2004 Yamaha WR 250 F Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Yamaha for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2004 Yamaha WR 250 F utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15.2 HP (11.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 21.6 Nm (15.9 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 61 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the WR 250 F measures 105.5 kg (233 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (6.94 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 998 mm (39.3 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
