From a ThumperTalk forum member...
"The link arrived yesterday. It's beautiful! Almost too beautiful to mount where it can get scuffed and scratched. I should have ordered a couple, one to use and one to just have as a paperweight on my desk."

What about the WR450 lowering link?
Antonio had a quick question about his WR 450F lowering link:
"hi i have, a 06 wr 450? i dont see wr listed?"
Here you go: HERE
And to save anyone from sending an email, that is a ML2 Racing yamaha lowering link in black (which we do not sell anymore) and with different engraving than the 2011 version.
Yamaha YZ suspension lowering email of the weekend
From Kevin, a Yamaha YZ suspension lowering rider....
After install, grease the zerk fittings or are they already greased?
Our reply....
I pack about 2 years worth of grease into each bearing before shipping.

Yamaha WR 250 suspension lowering YamaLink
From Yamaha WR250R rider Josh.....
The istall was pretty simple. The only "problem" I had was removing the stock link, I had to tap it out with a rubber mallet. I had already raised the forks a bit higher (in anticipation of the YamaLink) when I did the stock lowering and the sag was just under 100mm so I think I'm ok there.
Combined with the stocker ~1" lowering there is a noticeable drop in height, much more comfortable. I took it out for a quick 15 mile ride and I felt much more confident on the bike. I checked the torque on the bolts again after the ride and everything was still nice and tight
One question I do have is about the kickstand. It seems that with both the YamaLink and the stock lowering that the kickstand is a bit too long. Do you have any recommendations on a new kickstand?
Thanks,
Josh

Josh,
Good to hear the YamaLink made it. As far as the kickstand 99% just leave it as-is and turn their handlebar to the left and kick the kickstand out to the left.
A few have cut the stand and re-welded the foot back on. I don't think anyone makes a shorter kickstand for the R.
