Engine Specifications
|
Primary Engine
|
Engine Type:
|
Likely a single-cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled engine (common for this era/type of Yamaha motorcycle)
|
Displacement:
|
249cc (based on model number BR250F, '250' often indicates displacement)
|
Performance
|
Horsepower:
|
Specific figures not provided, but expected to be in the 20-30 HP range for this displacement and era.
|
Torque:
|
Specific figures not provided, but expected to provide adequate low-to-mid range torque for its class.
|
Fuel System
|
Carburetion:
|
Likely a single carburetor setup, specific model (e.g., Mikuni VM series) would be detailed in the manual.
|
Ignition
|
Ignition Type:
|
CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) is highly probable for this era.
|
Lubrication
|
Oil Type:
|
Yamaha recommends specific motorcycle-grade engine oil, likely 10W-40 or 20W-50, conforming to API SG or higher.
|
Cooling
|

|
Air-cooled
|
Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Oil Change:
|
Typically every 3,000-5,000 km (2,000-3,000 miles) or annually, whichever comes first.
|
Air Filter Cleaning:
|
Recommended every 3,000-6,000 km (2,000-4,000 miles) or as needed based on riding conditions.
|
Spark Plug Replacement:
|
Typically every 10,000-15,000 km (6,000-10,000 miles), or as per manual recommendations.
|
Chain Lubrication Adjustment:
|
Regularly, every 500-1,000 km (300-600 miles) and after washing or riding in wet conditions.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Coolant Type:
|
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, mixed with distilled water in a 50/50 ratio. Specific Yamaha coolant or equivalent.
