Also like its four-stroke sibling the 250 gets fitted with new aluminum suspension bits including all-new low-friction outer fork tubes and a new rear shock with separate high- and low-speed damping adjustability. Couple these to a stiffer lighter-weight triple clamp and frame add a reworked steering crown with a more-forward handlebar position and what was already super-smooth handling and lightning-quick steering has been honed to an even finer point. Hooking this seriously potent powerband up to the rear wheel is a retooled clutch setup with a new stainless steel cable and a works-type adjustable lever system (same as Yamaha's YZ426F and 125) that delivers better feel and greater control through the entire moto.
