Craigs asks if we can lower a TTR225

DO YOU MAKE A LOWERING LINK FOR MY 2003 TTR225, thanks, Craig

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

Savannah writes "ID LIKE TO ODER A LOWERING LINK FOR A 2016 YZ250X 2 STROKE, I WAS LOOKING AT THE YZ LINK #1 BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS FOR THE 250X BC IT DIDNT SAY ON THE WEBSITE,IF IT DOES FIT CAN I PLACE ONE ON ORDER AND ANY COLOR THAT YOU HAVE IN STOCK IS FINE."

Yes, the YZ250X fits this #1 link: HERE

We don't have it listed because every YZ250X rider usually buys the #2 YamaLink RACE.

Wait, another YamaLink question of the day about lowering 2014 and 2016 YZ250F

Brian writes "We purchased the 'Race' lowering link for the 2014 yz250f a few years ago. Love it!!!!! Recently got a new 2016 yz250f, noticed it comes with different suspension, like a 5.4 (2016) rear shock instead of the 5.7 (2014). Will the Yamalink we already have still work on the new bike?"

Our reply: You will need to readjust sag and fine tune the compression and rebound after install due to slight differences between the 14 and 16, but the holes fit both bikes.

Question of the day: Can the Yamaha lowering link from a Yz250F fit a new 2016 YZ250FX?

No, you cannot. The bearings and seals and pivot pin are completely different between the 2012 YZ250F and 2016 YZ250FX YamaLinks.

Spring rates lowering 2006 YZ125 with YamaLink

A customer asked us about spring rates for her 2006 YZ125. Here's full scoop....

A 2006 YZ125 has a stock spring rate of 4.7KG
At 180 pounds BEFORE a YamaLink the bike needs a 5.0kg to achieve proper sag.
WITH a YamaLink a 2006 YZ125 and a 180 pound rider needs a spring rate of 5.4 KG.

Which YamaLink to lower the YZ450FX Yamaha?

Here's our reply to a dealer back east about which Yamaha YZ450FX lowering link he should get for a customer.

The Trail YamaLink lowers it about 1.25 inches after you reset sag and are properly resprung.

The RACE version lowers it half that much, and doesn't have as much leverage so spring rate isn't as crucial. Most just reset sag and fine tune according to our simple to follow instructions.

But your rider needs to be properly sprung with or without a YamaLink. With the 1.25" version many go up for the 10% increase in leverage and for the RACE version most don't go up unless they're on the border of needing a heavier spring with the stock setup.

As for which one we can't say. That's why we make two versions because everyone has different needs. Purely subjective. I'd go with the RACE version because hare scramble riders appreciate the extra plushness on the braking bumps and ruts that always hammer them senseless hours into the event.

Snowbike Fork Bottoming Kit

"Snowbike fork bottoming out!" That's the #1 Google result for snowbike suspension...or lack of. Anyone who rides aggressively cringes when launching even a mid-size jump because the landing is gonna feel like you came up short on a SX triple aboard a Harley cruiser. Raise your hand if you know a snowbike rider who bottomed so hard they bent the lower fork tubes. Yep, thought so.
