Setting up WRF Yamaha suspension lowering link kit with YamaLink

Ty, a WRF rider out of Montana, asked for setup tips when installing his YamaLink.....


"I'm 5'6" with 30" inseam. Weigh about 165 lb. Anything you want to recommend before I start the install would be great."

Our reply.....

"I'd follow the simple install instructions which are included, and set you sag at around 94mm for starters.

Turn the shock's high speed compression (the big knob at the top of the shock, not the flat blade) IN clockwise about 1/4 turn for starters. Then turn in your rear shock's rebound (flat blade at bottom) a few clicks IN.

Slide the forks tubes up about 4mm. Test ride. Make adjustments to rear first. Then fine tune. You'll notice a huge increase in traction and plushness over the square edge and braking bumps. Your main goal is to only have the rear bottom once or twice per ride. You also want controlled rebound due to the extra leverage."
