Pat's 2006 Yamaha YZ450 lowering link update

Hi, I have been out on technical trails with the 06 YZ450F suspension lowering link a few times now and it works great, very plush and it keeps the rear wheel hooked up well, the grease zerks are also a big plus. Best regards, Pat

Jesse's girlfriend's Yamaha TTR230 lowering link question

Aussie rider Jesse writes "My girlfriend has a ttr230, she doesn’t feel comfortable with the height & wants it lowered. I need to confirm your lowering link will do the job, & if adjusting the sag etc is going to be necessary. Also this link would do the rear of the bike? Would you recommend bringing the forks up half an inch in the triple clamps to balance the lowering? We are in Australia, can’t seem to find this part anywhere else, and are very keen on purchasing if it will do the job."

Our reply: If your TTR230 is 2005 or newer the YamaLink will do the job. We recommend sliding the forks UP in the triple clamps 10mm and then adjust up or down a few millimeters either way for your girlfriend's personal preference.

Travis' 2002 2003 2004 YZ250 lowering link kit YamaLink question

Travis owns a 2002-2004 YZ and writes "I got the link super fast and the install was a piece of cake. I'm on a 250 and I was only able to raise the forks maybe 5mm until it was close to the bars. I got the sag set and haven't been out for a test run yet cause I wanted some advice first. If I need more steering input is there anything I can do to the front shock set up to compensate for the lower rear? That way when I'm in the trails I can do some trial and error. Also I weigh 155."

Our reply: There is no 1:1 ratio of fork & rear change. Five millimeter may be more than you actually need. Raising the forks is not for lowering the front end, per say, it is more to "balance" the geometry. I'd set your sag at 94mm and turn the high-speed compression (the big knob) in clockwise 1/4 turn. Also turn your rebound in 1 or 2 clicks. Simply follow the instructions.

Will's 1998-2001 YZ250F YZ400 YZ426 lowering kit spring rate

In response to Will's question about spring rates for his Yamaha YZF and using a lowering kit: "Be sure to factor in the YamaLink's extra 10% leverage into your weight. Example: If you are 200 pounds get a spring for a 220 rider, etc. If you are in-between spring sizes go for the heavier one with a YamaLink."
