New YZ 125 and YZ 250 suspension lower link

It's coming! Next week. A race-inspired suspension lowering link for the two stroke 125 and 250. We've tested, used and utterly hammered the prototypes and just this weekend decided on the final lowering amount/leverage that a racer needs & wants on the Yamaha YZ two stroke. There is no spring to swingarm contact and there is no excessive geometry change. What there is will be lots of rut eating, braking bump swallowing and start line traction increase.

Yamaha wr250r wr250x 1 inch lowering from the factory

Seems a few dealers are not telling customers they can lower the Yamaha WR250R and WR250X (or former owners if selling the bike used) about 1 inch via the lower shock mount. Here is a refresher on the best tutorial EVER put on the internet. It is much easier than the already-easy guide (it is about a 10 minute job):

YZ 125 lowering and what to do with the front forks

As for the front: our super simple install instructions gives a starting point and some guidelines for raising the front forks based on personal preference and final rear sag setting. There is no 1:1 ratio since changes to rake/trail affect the geometry at a different rate than changes to the rear suspension. After lowering the YZ 125 suspension in the rear we recommend a starting point of about 4mm when sliding the fork tubes up in the triple clamps.
