Our reply: Absolutely not. That is a total disaster. The stock spring is too soft for 200 pounds and the leverage with the YamaLink makes it exponentially worse. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Alan weighs 200 pounds and wants to lower his 2004 YZ450F
John wants to lower a 2005 WR250F, what other parts are required?
John, total cost for a 2005 WR250F YamaLink is $160 USD and that includes priority mail delivery in the US.
Some riders need a heavier spring due to rider weight + YamaLink leverage. In addition to the information found on the WRF page - "We recommend a 15% heavier spring - unless you're a lightweight - due to extra leverage" - more
info can be found HERE.
The 2005 WR250F is sprung from the factory for a 155 pound rider. We do not sell the springs. Dealers or online vendors are the usual sources.

Craigs asks if we can lower a TTR225
No, every yamalink we make is listed on the website. We do have a TTR230 lowering link (not that it helps you, sorry).
Lowering the YZ250X with a YamaLink other than the RACE version
Yes, the YZ250X fits this #1 link: HERE
We don't have it listed because every YZ250X rider usually buys the #2 YamaLink RACE.
