Given the layshaft is made of the hardened alloy similar to the bmax2 idlers, I'd suggest that running plastic idlers was a better solution.

The reason the original bmax2 plastic idlers went was due to gearbox casing flex, which was fixed in a later revision of the gearbox moulding. Also due to excessive wear in the layshaft bearing if not checked regularly.

At the moment the YZ-2 looks to be far better in this area.
Thanks for the explanation
