Yamaha recommends using a 10W-40 or 10W-50 motor oil that meets JASO MA standards for the WR250FG 2016. Always check your owner’s manual for any specific recommendations.
It is recommended to change the oil every 3,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
To adjust the chain tension, first loosen the axle nut. Then, adjust the chain adjusters on both sides of the swing arm evenly. Ensure there is about 1.2 to 1.6 inches of slack in the chain before tightening the axle nut back in place.
The recommended tire pressure for the WR250FG 2016 is 15 psi for the front tire and 18 psi for the rear tire. Check tire pressures regularly for optimal handling and tire longevity.
If your WR250FG 2016 is having starting issues, check the battery charge, ensure the fuel is fresh, and inspect the spark plug for fouling. If the problem persists, consult a professional mechanic.
Remove the air filter and wash it with a mild detergent and water. Allow it to dry completely before applying a light coat of air filter oil. Reinstall the filter securely in the air box.
For off-road riding, you might want to soften the suspension settings. Adjust the rebound and compression damping by turning the adjusters counter-clockwise. Always make small adjustments and test ride to achieve the desired comfort and handling.
Common signs include visible wear on the sprocket teeth, excessive chain slack, and uneven chain stretching. If you notice these signs, it's time to replace the chain and sprocket to prevent further damage.
To check valve clearances, remove the valve cover and use a feeler gauge to measure the gap between the valve and camshaft. Adjust as necessary by replacing shims to achieve proper clearance. Refer to the service manual for specific measurements and procedures.
Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear, check brake fluid levels, and ensure there are no leaks in the brake lines. Replace brake pads and fluid as needed to maintain effective braking performance.
