Yes, you can but it will most likely affect the play of the yoyo. To take them off takes some effort with a hangar which I personally think is not worth it. You can also use the YYJ cap method but it has to be a VERY strong suction cup. ---

No. You can’t do them easy with them on. (Think thumb grinding a speeder with caps on but with a little more room.) However, if i’m not mistaken, you have a Dark Magic? Just use that to thumb grind. Buying a whole new yoyo to thumb grind is pointless. ---

You can still thumb grind with the caps on. It is just a little harder.
