With the new frame layout, much of the YZ250F was able to be reworked, including the suspension, motor and bodywork.

Yamaha has moved to the twin-spar design and it has led to changes all around the bike as a result.

The airbox is reshaped to allow for a straighter intake and the exhaust handles spent fuel.

Yamaha turned its smallest 4-stroke YZ-F inside out with a redesigned chassis – somewhat literally, actually.

The fuel tank now holds the smaller 1.7 gallons of fuel between the spars rather than around the sides of the main backbone, helping to center and lower the weight.

Rider input is stronger thanks to the new layout and turning ability is supposedly much more agile.

Aiding in the handling department is the rider position. The new fuel tank, flatter seat, higher footpegs and the lower/rearward steering head put the pilot forward and increases pressure on the front end.
