Jim writes: I have a 2005 wr250f. (steel frame) It handles really nicely at speed but when climbing the slow rocky or loose stuff in 1st gear it looses its line easily and wants to tip due to the top heaviness of the machine. Do you think the lowering link will help significantly with this issue on my bike ? Ideally do some folks get spacers in the front forks to go with the link to lower both ends the same ? I understand this is different than raising the forks in the clamps which changes the rake.
Our reply: Losing the line is a combination of lack of momentum and the rear tire not digging in. The extra leverage of the YamaLink will help tremendously if sag and spring rates are set properly.
I don't know of anyone who puts spacers in their forks. Travel is often decreased and the bike rides more rudely on the small bumps.
