YZ250-E

[Davey Crocket]

I'm with Brad on this....make 1 exception and then the floodgates open...shit I would love to ride my 2000 model FC501 Husaberg in pre 78.....125 class of course.....and that folks is EXACTLY the same as what Rookie wants to do....might be a different bike but still the same outcome (I might woop Brads arse for once but I dought it). Vintage Motocross is about era racing, we are lucky enough to have age racing in some classes aswell and you know what....it works....you need a structure otherwise it falls apart and you would loose more riders that do the right thing than you would gain riders who want to do the wrong thing. I'm surprised that a club has givin the OK for this and would like to see that in writing. Its funny how "newbees" come to the sport, the rules dont suit them so they have to change them, it happens all the time and when someone pulls them up about it they usually sulk off and or start the personal attacks....we have I think one of the best Vintage systems in the world and although not perfect seems to work for the majority of people.

Can someone please point out to me the 5 most significant differences between the 250 D&E, besides the obvious swing arm

There's only one difference that matters....the release date.

[Tahitian_Red]

Differences between YZ400D and E only a few.

Differences between YZ250D and E quite a few.

Anyone who cared to elaborate I'd be greatly appreciative. FWIW this thread is quicky approaching 500 views, from that I've had 3 genuine people help me out with bikes they intend to sell or point me in the direction of one they know of. Thankyou to those people, your help is much appreciated.

Regards, Brendan

The 250E has the small case motor, 6 speed box, longer underhang on the fork legs, different barrell (same piston), different electronics and stator, slightly lighter, different frame, air cleaner and the obvious, different swing arm.

They share with the 250D, rear shock, seat, tank, wheels and brakes.

The YZ400D and E are identical in most things except for forks and swing arm.

Plus

Different expansion chamber, D has the bolt on flange on the barrel that the pipe fits into where the E has the extruded exhaust port like most 2 strokes from 78/79 onwards. Kickstarter.

The YZ250E & the YZ250F are almost identical in the engine. Electrics are different but as long as you swap the lot, stator plate & coils, stator & CDI you can use either. Hi tension coil the same.
