Has anyone had any problems with the wolverines axle bending? ive had it for 6 months and its already gone through 4 axles. they where all on jumps.im not hitting them wrong or going to high.I love the machine but im getting sick of the axles bending. does anyone know the reason?

 

Two of my friends that I ride with ride Yamaha's, one a Wolverine, and the other a Warrior. They both have had problems bending the rear axle, the warrior's bent from rolling down a hill, and I'm not sure what caused Wolverine's to bend but from what i've seen that it is not all that uncommon. What made them mad is what bent the axles, shouldn't have, I'm am NOT trying to start anything, but I have seen Honda's take much worse wrecks and roleovers w/out bending axles! If you've replaced yours several times already, maybe you should try a aftermarket axle.

yes indeed, been there broke that!!! my wolverine was 5 months old when i bent the rear axle, the quad rolled back about 2 ft. and the left rear hit a small tree. my dealer covered it under warranty, you might want to use a rpm axle next time, i understand they have a lifetime no questions asked warrenty!!

 

the problem is only when i take jumps.

 

Thats strange that your complaining of bent axles I weigh 280 pounds and have never bent any axles on jumps or anything else. My quad also has rolled down a mountain side that bent up the handle bars and screwed up the plastics but the axle has survived. How high are you jumping.

 

Im jumping no more thatn 3 and a half feet. and i know im not landing them wrong ethier. im wondering if it not somthing to do with to axle bearing. its at the shop now getting its fourth put on. luckly it s still under warrenty

 

Well Thanks for your help guys. If anyone eles know or has had this happen please reply.

Now I'm Pissed!!! I figured I better just check to make sure it wasn't the axle. Guess what?? I've road the darn thing 1 time in the woods. I jumped with it, but never, I mean never got more that a foot or two.

Tell me about this warranty! I have a 3 yr extended warranty with the machine, but I can almost rest assured they wont do squat about it. I talked to them when I thought it was the wheel and all they said was sorry!

Dang I'm glad I didn't assume too much longer that it was a wheel.

So What Happened?

 

The axle is bent at the Left rear on the end.

The dealer won't even look at it.
