2009 Yamaha YBR 250 07 0.3L Petrol · HN09 OGG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 43,270 miles passed with only a minor drive chain advisory. This follows a significant failure in October 2024 where the bike was rejected for steering headbearing and rear wheel bearing issues. While the critical failures were addressed, the recurring nature of mechanical defects suggests components are only replaced once they reach a failure threshold. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 43,270 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 2,545 miles per year. This low usage often implies the vehicle has sat for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite low mileage. The mileage accumulation between tests is consistent, with roughly 1,700 miles driven between 2023 and 2024, and another 1,439 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. A buyer must personally inspect the steering assembly and wheel bearings, as the steering was noted as stiff or notchy in 2024 and the rear wheel bearing showed excessive play during that same period. The front brake lever has been flagged as short in three consecutive tests between 2023 and 2024, indicating significant wear or an issue with the master cylinder. Given the low mileage and age, the inspection should also check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and perished fork seals, both of which are common issues for motorcycles that remain stationary for long intervals.
