Wolverine sputtering...e-brake?
I own a 2000 Yamaha Wolverine & every since I bought it, I've had a problem with the e-brake. All of a sudden it will loose all power and sputter when you give it gas like the e-brake is on, but it's not! I've heard about the block off plates, but will that bybass it? The local dealership won't help me because they "can't remove safety equipment".Any help on this is greatly appreciated!!!

On your handlebars where your ebrake lever is, there is a switch which puts the rev limiter on when the ebrake is engaged. Trace the wires down under the plastic and unplug em. Most bike shops sell a blockoff plate, should you wish to completely remove your entire ebrake system, like I did.

There are 2 switches on the left hand bar end, one for Ebrake rev limiter, and one for the start in gear feature on the brake lever , be sure you unplugged the right one. If this does not cure your problem, then it seems likely that you have dirt in your carb (a VERY common problem). A thorough internal cleanout would be in order. In my case, an inline fuel filter between tank and carb has eliminated recurrances.
The blockoff plate goes on your rear caliper to totally eliminate the whole parking brake mechanism.

Let me know what you did to bypass the cutout switch- In the winter when riding I have had it freeze to where I had a heck of a time getting going again. I know it's in the cutouy switch.
A friend of mine that I ride with has a 2001 wolverine also and he had a problem with it last weekend-it would idle fine and run up to about 3/4 throttle-towards full throttle it would start cutting out-this is the fourth or fifth time we've run across his machine doing this. We both have installed fuel filters to help eliminate problem- I think that moisture in the tank resulting in a little water getting to the carb is the problem. We usually end up draining the bowl a couple of times and it seems to work itself out. Don't know if we are actually fixing anything or just lucking out, but so far we haven't had to be towed home!!! I try to store mine with a full tank of fuel to help prevent condensation inside the tank.
