Default EPI clutch kit for 06 450 wolverine

What can you guys tell me about it? Increase the power decent? I am thinking about larger tires eventually, maybe 25's ? I would like some more low end? Any info would be appreciated as I will be taking my bike in to the yamaha place soon.

The Epi clutch kit is a great kit, It gives you plenty of low end torque, but you will lose some top end speed. If you are thinking about going to 25's I would get the kit for oversized tires, if you are going to stay stock than get the stock sized tire kit.

Default EPI clutch kit for 06 450 wolverine

So I am taking my Wolvy in today, I need to decide which EPI kit to do, I am considering whether I want to keep running the stock tires for now, or switch out to 25's for a little more clearance? I am not sure what new tires would run me? Or which ones to go with?

As for the EpI kit it seems that it says the one for oversize tires are for 27's or bigger? Do you need the oversize kit for 25's? I am not sure I want to go bigger than 25's, I am afraid it would change the COG to much, or make it more tippy, plus rob power?

Any more advice?

I was also considering seeing if they could put a cam in?

Well as far as I know noone offers a specific cam for the wolverine, I have heard of people using the one for a grizz or a kodiak(I cant remember which though)

The cam for the Kodiak 400 & 450 Liquid cooled is the same as the Wolverine's

Well then the kodiak 400 and 450 should work. I just recieved my cam for the BBK build up I am doing and it is the same as a hiperformance wolverine 350/warrior cam. But I dont know how it would do with a stock 421 motor.

I got mine from www.erlandsonperformance.com I believe.

For yours you need the one for oversized tires, and then you need to choose where you ride under 3000 feet or over 3000 feet because they have two different kits for the epi clutch kit with oversized tires.

The mechanics at my shop talked me out of putting one on mine, I ride both elevations, I hunt alot at the higher elevations and live at 1000 feet, and ride that the rest of the time. They said they talked to EPI and that if I went with the 0-3000 kit I would lose HP at the higher elevations. They got the impression my HP would be even less than stock at the higher elevations. So I decided for now not to mess with it, I figured I better do some more research first.

Your bike is going to loose power at high altitudes anyway. The EPI clutch kit simply compensates for that. get the kit you will not regret it.
