TTR 230 lowering question from Marcus

Marcus writes "I just ordered your lowering link for a 2005 TTR 230. If I also raise the forks up in the triple clamps, will the kickstand be too long? Can it be replaced with a shorter kickstand from another/smaller model of bike?"

Our reply: About 99% of TTR230 YamaLink owners simply turn their handlebar to the left and are mindful the bike sits a little higher up. We've never heard of an owner cutting & rewelding the sidestand like some other Yamaha YamaLink owners do.

Frank's WR250X lowering with yamalink question

I just recently purchased a 2008 Yamaha wr250x and am looking to lower it to better accommodate my height. I am rather short at 5'7" and i have already added a lower seat and can now tippy toe the bike but I would like to lower it some more in hopes that I will be able to flat foot the bike.

My question is does your Yamalink work in conjunction with doing the stock rear lowering adjustment as well as the stock front lowering adjustments? Or should I just pick one method or the other? If it does work with the stock lowering adjustments do you have instructions on how to do so? I notice that your install video only shows how to install the YamaLink and that is it.

Our reply.....Frank, Hello. We made the YamaLink to work specifically with the stock lowering, and the instructions that come with it give suggestions for bike setup with and without stock lowering if you choose to use just the YamaLink, but about 99% use the stock lowering option, too.

yamalink 2015 yz250fx question of the day lowering and answer

Kent writes "I bought a lowering link from you and was wondering what changes it will have to the handling of my bike?"

Our reply: If the instructions are followed and sag is reset & properly sprung then your 2015 YZ250FX will get better traction, turn better, absorb square edge and braking bumps tremendously easier. It will NOT wallow or understeer or bottom or turn slower if all the aforementioned are read and set up per the included recommendations.
