Which Yamaha WR250R years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 2008-2021 model years. Use the year-specific changes section above for the exact value attached to each changed year.
How much does a full tank add to the Yamaha WR250R?

What is the combined Yamaha WR250R and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative wet/running weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 475 lb (215.4 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Yamaha WR250R power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 10.39 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower. That places it around the 63rd percentile within the compatible Yamaha enduro / offroad power-to-weight comparison.
How heavy is the Yamaha WR250R after filling the fuel tank?
