Yamalink: Which 2015 WR250F lowering link? 1.5" or RACE?

Question of the day: I was looking at the options that you show for a 2015 WR250FF. I am not sure what the difference is between the "RACE" and 1.5" choices. I need a link for an intermediate B level rider in hare scrambles and enduros. He just purchased the bike and is barely able to tiptoe when sitting on the seat. I would appreciate your recommendation on which one to get and availability of your recommendation. Thank you for your time and knowledge.

For a B Level racer on the redesigned 2015 WR250F the YamaLink we recommend is the Race version.

Yamalink YZ250FX lowering officially in stock

The YamaLink 2015 YZ250FX was set for a 2015 January release, but the barrage of calls and emails (most from 250FX owners, a few from other link makers asking if our price would increase so their high prices wouldn't seem so crazy) kickstarted the release: HERE is the link to the link.

Your new YZ250FX is great, but it's tall and suspension can always be improved! We've added a grease zerk for quick bearing maintenance whether in the garage or at the races (some FX bearings are bone dry from the factory). Save money for riding, not replacing rusted bearings or broken levers from slow-speed tipovers! We made a small batch of blues and those sold out quickly. Black, though, is what most YZ250FX riders have been asking to ship.

YamaLink's YZ250FX lowering kit

Based on our YZ250F lowering link & tweaked for the FX's shock & 18" wheel, choose either the link for short, light riders (1.5" lowering) or the link for aggressive, heavier riders/racers (RACE, less than half). YamaLinks give more traction, faster corner speed & improve plushness over braking bumps, rocks & roots that cause rider fatigue. Click HERE for more info.
