Yamaha WR250F WR450 suspension lowering link setup

A WRF lowering link rider from Big Sky Country asked for some setup tips. 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.

Email or call after your first test ride or two. At your weight it's a
pretty easy setup for off-road riding.
