Yamaha WR250F / YZ250FX Starter Motor: Fitment Before You Buy
WR250F and YZ250FX are the model names to keep in view when checking this starter. Dropping the final letters from a Yamaha 250 search makes it harder to distinguish the application you actually need.

01 / Identify your application
Keep the F and FX model suffixes
We supply an aftermarket starter listed for WR250F and YZ250FX applications from 2015–2019, using OEM cross-reference 2GB-81890-01. Start with the full model designation and original starter reference for your own bike.
A result for “Yamaha 250 starter” may not describe a WR250F or YZ250FX application at all. Do not infer WR250R, YZ250F or another 250 model is covered by this listing. If your model letters differ, have the application checked separately.
02 / Take a closer look
Compare the part before it goes in your basket.
Compare the replacement’s mounting points, drive-end shape and terminal arrangement using our gallery. Include every character of 2GB-81890-01 when comparing references. If the original catalogue gives another suffix or a superseded number, send it to us before placing the order.
03 / Prepare for the repair
Yamaha WR250F / YZ250FX: what to sort before fitting
For a bike that has changed hands, gather the model identification and photos before stripping anything down just to look for a number. A correct parts-catalogue lookup may identify the original reference without removing the motor. Once fitment is established, plan installation using the workshop information for your exact model.
Confirm the fault first. Slow or absent cranking can involve the battery, connections or starter. Test before replacing parts. DENSO explains this diagnostic approach.
Our starter testing guide and no-start checklist help organise the next checks. Use your exact model’s workshop specifications for the repair.
1. Identify
Have the full model, year and original reference ready. Include photos if the number is missing.
2. Match
Compare the listing and gallery. Ask us to resolve any reference or physical difference before ordering.
3. Prepare
Check the workshop procedure and any extra items required so the whole job is planned.

Yamaha WR250F / YZ250FX starter FAQs
Does this also fit a WR250R?
WR250R is not an application named in this listing. Confirm it separately rather than treating WR250R and WR250F as the same model.
Does this cover a WR250F after 2019?
Later years are outside the range stated here. Send your exact model year and original starter reference so we can check the appropriate listing.
What should I send you for a fitment check?
The full model designation, model year, original part reference and clear photos of the starter and its connection. Call 0437 723 708 to discuss anything that does not match the listing.
