Hi folks- new to forum and NZ, and getting back into dirt bikes after a couple of decades... Just bought a 2008 YZ450F. Have ordered some parts to help smooth it out for trails (heavy flywheel, 52 rear sprocket), but at 170 cm finding it a bit tall. Looking into a lowering link (Devol) and raising forks a bit, or having the suspension reworked/lowered, which I understand can be done with some internal spacers. I don't mind wrenching myself, but don't have much experience working on suspension.

Looking for recommendations on NZ shops that can either supply parts and shorten springs, or do all the work for me. I am around 70kg and finding stock rear feels good once I set sag (108mm currently), but front maybe a bit stiff. Not sure if previous owner resprung...

I am in Kaitaia, Far North.

Thanks, Rick
