Yoshimura Releases Yamaha R7 Suspension Linkage Kit

CHINO, CA – December 22, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – OEM linkage is designed for street and 2-up riding, low ratio, high progression. Engineering the Yamaha R7 to be more stable at the higher speeds for racing is crucial. So we enlisted a world renowned suspension/chassis engineer to get the R7 right for racing.

Our suspension link system works by modifying the linkage ratio and progression with a higher ratio and adds more linear progression. This set up is designed to work well with the stock OEM R7 front end.

This link is designed for enthusiast track days and professional racing.

When combined with Yoshimura Swingarm Pivot Kit part #400BG137200, above benefits can be maximized even further
