What spring rate for 2002 YZ426F lowering?

Caller just asked what spring rate his 2002 YZ426F needs with our YamaLink? Stock spring rate is 5.4kg, and at his weight of 220 before gear he needs a 6.4 kg spring with a YamaLink to achieve proper sag and great handling.

Shipping Yamaha WR250R lowering link outside US? Of course

Email just came in, and we thought it was worth posting just in case someone else had an issue. Although we ship to Australia and New Zealand (and every other country except a few) everyday, if one person has an issue it's worth looking at.

"Hi. Just tried to buy a lowering link off your website but it doesn't allow for shipping adders outside USA. Can you let me know if you ship to New Zealand and how much total? Thanks."

Dan's 2012 WR450F lowering and fork height question with YamaLink

I understand that your link will lower the rear of the bike 1.5 inches, need to reset sag, re-spring, etc. With the rear lowered do you recommend moving the front forks up an equivalent distance in order to retain good steering geometry? I don’t anticipate a re-spring of the shock, since i’m significantly lighter than the typical 160 lb rider (145 lb).

Our reply: The 2012 WR450F YamaLink comes with super easy to follow instructions that cover everything from fork height adjustments to rebound & compression fine tuning in addition to the resetting of sag.

Richard's 2014 WR450F lowering and spring for 130 pound rider

I got my yamalink today thanks for the fast shipment. I am a smaller 130lb rider with a 2014 wr450 do you think I should re-spring? The directions are clear for 160lb and up but I am not sure about being 30lbs less factor. Stock spring seems heavy enough even with the 10% leverage increase. Could you clarify?

At 130 pounds I would stick with the stock spring. But reset sag at 100mm and if that is too soft set it at 96mm. Then follow instructions for the high-speed compression and rebound fine tuning of the rear shock. Then raise the fork tubes UP a few millimeters based on where your final rear sag setting is.

2001 YZ250F lowering vs 2002 YZ250F lowering

I have an 01 YZ250F and I want to order a lowering link. The problem is the ranges are 1998-01 and 2002-04. I thought the 01 and 02 YZ250F were practically the same bike. Which one should I order?

The 98-01 YamaLink is different than the 02-04. If you have a 2001 then order the 98-01, NOT the 02+ newer.
