Built around Yamaha's cross - motocross motorcycle platform, the 2024 Yamaha YZ250F 50th Anniversary Edition pairs a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 77.0 x 53.6 mm (3.0 x 2.1 inches) with a 13.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the YZ250F 50th Anniversary Edition measures 1 kg (2 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 970 mm (38.2 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,476 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 6.06-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.

Notes
The all-new Traction Control System communicates wheel slip to the ECU, tuning the engine to maintain ideal rear wheel traction. Three levels can be selected: HIGH, LOW or OFF. The updated Launch Control System now features an rpm limiter which can be adjusted in 500 rpm increments between 6,000 rpm and 14,000 rpm for optimized launches when the gate drops. Both systems are controlled through the Yamaha Power Tuner App.
