Default YZ2 Spares?

Hey guys, haven't owned a yok for around 15 years since my MR4TC back in the day <3

Now very, very tempted by the YZ2 CA and I'm 99% sure that the order will be in place this evening, just wondering if there's any recommendations on common spares.....wishbones and hubs I'm guessing?!?

Ta much in advance

Rear wishbones, rear hinge pins, front plastic bulkhead are common bits to go.

Don't go too mad, if there are yok drivers at your local track they will probably help you out.

Jim breaks rear wishbones for fun. I've done maybe one, and never a front bulkhead? I'd say get spare plastic ball ends, and rear hubs, if you don't intend to upgrade to the alloy hubs. I've seen ball studs rip out of the plastic hubs. I replace the topshaft bearings with higher quality ones from new, and I'd keep a spare idler gear, as the one against topshaft wears. oh CA kit has the new larger idler, so no experience of how that wears as yet.

Haha you just don't go fast enough to break them Neal. There were two people who did rear wish bones on Sunday so I can't be too wrong.

Yes rear hubs too unless you're upgrading to alloy. If you upgrade the bearings to Avid and they'll last for ages
