Our reply: Set your race sag to 94mm - 90mm and turn the high speed compression knob in clockwise half a revolution. Don't even touch the flat blade. At 75kg (165 pounds) you are totally fine with the stock spring if the shock has not been revalved.

Chris from Australia has lowering link shock setup question WR426
Yamalink works great. Lowered a fair bit and now i can handle the wr426 a lot better. Brought front forks up 3mm and its tops. Only thing is the suspension is a tad soft now. I did notice that you say to get a 10% heavier spring to account for this but im finding it difficult to read the sprig rates. Can you give me a hand in selecting a spring? I have no issues installing it myself.
Rear spring rate for 2004 WR450F with YamaLink lowering
Our reply to a YamaLink customer about which spring rate for his 185 pound weight.
Answer: A 2004 WR450F with a 205 pound rider weight (10% factored in) would get a 5.8 kg/mm spring.
Your dealer or any company like Race Tech, Factory Connection, etc. There are a handful online or mailorder who sells springs for pretty much every bike. If you're in between spring rates after figuring out body weight + 10% we recommend going for the higher spring rate. Example: you now need a 6.1 but the spring rates are only 6.0 and 6.2 kg/mm, get the 6.2 spring

How to turn Jeff's rear shock spring for the 2004 WR450 lowering link setup
Jeff from Nevada asked for some setup advice on his 2004 Yamaha WR450F suspension. Our reply....
"I always use my hand to turn the shock spring. One side of your bike will be
easier than the other to slip your hands in. Make sure the threads are
cleaned and maybe put some lube on the threads so the spring turns easier.
One complete revolution is about 2mm. Six mm is .25 inches."
