Yamaha Lowering Link: WR250R and X YamaLink is on the way!

From the website:

May 17 update (okay, we jumped the gun because 5-17 isn't for another 43 minutes): The testing and YamaLink fitting of the cool yet unbelievably-tall 250R and X is complete. So what's it gonna be when we fire up the CNC machine this Monday? Based on rider feedback and what we feel is the maximum the 250R/X should be lowered, the YamaLink will complement the factory one inch lowering with its own 1.25 lowering of the rear. It will have a grease zerk, shiny blue anodizing, bearings and seals, and will cost $145. Figure in a week of machining and two days for anodizing. We'll update you on any changes, of course.

Thanks guys! I've been riding my new R on tippy toes for a couple of weeks - it will be nice to feel the ground again. When can I place my order?

Kathy,

We'll have the bearings and seals waiting for the actual link to be complete, and the anodizer has never been more than 2 days. We're excited too, but have learned to be patient. Shipping will be priority mail so that kinda helps speed things up!
