XT250

2011 Yamaha XT250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Yamaha for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2011 Yamaha XT250 features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 29.5 HP (21.5 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 118.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the XT250 measures 132 kg (291 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.47 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,359 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.08-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.22 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 282 km (175 miles) between fill-ups.
