    Weak stream on 250 SHO

    I've got a 2012 Yamaha 250 SHO and it seems the "pee" stream is kinda weak compared to other (2 stroke) motors I've had. There are no alarms when at idle or when I'm at full throttle. So, is this common for this motor or should it really be squirting out of that motor?

    My ‘18 250 SHO also has a weak stream compared to other motors I’ve had and seen. Gets stronger at WOT, but still not super strong. Mechanic hooked it up to the computer the other day and had zero issues or concerns.

    It's completely normal. They all do that.

    Definitely not going to be the same at idle as you are at WOT like a lot of 2-Strokes. They have a thermostatically controlled system; however, if you have a 2012 model, based on hours I would replace it.
