Yamaha YZ lowering email of the day

From our Yamaha YZ 250 lowering link rider up North.....

Installed your product this weekend. Very nice fit and finish.

Bike was originally set up to run GNCC by a friend of mine - he was lured away from the Yamaha by a KTM with E start so he never really got to race it.

He'd spent a fair amount of effort on the suspension - sent everything off
to LGS for a revalve and respring. He's about 10 lbs lighter than I am and 2 inches longer in the legs.

Installed the Link and the Bike sank out of sight - reset the sag, 30mm
static - 100 race this bounced the bike back up a little but it now fits
great - no more looking for a tree to kickstart or doing the big leanover -
Trail tech kickstand still works fine.

The original set up of the bike although fine for him was beating the hell
out of me - kicking horse rear and washing out fluttery front, constant
struggle to keep from breaking over on tight turns.

The YamaLink took a race suspension set up for fairly hardcore competitive rider and civilized it nicely.

Forks were slid up 8mm - I now have a nice tracking highly compliant woods bike. Front sticks hard and the first to break loose is the rear. I think
I'll be able to improve the rear with a little air pressure drop in the tire
and more prudent throttle control.

All in all, great product - thank you very much.

Yamaha YZ lowering at Big Nasty Hillclimb



This weekend's Big Nasty Hillclimb will see some YamaLink action aboard a multi-time winner's Yamaha YZ450. He wanted to lower his crazy paddle tired monster motor extended swingarm YZ so of course we happily obliged.

Yamaha WR250R lowering shipping question

Another non-exciting Yamaha WR lowering link shipping question? Of course (5 riders have asked in the past 2 days so we figured.....).

Question: How much do you charge for overseas shipping, and do you charge extra above and beyond what your carrier charges?

Answer: $26.63 US is the actual cost of express international. It's the fastest
method. We do not charge one extra cent for "handling." Just actual
delivery. We used to ship via the $12 method but it took twice as long, and several packages were "lost" in the hands of curious customs officials who also had a side hobby of selling items that were "lost" in customs. Uh huh.

Express shipping tells overseas customs "hey, at least two people are watching this so don't stick it on your local classified ad or give it as a gift to your cousin MushMush.

Yamaha lowering link WR YZ WRF YZF

Thanks to the ham-fisted United States Postal Service destroying a priority mail package containing a Yamaha lowering link for a YZF, we will now be double-wrapping all shipments.

This morning we received what was left of the August 10 shipment - the label only! Took 7 days to notify us....the package should've been delivered 4 days ago.

So now we've attempted to contact the buyer to explain and apologize, and we'll be shipping overnight a new Yamaha YZ F lowering link.

Shipping prices will remain the same.
