WHAT ARE THE ORIGIONAL SIZE TYRES FOR A YAMAHA TIMBERWOLF 250 TWO WHEEL DRIVE

We need a little more details... what/where is clicking..is the engine running when the clicking happens.. more details

I apologize - my answer to the previous question didn't really clarify your actual question - Your VIN can be found along the frame rail - left hand side - about a foot or so ahead of your left foot guard -



If it's still there - your model number is here:

If you can read your VIN - and here's a tip to know you're getting the whole number and it's not rusted away a digit; your second digit should be a (Y) - if you write down your VIN, second digit is Y so you know the placement is right - the 10th digit is the year. And here are the breakdowns for that 10th Digit:

(For all Yamahas - not just the Timberwolf):
88 - J, 89 - K, 90 - L, 91 - M, 92 - N, 93 - P, 94 - R, 95 - S, 96 - T, 97 - V, 98 - W, 99 - X, 2000 - Y, 01 - 1, 02 - 2, 03 - 3

From 1992 - 1998 the Yamaha 250 4-stroke, shaft drive, trail bike was the Timberwolf.

From 1999 - 2004 the Yamaha 250 4-stroke, shaft drive, trail bike was the Bear Tracker.

*****SAME ENGINE, SAME TRANSMISSION, SAME REAR END, TIRE SIZE, PULL START - THINGS THEY DEFINITELY CHANGED IN 1999 WHEN THEY STARTED CALLING THEM THE BEAR TRACKER: - PLASTICS BECAME A LITTLE LONGER I BELIEVE; AND THE SEAT WITHOUT A DOUBT BECAME LONGER. THE CARB WENT TO A CONSTANT VACUUM - INSTEAD OF THE SLIDE CARB WHERE THE THROTTLE CABLE WENT THROUGH THE CAP LIKE THE TIMBERWOLF. HARD TO REMEMBER - BUT I THINK THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER BECAME UNADJUSTABLE - AND NOT MUCH ELSE CHANGED. IN 99 THEY EVEN KEPT THE BRAKING SYSTEM THE SAME. SOMETIME AROUND 2000, 01 OR SO THE BRAKE SYSTEM CHANGED FOR THE FRONT WHEN YAMAHA WENT TO DISC BRAKES. HOPE THIS HELPS. ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR TIMBERWOLF JUST LET ME KNOW - I'VE OWNED, REBUILT, BOUGHT, SOLD, TRADED A TON - I'VE CURRENTLY GOT A 99 BEAR TRACKER THAT IS THE MOST DEPENDABLE 250 4 STROKE I'VE EVER OWNED AND A 1996 YAMAHA WOLVERINE 350 4X4 - I'VE REBUILT THEM FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP. THOSE BIKES ARE GOLDEN IF YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM AND DO A LITTLE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. ALL THE BEST - JUSTIN MCCARTNEY

THE 99 I MENTIONED THAT I STILL HAVE:


A 98 I BOUGHT WITH THE ENGINE IN A MILK CRATE THAT I BOUGHT, REBUILT & SOLD:


A 2004 I BOUGHT, REBUILT AND SOLD:

All the best - let me know if you're ever in a jam with yours; not too much I haven't seen, fixed or had to deal with.

HERE IS MY NEW PROJEC PAINTING MY 250 TIMBER WOLFIM REPARING ... back break replacement on Yamaha timberwolf 250cc tutorial ...

rock the machine back & forth & try to ease the gear pedal back into neutral..i guess its jammed

Worn transmission shift arms. You will need to remove the transmission and rebuild it.

The Timberwolf has a cable operated brake system, not a hydraulic so there is not a master cylinder. Most likely causes are: mud in brake drum, broken/weak return springs (inside brake drum) or a sticking cable. Take off rear wheel to access the drum, and then remove the drum. The problem should become clear. BTW..hydraulic brakes use brake fluid, not oil.

It should be stamped on the left hand lower frame.

not for a Yamaha YZ 250

I think your bike has CDI ignition which means the ignition timing is fixed and cannot be changed. Are you having a problem of some sort?

check to see if driveshaft to rear is turning.if it is, either the ring gear & pinion gear in the differential are not making good contact either from being worn, or out of alignment due to worn bearings in differential case,or both.check if axle has back & forth play in differential,indicating worn beaings. also could be worn ring gear to axle contact in differential.check for vibration in axle while in gear increasing as you give it more gas, caused from ring gear teeth slipping past teeth on axle.they would have to be replaced together. oversize wheels & tires tend to accelerate axle/ring gear contact teeth.
