the YZ250 stem is slightly longer, or perhaps the clamps are "taller" in whatever combination makes the distance from top to bottom plastic mounting points a bit further than the 4 stroke models.
I'm going to use an angled extension plate for a cleaner bolt up option when it comes time to replace the front plastic.
I like the look A LOT more than the stock front. Even riding the bike, the front fender looks better from the cockpit!
I was wondering if you had to modify it at all. Fits okay on the 125. The cable guide bracket is forced against the top clamp. Hopefully it doesn't rub the clamp finish down. I'll need to fab a rubber spacer on the right side. OEM brake line is slightly snug even after adjusting front master cylinder and front pinch clamp.
This x 10. Go get it Triumph
