7beast Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 ok so everything should just bolt right up to my stock a-arms??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Yes they actually made the spindle change ion the 1990 models, so 1990s have jarms with the late style spindles. You can use your early spindles with A arms, but if you want to add YFZ(dual piston) calipers to it you will need to have the late style spindles.

Jereme6655 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 and you also need to remember to tell the parts guy the year of the bike your calipers came from as the earlier 87-90ish had larger brake pads and will not fit on the newer style calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereme6655 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 x2 like trick said....you cant use the 91-06 pads on the 87-90 calipers i know the 91-06 pads are SMALLER than the 87-90 pads.....and i believe the calipers were actually larger for the early years.

7beast Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 ok fellas i have one last question about this subject, will my 87' hubs and rotors work with 91-06 spindles and calipers???? thanks alot in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKJK Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yes.The only difference between the two Knuckles is the mounting points for the calipers. Your complete older set up will work on the newer set up as long as you use your older calipers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
