100 Miles on the Wolverine 450 SE
Well I hit 100 miles today... The bike has been good all around... So I thought I would post a run down if anyone cares...
Well one thing that showed up today was the front brake went soft... You can pump it right back up and I don't use it much anyways,,, so I need to see what is up with it... Back breaks are a little soft too but work OK...
I'm starting to get into it more now and the med and upper power is there,,, I just wished it had more on the lower end...
More ground clearance would be nice too... I high centered a few times today... Glad I have a winch... But there was at less 20 ATV trying to get past the "Gauntlet" (Mal's) and I just stuck it and winched out... Didn't even try...
The bike is great on trails,,, hill climbing and getting in and out of tight places... In 2WD you can ride it like a Sport ATV (sliding the back end around) and when needed slip it into 4WD... I like that...
What I would like to see Yamaha do is put the Grizzly or Raptor motor in it... with some 25 or so...
Over all... If I was looking into buying an ATV all over again,,, I would buy this one again... Good all around ATV... Two thumbs up...

100 Miles on the Wolverine 450 SE
i got about 430 miles on my wolvy. still runs like new. the only problem i have had so far is my rev limiter acting up but thats easy to fix. i am very happy with my wolvy just wish it had more low end power.
i have only gotten stuck a few times. and what suprised me the most was when i went in to deep water, i went up onto this ledge and the whole exhaust pipe was under water and it was still running great. it pulled me out great and still ran fine. i just wish i had a winch.
also one time our garden tractor got stuck in the mud while pulling a roller filled with water. all together it weighed about 1200 lbs and the wolvy pulled it great. the only thing to kno is make sure you do the 200 mile maintence and keep up with all the maintence because we all know what will happen if you dont.
