Yamaha YZ250F2 2016 Owner's Manual

For optimal performance, it is recommended to change the oil every 10-15 hours of riding, or after every 2-3 races.
Yamaha recommends 10W-40 or 10W-50 fully synthetic oil for the YZ250F2 2016 to ensure smooth operation and protection under high temperatures.
If your YZ250F2 is having trouble starting, check the spark plug for wear or fouling, ensure the fuel is fresh, and inspect the air filter for blockages.
The recommended tire pressure for the YZ250F2 is typically 12-15 psi for off-road conditions. Adjust based on terrain and rider preference.
To adjust the suspension, refer to the owner's manual for baseline settings. Use the clickers on the forks and shock to adjust compression and rebound damping to suit your riding style and terrain.
Routine maintenance includes checking and replacing the oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, inspecting the chain and sprockets, checking brake pads, and tightening all bolts to specified torque settings.
Remove the air filter from the bike, wash it with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, allow it to dry completely, then re-oil with a proper air filter oil before reinstalling.
Common issues include starting problems, which can often be resolved by checking the spark plug and fuel system, and suspension settings, which can be adjusted to provide better handling.
For off-season storage, clean the bike thoroughly, change the oil, fill the tank with fuel stabilizer, disconnect the battery, and store the bike in a dry, cool place. Cover it to protect from dust and moisture.
To improve performance, consider upgrading the exhaust system, re-jetting the carburetor, adjusting the suspension to your riding style, and ensuring regular maintenance is performed.
