Hey Guys,
Happy Friday.
This isn't a bike build exactly, but this section seemed like an appropriate place to share this info...(it will be a build soon, however!)
I recently converted my old 2003 steel framed YZ250 into what looks like a 2022 model using all the newest OEM body components. So I thought I'd share all my findings for others that wish to do the same.
It's very easy as some may have already guessed & there is really only one caveat for steel framed YZ owners. You have to remove a little material from the subframe for steelies. Video details where to remove a little aluminum.
What you'll need to convert your 02-21 YZ into a 2022 body equipped beauty:
Quick note...
-This is a list of OEM's you need that will pair with some of your existing YZ's fasteners.
Example: Your 2002-2021 rear fender uses two threaded inserts & bolts on the upper & inner fender-to-subframe mounting locations. One holds your silencer too, for reference.
However, on the 2022 model, the rear fender uses 4 of these fastener setups instead of 2. The rear number plates are now bolted to the rear fender below the mounts I previously spoke about above.
So if you're ordering based off of my list, be sure to add the two extra bolts & fasteners if you want to replace & not re-use your existing stuff.
Long story short- mind the quantities of things as you add them to your cart.
I tried to keep the mod as cost effective as possible & omitted "extras" if the old YZ already had them, since most bikes are not "full builds".
I also did not purchase the tuning fork logo/ sticker that goes onto the seat mounting access cap. (see in video)

Guys, don't hesitate to ask any questions about the mod.
Happy to help you if needed.
I picked it up for an upcoming build / giveaway & wanted to do this mod for some good content along the way.
Back to your question though:
The bike may be able to intake more air with the new bodywork, as there is some open ducting from the new subframe design. You can sort of see the "vents" at the rear of the seat, where the rear # plates & fender meet. Right behind my last name on the decals.
A good lead might be to see if Yamaha themselves changed their stock jetting baseline from 2021 to 2022 on the YZ250. Not sure if the YZ125 jet sizes are relevant if they have changed, as there was some exhaust valve mods if I remember reading that correctly?
The intake boot is the same too. Parts fiche shows a different part number but when received, it's identical with a patching part number in the mold.
At any rate, you could always just re-jet, right? 💪 I'm sure it would be slight if even needed at all. Cool question.
Have a killer day, Joe!

Thanks for backing up the jetting question for Joe too.
For those that have made the switch did the update to newer design help that triangle and make the riding experience better, as in “100% totally worth it”?
First couple of rides he said it felt different. But heck changes to lever position makes the whole bike feel differnt to me

What quantity of each part is required? Kinda confused on your wording?
Secondly, can the original subframes 2004+ Aluminum ones be modified to fit the newer style or is it just too different and require a new one at $300+?
Pit Row
Anyone looked into making the 04+ subframe work ? Looks like the difference between the old style and the new style is ears for the seat bolts on the old one vs the new one not having them and the new one has what looks like a support bar which I have been told the 22+ seat dosent even make contact with it
The old subframes will not work, the way the seats, fenders etc.. fit is way different.
Simply use these part numbers as a guide or reference when browsing/ selecting from a parts microfiche. The illustrations (picture in the fiche) will have a layout, so you'll see what you do and don't need.
Great info Charles!
My question is , if I want to upgrade to the 22 shrouds on my 2014. Will I just need the fuel tank and seat?
Thank you 👍
Just doing shrouds only won’t work
Thanks Adam. So I'll need the entire "kit" ?
Oem tank sub frame air box and seat at the minimum and of course plastics just did it cost about 1400$
$1400…. Daaaaaaaamn 😳
Not cheap 400$ oem tank 400$ oem subframe. 200$ seat. plastics graphics bolts here and there and other little hardware
Bike looks great Adam!
Steeper investment if you have a newer bike as I've seen some nice used 22's for around 5500. Better investment if you have a steel frame 125/250 like Charles' build. You can find those bike's much cheaper. I found a cherry 03 for 1500.
I agree mine is a “05” and I’m in everything how you see it 4500-5k bought the bike out of a barn for 700$ in ruff shape
If you need a set of sss forks for that 05 Adamw21 I can help ya out 😎 I may have a set for ya… LoL (like 5 regular sets & 3 kit sets)
