Question of day: 175 pound motocrosser with YamaLink on 2004 YZ250F

Rider is 175 pounds WITHOUT gear. He races motocross on a 2004 YZ250F. Currently using stock spring and it is obviously bottoming with a YamaLink due to the extra leverage and NOT being resprung. The caller/rider wanted to know what spring rate to use. Stock spring rate is 4.7kg. At 175 pound before a YamaLink it is recommended to use a 5.3kg for MX racing at his weight. With a YamaLink at 175 pounds - and using the YZ250 four stroke in aggressive racing - it is recommended to use a 5.8 kg spring and then RESET sag to about 100mm and fine tune based on personal preference.

Dave asks about the 2013 YZ250F YamaLink lowering kit: is it in stock?

"Hi do u have the 1.5 lowering link in stock for a 2013 yz 250f thank you, dave"

Hello. Our website shows the 2013 YZ250F 1.5 YamaLink is indeed in stock.

Doug asks about lowering a 2009 WR450F and spring rate for 200 pound rider with YamaLink

"What spring do you suggest for a 200 lb rider on 09 WR450 with the link? Thanks, Doug"

If he's an honest 200 pounds WITHOUT gear put a 6.1kg or closest with a YamaLink and then readjust sag. Given the decision for a 6.0 or 6.2 always go with the heavier spring with a YamaLink. FYI, at 200 pounds without gear and withOUT a YamaLink your customer needs a 5.8kg on a WR450 for proper sag.

How much can I lower the WR450F and do you ship to Australia?

"How you going, I have a WR450F 09/2011 plated but it’s the first of the fuel injection model should I order a 2012 model link and how much will this lower the bike. Just one last question do you ship to AU."

Zach writes: I race motocross and I´m 5´3 and weigh about 105 pounds. I have the correct springs in my bike for my weight. I was wondering which link you recommended for me, the traditional link or the race link?

Hi. At 105 pounds the 1.5" YamaLink is what many of our shorter and lighter MX racers use....but they are using the STOCK spring. With the stock spring at your weight obviously race sag can't be achieved because you are too light, but with the YamaLink 1.5 leverage it is spot on perfect!

If you have a spring rate on now for a 105 pound rider the shorter YZ Race YamaLink is what we recommend.
