The 2008 MY YZ250F gets a lot of updates and takes performance one step ahead in the quarter-liter class. Yamaha's 4-stroke 250cc dirt racer gets multiple engine revisions for the new model year, and they include a new piston, new mapping, a lighter fork and much more.
The upgrades were focused on improved performance and lighter weight, with even the carburetor receiving some tweaks, as well. Adjustable levers, new suspension and frame elements, a redesigned brake pedal, and new, wider pegs are also part of the upgrades list.
