Tanks and seat swaps

I am pretty certain a 96' seat/tank will not be a direct swap onto a 95 YZ or WR, the frames are quite different. I think, but am not 100% sure that a 93-95 YZ250 seat and tank would be a direct swap.

good luck

The 93-95 YZ seat and tank will fit. 100% sure of this.

The only problem with this is you lose fuel capacity, so if you need the bigger capacity, it could be a bad move to put on the smaller tank. If you need a big tank, but want better ergonomics, maybe you can still find something aftermarket that will fit without being so ergonomically offensive? It was the biggest gripe about those bikes at the time, was that Yamaha couldn't have screwed the ergonomics of the WR up much more so easily as with that bulbous fuel tank. The RMX and E/XC were much more friendly, with the same fuel capacity. The WR also had a more abrupt powerband than the other 250 enduros at the time, which turned some off.

Call IMS. I had a riding bud who used to have a WR250, and at the time bought their tank/seat combo.
