A test ride evaluated dropping the Yamaha WR125R's 875mm seat height to 805mm using a lowering seat and lowering link kit together. Two testers at 172cm and 156cm both reported a big boost in flat-footed confidence. However, the altered link ratio reduces rear suspension stroke, making the bike feel firmer and closer to bottoming out over bumps.
