First YZ10

Post by transamman908 »

Got this off of epay over the weekend. I'm slowly get the Yok bug. These things are way cool. I plan on cleaning it up and possibly changing out the chassis for a nip compsite craft chassis and shock towers along with other new bits. Are the pink wheels standard on these? Also, is that top support a stock item or does that go with the rpm front bulkhead?

Pinkies were standard on the Jap versions, white for the US, at least for the 870/yz-10

Nice start- RPM bulkheads, wide front kit, Jammin top deck

Careful though, one will not be enough :lol:

that's a nice one!

fyi ... it's not a Jammin' top deck. Looks to be a homemade job that is certainly functional. Only say so because the belt tensioner is still in it's stock location, while the Jammin' has an aluminum bracket that mounts the tensioner from the top deck.

As far as I'm concerned, one can never have too many Yokes.

Thanks everyone. That top deck is to nice be a homemade job. The guy did inform me about some modifications that were required to fit the "aftermarket" top brace but he never did them. Anyone know if the jammin brace required drilling holes for the belt guide bracket and would anyone have a closeup of the bracket so i can try and fab one? Thanks!

I think I have a Jammin one, and also one that works with the RPM bulkheads. I'll try and snap some pics of the differences for you, unless someone beats me to it. St. pat's celebrations throughout the weekend, so I doubt I will get anything posted before late sunday.

I believe the jammin brace extends all the way to the front tower, to provide support, and the rpm one is different so that it correctly attaches to the top plates of the bulkhead.

So I managed to snap some pics for you. I have an upper brace that works with the rpm bulkheads, dunno who made it. It looks like you bow the chassis to adjust tension, or someone never but the tensioner back on; the belt seems tight enough though.

Also is shown what I think is a jammin' brace. you can see the tensioner on the upper brace. this fits onto the standard bulkhead caps.

I've never seen the one for the RPM bulkheads. Great, another rare part to try and find ... Thanks for the info!

Cool, Thanks !!! The one i have is the rpm brace. The previous owner told me that the brace required some cutting or sanding as per the instructions for the brace. He didn't recall the brand but now i know, Thanks again!!
