We conjecture an upper bound on the growth of the Yokota invariant of polyhedral graphs, extending a previous result on the growth of the 6j-symbol. Using Barrett’s Fourier transform we are able to prove this conjecture in a large family of examples. As a consequence of this result, we prove the Turaev–Viro volume conjecture for a new infinite family of hyperbolic manifolds.
