NEW WOLVERINE 450 OWNER
Hey!
Midway through a rebuild on an LT250R my wife told me to just get a new bike. I thought that since she was nice enough to make me get a new one, I would be nice enough to get one she might be able to handle. After great research I settled on the '07 450 wolverine. Even though I miss the clutch-popping, tail-spinning, wheelie-gettin' power of the 2-stroke 250, I have had a blast on the wolverine. The wife isn't showing much interest yet, but I'll give her time. Anyway, I have notice a "rattle" or vibration out of the right side of the motor until it is warmed up....is this normal? Also, sometimes when I put it in forward, it kicks in and jumps as I shift....normal? This is a great site and I'm glad I found it. THANKS in andvance ya'll.

If you have the choke on making the engine rev up a little, it will jump when you put it in gear. Make sure you arent pushing in the throttle, or the choke isnt too high before you shift. As for the noise, how violent is it? Is it just regular valve noise, or something clanking?

The jerking into gear is from slightly too high an RPM, like during cold start warm up.
The rattle type sound seems to be inherent in the 450. It doesn't seem to affect durability from my experience. Kind of like the older Cummins diesels that you had to shut off at the drive trough window because everyone around couldn't hear your over the clatter!
