Deuce Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hey Everyone, Not looking to start a big shindig over the yfz conversion... I know there is an entire ongoing thing about that. I just wanted to know before I go ahead and buy anything... Do I need yfz spindles to work with the yfz calipers? I want to run the 450 calipers for the added braking ability. I'm not going to go with YFZ arms, and plan instead on going with a set made for the banshee to ensure that its the strongest possible setup should I hit a mx track with it. Also if I need the yfz spindles, will running them mess with any of the steering geometry or mounting, or do the spindle locations all work out the same? Another thing I heard was that the 09+ yfz rear spindles will add a little extra width. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Awesome, that makes things easier and cheaper. Are there any shims/spacers needed to run the calipers? Also do you use the banshee rotor or does that need to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesrtoys Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 09+ yfz don't have rear spindles, its a straight axle design. And if you want the rear to be wider then just buy a longer axle. And if you plan on going on a MX track get a +2 axle seems to work the best for me, do not use wheel spacers either they are junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Oops... I did mean hubs, not spindles. I already have a lonestar Axle that is +1 to +3, putting me at 39" on the axle overall. I was just thinking about gaining a little additional width and that these may do it. I was just thinking along these lines because my 250R +4 axle measures in at around 41" Unless this extra width is not really necessary for the banshee handling. I just dont really ride tight woods with the banshee(have my warrior for that) and that I'm setting up the bike for more open trails/ fields/ mx. Kinda just an open ground play bike. Thanks for the link zilla... those are the ones I am talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
