As wildly successful as the 250F is, Yamaha would be stupid to just leave it as is and let the competition catch up with them.
Here's my wish list for 2002:
1. Lose about 5-7 pounds.
2. Adjustable bar mounts - for better ergos.
3. Lower seat height.
4. Redesigned exhaust - for more beans.
5. Automatic decompression release.
6. Bar mounted hot start button/switch.
7. Fix the bog problem.
8. Decent chain.
Here's my "I really wish, but don't think I'll get it list":
1. Electric start option.
2. No-link rear suspension ala KTM for reduced weight.
