I use 13 gauge OK, but have also used 14 gauge without issues. The late Derek Bradby told me not to use 12 gauge and to use 14 instead. Said it was a tip from Mike Reedy to make a car less aggressive. So basically 14gauge has a little higher resistance but it helps calm a car down.
Actually I checked, used 14 on my yz2 and 13 on my yz4.
