Yamaha XT225 SEROW 1997 Parts & Accessories

Produced from 1986 through 2007, the Yamaha XT225 (also known as the Yamaha Serow) was a legendary lightweight dual-sport motorcycle renowned for its agility, reliability, and low seat height. Preceded and later superseded by the XT250, the XT225 was powered by an air-cooled 223 cc SOHC single-cylinder engine that produced 20 horsepower and 19 Nm of torque. Built around a lightweight single-cradle frame with long-travel Monocross rear suspension and a 6-speed transmission, it excelled at low-speed technical off-road riding, trail exploring, and urban commuting. Weighing just 108 kg dry, the Serow earned an enduring reputation worldwide as an approachable, bulletproof dual-purpose machine.
