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 setup is designed to work well with the stock OEM R7 front end.

This link can be used for street riding but it specifically designed for solo track riding or aggressive canyon riding.

When combined with Yoshimura Swingarm Pivot Kit (part# 450BG137200), above benefits can be maximized even further.

    Riley C. ★★★★★

    I was skeptical about changing the stock linkage, but this kit really transformed how the R7 handles at track days. The lower ratio makes corner entry feel much more planted and predictable. Definitely worth the upgrade for anyone serious about racing.

    Olivia ★★★★★

    The higher progression completely changes how the bike settles into corners, and it feels far more planted when I'm pushing hard on track. It was a straightforward swap and worth every penny for the added stability.

    Elizabeth S. ★★★★★

    Swapped the OEM linkage out before my first race weekend and the difference in rear stability at speed is obvious. The higher progression ratio keeps the back end planted where the stock setup felt vague. Install was straightforward with basic tools.
