My good friend has a 99 wolverine that he bought brand new and already he has had to replace:
light bulb twice, front barings, tire caps twice I forgot. At high speeds it misses sometimes. Has anyone else had any problems?

I have had my 99 Wolverine since January and the only problem I have is one of the bulbs burning out. I have not replaced it because I am getting a set of Hellias 500's to replace the stockers. I have heard about other people having problems with there wheel bearings, the stock bearings if I'm not mistakin are non-sealed bearings. You can replace them with after market sealed ones. I have yet had a prblem with mine.....I am very satisfied with my Wolverine.....Herbert

My 98 is one year old this month, I've had the rear axle replaced under warranty and I have replaced the front wheel bearings with sealed ones. The head lights are very prone to leaking I added light covers to help out with that problem and I'am on my 3rd or 4th set of brake pads due to mudding alot(nature of the beast)!!!!

I have a 95 wolverine only thing that has been replaced is the rear axle bearing and brake pads. I have had some carburator problems but I feel it is a rare case with my carb. Other than that nothing else.

I noticed that it looks like the carborator is leaking on my friends too. When going down a road it will miss sometimes but he says it the gas and puts in dry gas. does this help or is it the spark plug or something?
