Leo's 2010 Yamaha WR250F YamaLink spring rate

Leo asks "Being a newbie to dirt bikes, and I’m struggling with the height of my WR250F. I’m 77kgs - 5ft7 & can only put a toe on the ground when sitting on my bike. I’ve read good feedback about your product, but could you please clarify for me: “When you install a YamaLink we recommend a 10% heavier spring if you weigh close to 175/77kg.” Does this mean I need to also purchase a new spring to be installed? Or is this something that can be dialed in on the rear shock?"

Leo, you definitely need a heavier spring. Stock is a 4.7kg and we recommend 5.3kg for your weight and a YamaLink.
