Brian's 2005 YZ 250 lowering link question for YamaLink.com

Brian asked "I am looking for a lowering link that will still allow for very aggressive riding. I am 200 lbs., short short inseam, but am also a very full throttle rider. I run road courses in WMRRA, and play hard on dirt as well. Picked up a 05 YZ250 and can’t even throw a freaking leg over it. I do not want to lose performance, especially jump travel. What do you guys have that will work?"

And our answer was: At 200 pounds you need a much heavier spring for an 05 YZ250. It comes sprung for a 160 pound rider. Having said that, the only YamaLink we make for the 05 YZ250 two stroke has too much leverage for a full throttle 200 pound rider. We do NOT recommend it for you.

The RACE YamaLink unfortunately does not fit your 2005. Only 2006 and newer. I know it sounds odd for the seller of a product to not recommend our lowering link, but in our many years of doing this we know 100% that our 1.5 inch lowering kit is too much for your needs. It'd make the YZ wallow, bottom and ride poorly.
