About the Yamaha RD250
Brake and suspension service parts for Yamaha’s early RD250 two-stroke twin.
Yamaha’s 1973 RD250 paired an air-cooled two-stroke twin with Torque Induction and a six-speed transmission. For today’s owner, a restoration also involves the chassis: fork sealing and brake condition matter alongside the engine. The selected parts below focus on those early RD250 service jobs.
Match the early chassis before choosing later fuel parts
The fork seals and front pads cover RD250 1973–1975; the caliper kit covers 1973–1977. Fuel-system entries recorded for 1982 require a separate model and component check. Identify the cooling type, carburetor and fuel tap rather than using a later RD250 date as evidence for an early-bike repair.

1973–1975 fork and front-pad applications
The selected seal and pad listings agree on this early range. Compare the fitted fork and caliper if the motorcycle has been modified.
A wider caliper-kit range
The selected kit also lists 1976–1977. That does not extend the chosen 1973–1975 front pads or fork seals to those years.
Identify your motorcycle before orderingRD250 identification checklist
Use the motorcycle’s identification and the fitted component together. A registration year or family name can leave important application details unresolved.
- Confirm the year, full RD designation and air- or liquid-cooled engine configuration.
- Read the carburetor markings before choosing any kit listed only for a later year.
- Compare the fitted caliper, pad backing plate and old fork-seal dimensions.
