New WR250R

Hello everyone. This is my first post and I'm enjoying the site. I just purchased a 09 model and my first mod is lowering it. Having trouble finding a lowering kit. Hope someone here can help. Thanks in advance.

There.... YAMALINK

oh ya.. welcome!

You can also lower the stock height on the rear shock by almost an inch. I can't find a good link to a walk-through on this--guess I may need to write one for www.wrrdualsport.com , eh?

If you're confident mechanically, basically you unbolt the clevis on the bottom of the shock. You thread the large nut UP to the bottom of the black rubber clicker. Chase the clevis up to the nut, align so you can reinsert the bolt, and tighten the bolt down onto the clevis. Make sense?

edit:: Bike on center lift, and use a jack under the back wheel to help with putting back together.

There is a vid on how to do it on the Yamalink site Gary left in his post. Gotta love it when a freshie's first attack is doing mods.

Good link here:

When I use this link, the photos (which are very good) don't come up for me. If anyone knows a solution for this, please post it. Thanks.
