The XL250S of 1981 was the last to have the 23 inch front wheel, twin rear shocks and 6 volt electrical system that were unique to it. The rear brakes were upgraded and sat in a larger hub, the clutch of five plates was modified, and the Australian and continental variants had handsome gauges for speed and engine revolutions.
