how do you tell the difference 250 450

[rmzRacer293]

The head and radiators are smaller on a 250F. For the Yamaha's I always look at the waterpump, they are very different looking on the outside. If it is an aluminum framed YZ then the 450 has the oil tank build into the engine with the dipstick in front of the cylinder and the 250F has an external oil tank in front of the engine (if it hasn't been removed).

exactly same things i look at. cant always tell by a tire. my 450 has a 110 out back and i also put a 110 on my old rmz250...

Forsure the water pump is the way to tell. I have one of each and never noticed. Way differend.

If you open the 250 and 450 pix, full screen and toggle between them, pretty cool, there is a lot more open area on the 250. You can see about twice the light coming though.

Like he says. And by the way the 450 wheelies away in fourth and fifth.
