What are the problems with the Yamaha XT250?
Among the most important issues include unforeseen heat that could melt the bike’s air induction hose. In the event this happens, the bike’s fuel injection sub-wiring harness could become exposed to exhaust gases and the harness wires’ plastic insulation could melt after that.
What makes a rattling noise in the front end?
Rattling, Clunking Noise in Front End: This Noise Is Driving Us This noise is driving us bonkers. When we hit a rough place in the road, the front end rattles or clunks. If we are on a gravel road, the nose is horrible. Sounds like the front end is falling out. We replaced stabilizer links, but no improvement. New struts did not help, either.
What should I do if my car engine is rattling?
Yup, it’s another problem that causes engine rattling, especially at idle. It’s a fairly involved job to replace the valve lifters, and it’s best to change the whole set. Repair costs vary a lot, from $470 to $2,100, all because engines are so different in their parts and labor processes.
Which is better a Suzuki M50 or Yamaha XT250?
I have had this bike for a few months now and love it more than my 2003 DR200. This bike is perfect to scoot around town. It rides excellent on the road at 40-50 mph. and is equally at home riding forest service roads. I actually prefer this bike to my Suzuki M50 for riding around town.

What makes a Yamaha XT250 a mountain goat?
Having a 2nd wheel makes it easy to switch between tires for the intended ride. This XT250 transformation will make for a mountain goat on the Slickrock trails. Those who have ridden there understand what I mean, others just don’t get how inspiring riding there truly is. A place where a trials tire rules.
Is the OE suspension good enough for a Yamaha XT250?
Frankly, the OE suspension is good enough. Add preload to the rear and spacers in the forks and you will extend the range of weight carrying, while reducing the effective compression stroke. But it will be good enough.
Why does my Yamaha outboard not start up?
An outboard that doesn’t run smoothly, fails to deliver maximum power and struggles to idle could be experiencing fuel pump problems. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.
Why does my Yamaha 650 run too rich?
If the left side is completely black, she’s running too rich, no air leaks on that side likely haha. A couple things affect how rich/lean the bike runs at idle, easiest thing to check/adjust first is the float level. New idle mixture screws can be purchased from mikesxs.com (look for parts for the 650, our shared carb is the BS34).
What should I do if my motorcycle won’t start?
Unless you have one of those new all-electric motorcycles, your bike needs three main things to run- Spark, Fuel/Air mixture and Compression. Your bike will either run rough or not start at all without the proper amounts of any of those elements.

Why does the round slide on my Yamaha die?
The round slide seems pretty stout, but the diaphragm that controls its operation could get a tear in it and cause it not to operate right. There are lots of pinholes in the needle jet that clog up easily. The main jet is a pretty big hole that wouldn’t clog too easily, and mainly just limits the flow at full WOT.

Why are my high beam headlights not working?
In the case of high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights, or Xenon headlights, there’s an additional component. To get the xenon and salts to plasma state, the HID generator bumps the voltage up to 30,000 V, then stabilizes around 90 V when the bulb is in operation. If the generator fails, the bulb won’t light.
Where to go in California with a Yamaha XT250?
Take the Lost Coast of California, a place with everything from towering redwoods to very remote Pacific Ocean with mountains between. So many miles of unpaved backroads for exploring. All perfect for the XT250 because of the relative compact nature of the area. Close to many motels and lots of camping.
What should I do if my headlight light is not working?
The best way to do this is to turn the headlight switch on, connect the negative lead on your meter to a known good ground, and touch the positive lead to each headlight connector terminal. One of the terminals should show battery voltage, and the other two should show nothing if the problem is burned out bulbs.
Can a headlight bulb burn out at the same time?
Even though both of your headlight bulbs have been exposed to the exact same conditions, they usually won’t fail at exactly the same time. So it’s actually pretty common to have one bulb burn out before the other.
What happens if you change both headlights at the same time?
If you aren’t absolutely confident in your ability to swap the bulbs without contaminating the glass envelope, don’t do it. You may destroy, or drastically shorten the life of, your good bulb. When both headlights stop working at the same time, the bulbs usually aren’t at fault.
