2007 Yamaha YZ250F Overview

Yamaha YZ250F is a cross / motocross motorcycle, displacing 250 cc. Power comes from a Single cylinder engine running DOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 12.5:1. Bore and stroke come in at 77 x 53.6 mm. On the road, the 2007 YZ250F tips the scales at 92.7 kg, carries a 6.81-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 983 mm and spans a 1,468 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 5.9 kg lighter than the average cross / motocross motorcycle in our database. The full 2007 Yamaha YZ250F spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2007 YZ250F - Pros & Cons

Strengths

  • Factory engineering: Yamaha built the YZ250F around a straightforward, purposeful specification rather than chasing any single standout feature.

Considerations

  • Carburetor fuelling: Expect to spend more time keeping the carbs in tune, especially after long storage periods or a change in altitude.
  • Tall seat height: At 983 mm, shorter riders will likely be on tiptoes at a standstill - worth sitting on one before you buy.
  • Modest fuel capacity: Range between stops is limited by the 6.81-litre tank - plan fuel stops accordingly on longer routes.
  • Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Carburetor maintenance

Carburetors on the YZ250F need periodic attention - pilot jets and float needles are the first parts to gum up after the bike sits, and the first thing to check if idle or throttle response degrades.

Valve clearance checks

With DOHC valve gear, the YZ250F needs periodic clearance checks; caught early they're a cheap adjustment, left unchecked they accelerate valve seat wear.

Brake disc and pad wear

Braking up front comes from Single disc - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The YZ250F's suspension runs Telescopic Fork, coil spring/oil damper, 11.8´ at the front. The rear uses Swingarm. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

The YZ250F uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.

Low-speed handling

92.7 kg keeps the YZ250F easy to move around in tight spaces, car parks and on the stand alike.

YZ250F - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2007 Yamaha YZ250F, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy YZ250F should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects a YZ250F's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.

Carburetor upkeep

Deposits in the carbs are the usual culprit behind poor running on a stored YZ250F - strip and clean the float bowls before the first start. Pilot jets clog first and get overlooked most, so make a point of checking them.

Valve clearance service

Valve clearances are easy to overlook on a used YZ250F since a bike out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but the wear it causes is real. Ask the seller for documentation before assuming it's been done.
