spring rate for Yamaha?
Someone asked which spring rate calculator they should use to figure out the sag for the stock setting and the new spring rate with the extra 10% leverage of the 1.5 inch YamaLink (example: if you weigh 180 add 18 pounds, if you weigh 220 add 22 pounds, etc.)
There are a few online and we use this one: Click HERE

Doug's new YZ250 lowered with suspension link
Doug sent us a pic of his new YZ 250 which is waiting on the new YamaLink. Enjoy!
2007 Yamaha WR450 lowering link email of the day
I have a 2007 WR450f and would like to know what a good spring rate would be for my weight being 73kg. Also can I raise my fork tubes? I am 169cm tall and would really like to get my feet down for single track.
Cheers,

Hi. 73kg is about 160 pounds and that is fine with the stock spring. The install instructions will tell you to RESET sag as being the #1 most important aspect. Light or slow riders reset sag to 100mm which is where a completely stock Yamaha WRF rear sag is set (give or take a few mm).
More aggressive riders can set rear sag to about 94mm.
Here is a good picture tutorial on setting sag: http://www.tootechracing.com/suspension_tips.htm
Then you have options to dial in the high speed compression (the big knob atop the rear shock, not the flat blade).
The install instructions will also tell you to slide the fork tubes UP at least 4mm and then fine tune based on personal preference.
