Brian's 2012 YZ lowering question for his 125

Can you recommend anyone in the Washington DC area to install one of you're a lowering links on ma YZ 125 2012 model? Thanks for the help.

We cannot. The instructions that come with each YamaLink are super simple to follow, and any mechanic can do it easily. The most crucial part is resetting sag and being properly sprung for the YamaLink's extra leverage, otherwise the bike will handle poorly, bottom, understeer, etc:

John's 2013 Yamaha WR250R lowering link question

I purchased a 2013 Yamaha WR250R today. Your website indicates that your Yamalink with lower my bike by 2 inches (when combined with the factory lowering option.) I am unfamiliar with the factory lowering option. Do I need to install the factory lowering option before I install your Yamalink?

The factory lowering is on your bike. It's a simple procedure involving turning the shock clevis/block up toward the rebound knob.

Lowering a Yamaha TTR230 is completely different than a TTR125

Hello, I see that you make a lower link for the 230 model. Will this fit the 125? Different part? Thanks, LJ

Completely different.

Steve's 1999 WR400F lowering suspension question

Your product sounds perfect for lowering my ’99 WR400F. Would you have any additional suggestions for lowering the bike an additional ½ inch (more would be great)?

Steve, we used to make a 1.75" YamaLink for your bike, but the leverage was too great. Now it's a 1.5" YamaLink, and as our website states, resetting sag and being properly resprung for the 1.5" extra leverage is crucial in proper setup. Otherwise the bike will bottom easily and under steer: http://www.motorcycleloweringlinks.com/index.php?content=wr_lowering_yz_lowering_faqs
