Brad asks for a little help setting sag on WR250R WR250X lowering link YamaLink

Brad, The YamaLink comes with super easy to follow install instructions. Here is a copy/paste of the fine tuning:

RESET SAG to factory spec. Most settle at 3.25 inches. If you feel the rear is too soft, turn in the compression just a little bit & rebound in 1 or 2 clicks. Fine-tune based on terrain, personal preference, etc. Combined with the stock .9 inch lowering option via the shock block (http://www.wrrdualsport.com/tech-guide/suspension/115-lowering-r2), the YamaLink lowers the rear suspension an additional inch.

IMPORTANT! Slide the fork tubes UP in the triple clamps - start at around 12mm & adjust based on preference. FYI, 18mm is the MAX you should go. Re-torque the upper fork clamp bolts to 17ft. lbs. & the lower clamp bolts to 14ft. lbs. And don't forget to properly tighten the chain before riding.

Larry's Yamaha WR250R WR250X lowering link install question

Larry from Florida writes "Just got my link. Watched the install movie and looks simple except for, is the bike sitting on ground or unloaded????"

Our reply: I find it much easier to put the WR on a stand or box. But a few do it with the bike on the ground.

Steve from Tucson's 2003 Yamaha WR250F YamaLink lowering link

I received the YamaLink and installed as per your advise & instruction. We went riding yesterday and it work perfectly. It was a joy to ride & not have to worry about finding a high spot to ensure my balance. The performance while riding seemed just as it was before. Thanks for taking the time to help me understand how it would work and for the great product. It was worth every penny. Regards, Steve 2003 WR 250F

RacerX 2014 Yamaha YZ450F Dean Wilson

2014 Yamaha YZ450 rumor and news: Jason Thomas said he heard from a good source that Yamaha is telling Wilson that any reservations he has about the backward-engine YZ450F can be eased by a new model coming out for 2014 and one that he could potentially ride 2013 outdoors if they can get it homologated fast enough. So the big question is if this is enough to ease Wilson’s mind on the Yamaha, which is quickly proving that perception is reality. I don’t believe the machine is the best one out there, but it’s also not the worst bike ever and a career-killer like others have made it out to be. Truthfully, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
