Taylor rides 2002 YZ250 and weighs 195 pounds. Spring rate question if lowering with YamaLink

I’m only 5’5” tall. I would like to buy a lowering link, but I weigh 195 lbs. What link would I need? How do I know what spring to use? I ride a 2002 YZ250 2 Stroke.

Hi. You need a heavier spring with the stock setup at 195 pounds to achieve proper sag. At your weight there is no way the YZ250 can be set up with proper sag.

And when you add a YamaLink to your 2002 YZ250 the spring rate needed is for a 220 pound rider to offset the YamaLink's extra leverage. More info can be found HERE.
