  • First Ride on the 2022 Yamaha YZ250F | Differences from 2021 Model

Since 1948, Barnett has been manufacturing American made clutches with the finest, cutting edge materials available. The new Barnett C22 Carbon and K22 Kevlar friction materials are made exclusively for Barnett and no other manufacturer- foreign or domestic. Barnett was the first to introduce the Kevlar friction material to the industry in 1991 and the Carbon friction material in 2000. Today Barnett continues to be run by three generations of the Barnett family at the Ventura, California facility. Built with passion, driven by performance.

The Yamaha YZ250F doesn’t have that many changes to it for 2022. Yamaha lightened up the hub, sprocket, and chain, and they installed a 2.15 rear rim (instead of the 1.85 2021 rear rim), and went to Dunlop MX33 tires with a 110 rear-tire in stock trim. The fork’s low speed damping was increased to try and create less pitching off throttle, and there you have it, the 2022 YZ250F. The engine still has that same great torquey feeling it did in 2021 so all of you vet riders take note. We went and grabbed a couple different riders: a young 135-pound B level rider (Aden Keefer) and an older, Vet C rider (Michael Allen) to see if the 2022 YZ250F can please a wide variety of skill levels and abilities. Did it make a difference on the track? Check out the video for some points to ponder before your purchase.
