Ron's 2005 WR450F lowering question and fork height

Ron writes "I see you have a product that will lower the rear of my WR450 by 1.5 inches. The front needs to be lowered as well, but I don’t see any comment on how to do this on your website. I judge that I can move the fork tubes up about 1/2-inch, but this won’t be enough, I think. Ron"

Our reply: Ron, Hello. There is no 1:1 ratio of rear vs front lowering. And as you stated there is not enough room to raise the forks in the clamps 1.5 inches anyway. Each YamaLink comes with instructions covering everything from resetting rear sag, proper spring rate increase for the YamaLink, rebound and compression fine tuning and the aforementioned fork height adjustment.
