Curt's 2008 Yamaha WR250R suspension lowering question: stiffer?

Curt's hometown mechanic gave some inaccurate information to him about lowering his WR250 (the R model). Here is our reply: The WR250R YamaLink does NOT make the rear suspension stiffer. The opposite: the extra leverage makes your rear shock more supple which helps the bike get better traction and cornering. No disrespect to the "professionals" you took it to, but they have no idea what they're talking about since they instructed you the end result would be the opposite of what the YamaLink actually does.

Nice writeup we just found HERE

John tells us "Hi, I just installed the Yamalink on my WR250R and it was a piece of cake. Installation took me less then 30 minutes. The only problem was I had no helper to hold the wheel up when putting it back together, so I used a ratcheting tie down strap, went through the wheel and up over the exhaust pipe and seat and used the ratchet to move the wheel to align the bolts. The bike feels a whole lot more user friendly now and the rear suspension feels way more plush. I will spread the word. Thanks for a quality product that works, John

Rich asks about Yamaha WR250R WR250X lowering

Rich asks "Hi. On your FAQ page you say 'We could've lowered the WR250 more, but extensive testing told us that 2 inches in the rear was the maximum & still get a balanced ride up front. More than 2" (1" from factory lowering & 1" from YamaLink) makes the WR250 ride like a chopper.' What is the "factory lowering" ???

Our reply: The WR250R and WR250X have a built-in 1 inch lowering by way of its lower shock mount.
