Bobby's 2014 Yamaha YZ250 lowering link question

2014 YZF250 rider Bobby had a question about the YamaLink Race (the 1 inch kit) and the 1.5" YamaLink, and using it with the stock spring versus a heavier spring rate to achieve proper sag.

"I weigh 215 and am 5.4. At 57 years old I really like the 1.5 lower option, but just wanted your opinion, if with my weight the 1" option might work better. Any thoughts and Thank you for your response."

At 215 pounds without gear you need a much heavier spring with the stock setup. Add a YamaLink and the extra leverage requires an even heavier spring.

The stock spring is made for a 160 pound rider to achieve proper sag of approximately 100mm.

Without YamaLink: get spring rate for 215 pound rider.

With YamaLink: get spring rate for 240 pound rider.
