Eric's 2010 YZ2250F supermoto Yamaha lowering question

Eric asks "I'm setting up my 2010 YZ250F for supermoto and was wondering which YamaLink you recommend?"

Our reply: It's purely personal. Most lightweight 'moto riders go for the 1.5 since the extra leverage allows them to properly utilize the stock spring's recommended sag settings. But heavier riders may find the 1.5 wallows too much, thus the 1 inch YamaLink option.

John's WR250R with YamaLink lowering and D606

John writes "Changed to d606 tires, rear of wr250r raised an inch, front stayed same. Do you need to lower forks with yamalink, install or will geometry be back to normal with rear lowered an inch with yamalink, since rear is up an inch now? Hope this Question makes sense."

And we replied "Our recommendations with a YamaLink is to raise the forks in the triple clamps 12mm as a starting point and then adjust up or down based on personal preference."

Charley's Yamaha WR450 YamaLink lowering link question

"The web site states that it will lower my bike 2", one by lowering the stock spring 1" an 1" from the yamalink. I have searched the web and can find no reference to a 1" adjustment to the stock spring. Can you please explain the adjustment for the stock spring?"

Our reply: You're looking at the wrong YamaLink. The 1" + 1" is for the WR250r and WR250x.

Steve's 2012 YZ 125 lowering for his son and the YamaLink

Hello, I am picking up a 2012 yz 125 for my son and would like to lower it using your link. Since the bike was used by a 150lb rider I will also need to buy new springs for it. He weighs 100lbs without gear on, is 5’ 3”. He is an advance motocross rider on 85’s and supermini’s, hasn’t ridden a 125 yet. The Racetech guidelines are recommending a rear shock spring of 4.2 and front springs .38.

With the yamalink should I get a heavier rear spring, in your advertisement it says 10% but is that only for over 170lbs? I want to lower it as much as possible and have 4 inches of race sag.

Our reply: Steven, Hello. My 13 year old nephew is the same height, weight and ability as your son. He recently started riding a YZ125 while still riding his Super Mini and 85. At first he put on the 1.5 with a lighter spring, but eventually went to the stock spring and the 1.5 YamaLink. Today he is on the YZ RACE.

My recommendation for 99% of lightweight YZ 125 riders is to consider a lighter spring, but for the 1% of kids like your son and my nephew I say try the stock spring first (the too-heavy one) and reset sag and go in clockwise on the high-speed compression (the big knob atop the shock, not the flat blade) in 1/3 turn increments until the bike handles big g-outs and flat landings.

My 16 year nephew weighs 140 and races local pro, borrowing (stealing) his little brother's YZ for Schoolboy when his own KX450 is tore apart. He ran the stock spring and the 1.5 for a few months, and loved it but said he'd probably go to a slightly heavier spring. But since the bike has the RACE YamaLink on they have zero issues....and they're not just saying that cuz I'm their uncle. Dang kids!

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions.
