Please note – The 89mph top speed was Yamaha’s estimated top speed (used on their marketing bumph!) back in the 1980’s. Note: Some models had a slightly smaller, 15 tooth front sprocket instead of the standard 16 tooth front sprocket (if your replacing your old sprocket, count the teeth to see which one you have!) Note: You’ll need a clutch holding tool for removing it, a clutch lever if you’ve dropped it and possibly a clutch cable if it’s suddenly stopped working!įinal drive: Chain ( chain and sprocket kits ) Oil filter: Filtrex OIF018 / Hiflo HF145 / K&N KN-145įiring order: If your looking for the firing order you might want to read this book (hint, it’s a SINGLE CYLINDER engine)! 🙂Ĭlutch: wet (oil immersed), multi plate clutch Recommended engine oil (4T): 10w40 Semi Synthetic motorcycle oilĮngine oil capacity: 1.3 litres (1.6 litres if the oil filter is changed as well) Inlet valve clearance (when cold): 0.05mm to 0.10mmĮxhaust valve clearance (when cold): 0.12mm to 0.17mm Group 4 (of 17) – SR250 insurance up for renewal?

The SR250SE proved to be (and still is) a popular and reliable commuter bike. The SR250 was available in other countries and was called the SR250 Exciter in the USA.
YAMAHA SR250 1995 MANUAL LICENSE
With styling taken from the Yam SR500 and SR400, the SR 250 was aimed at the popular quarter litre motorbike market (in the UK we used to be able to ride a motorcycle up to 250cc on a car license without the need to take any further motorbike tests). The Yamaha SR250 SE was a commuter style 4 stroke motorcycle manufactured between 19 (ish!).
