Yamaha YZ lowering link comment of the day: YamaLink

YamaLink's Thanksgiving Yamaha suspension comment of the day:

I'm a short guy at 5'7" and I probably won't ever be an "A" class rider so having a lowered bike is worth its weight in gold. Confidence on the bike is key as you guys already know...these links are a must have for us short riders.

YamaLink suspension link shipping

Someone asked "why do we NOT send their Yamaha WR or YZ lowering link via Global Priority at $12.95 instead of the $26.63 Express International."

If you choose Global Priority and your YamaLink is lost WE WILL NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY. REREAD THAT SENTENCE. Delivery can be anywhere from 10 - 21 days, there is NO online tracking & some countries will "lose" your hard earned money and Yamaha suspension link. REPEAT: because we cannot track the YamaLink nor insure it we do NOT send via Global Priority. But if you absolutely want Global Priority let us know & we will refund the Express Mail difference ($26.63 - $12.95). REPEAT: we are not liable for lost Global shipments.

Non-US orders go via International Express at $26.63. Average delivery is 6 days, you get online tracking & it's the most trustworthy option to every country (Canada, Mexico & Italy are notorious for losing packages but NOT with Express because everyone can track it). We have never lost a YamaLink with Express.

Yamaha suspension lowering sag question

From Yamaha YZ rider David.... "How much do shock springs cost?"

Rear shock springs retail about $110. What is your sag setting? If you have wrong springs you more than likely will not be able to achieve the ballpark range of race sag. Too much sag and you are riding too far into the travel's progression, and you have less overall net travel to suspend you for the big hit. And the bike is riding more "rude" at slower speeds because you are so far into the travel that the bike will behave as if you are going faster and/or hitting a much larger object than you really are.

Conversely, too little sag and the rear wheel will skip and dance around on the smaller stuff and that will beat your butt, too, in addition to not getting proper traction and inefficient turning.

Properly sprung. Properly set sag.

WR450 Yamaha lowering link question of the day

James had a question about his Yamaha WR YamaLink:

"Do I need to grease it after install or after use?"

Reply: James, we send every YamaLink out with molybdenum grease packed, smushed and coated in every bearing. Testing has showed that it's good for a minimum of two years.

Yamaha WR250 lowering email of the day

From another Jeff....

It was a snap to put in although everything takes me 3 times as long as I just gotta study everything 6 times over before proceeding. (Would have liked to keep the YamaLink on the coffee table to look at for a week just cause it is so pretty.)

Great instructions included that you can actually read as oppose to so many after market instructions that look like they have been copied 30 times over on a copy machine in Asia. Took the bike for a short spin through the woods after installing the YamaLink and was very pleased. I can highly recommend your YamaLink. Respectfully, Jeff
