Michael's 2016 WR250F lowering question

Mike asks "I’m getting ready to order a yamalink to lower my 2016 WR250F. Your website mentioned riders over a certain weight may need a new rear spring. I’ve been looking at racetech (and other sites) for a spring, but I wondered if you sell them, or if you’d recommend a supplier that would work better in concert with the yamalink."

Our reply: Michael, hello. We don't sell springs, and we don't have a preference for a spring manufacturer. As for the YamaLink, if you go with the Short/RACE version for the 2016 WR250F (lowers it half amount of Trail), most at your weight simply reset sag and don't need a heavier spring. But if you went up one spring rate it would be good. If you went for the Long/Trail YamaLink which lowers your 2016 WR250F rear 1.25 inches, then definitely go up at least one spring rate rate, then reset sag. The included instructions are easy to follow and give guidelines for sag and then the front forks.
