From our Yamaha YZ 250 lowering link rider up North.....
Installed your product this weekend. Very nice fit and finish.
Bike was originally set up to run GNCC by a friend of mine - he was lured away from the Yamaha by a KTM with E start so he never really got to race it.
He'd spent a fair amount of effort on the suspension - sent everything off
to LGS for a revalve and respring. He's about 10 lbs lighter than I am and 2 inches longer in the legs.
Installed the Link and the Bike sank out of sight - reset the sag, 30mm
static - 100 race this bounced the bike back up a little but it now fits
great - no more looking for a tree to kickstart or doing the big leanover -
Trail tech kickstand still works fine.
The original set up of the bike although fine for him was beating the hell
out of me - kicking horse rear and washing out fluttery front, constant
struggle to keep from breaking over on tight turns.
The YamaLink took a race suspension set up for fairly hardcore competitive rider and civilized it nicely.
Forks were slid up 8mm - I now have a nice tracking highly compliant woods bike. Front sticks hard and the first to break loose is the rear. I think
I'll be able to improve the rear with a little air pressure drop in the tire
and more prudent throttle control.
All in all, great product - thank you very much.
