Why would you want to do that when I suspect you may be able to buy a used MX machine that weighs about 80 lbs lighter for close to the same coin.

If yer gunna rid the WrR in hevvy mx donut spend any $$ on it now save your $$ for repares!!!

i just think it would be cool as hell to follow my buddys to the track with ther mx bikes in the back of their trucks,than i will just ride up on the wr and spank them on the track than ride it home, i got a crf250r i race with a big bore kit but i think i can make this bike competitive.

That's funny on several levels!  

I ride my wrr on mx tracks quite often... I race the local scramble series and 1/2 the races include mx tracks.

I have my suspension revalved for woods riding and dont have the recommended stiffer fork springs I need for my weight, I bottom the forks on larger jumps and when I dont land rear tire first but the shock works very well, I havent noticed it bottom yet. Considering the bikes setup for woods stuff it works quite well, once I get my lazy butt in gear and get the right fork springs it will handle jumps quite well.

If you get the suspension revalved for mx it will work well on the track but may beat you up every wheres else, which is why mines setup for woods riding where I spend most of my time.

You are a better man than me. If I am going to be off-road all day I will just take my 2001 GasGas XC250 since it is so much lighter and has off road tires. I bought the bike used for less that what I will be spending to revalve and respring the WRR suspension.

I just got my q4, megubomb and tuner on order I wont to do every thing at once, btw when I had the place were I bought the bike lower it they told me I needed a lowering link so I payed them 180.00$ for this thing. when I asked them for my old part they told me they could not find it. So I put two and two together and realised they just flipped my stock link and charged me for a new one.So of cours I am going to rase hell and get my $ back but this is my question would it be better to leave it fliped or should I put it back in the original position and buy that nice blue yamalink.

Can you post a picture of this flipped link?

ok I am a dum$#@ its black I would bet the stock one would be just silver.

Your better off with the stock link unless you can't touch the ground.
