You can read below what I have below. If I have $500 bucks to work with, what should I get? Am I on the right track?

yeah...the warn 424 is the first thing you should do to a wolverine...people say it makes a huge difference...your tires might mess that up a little though...does it have trouble pulling them?...the ids2 pipe is supposed to be pretty good..

Bayou,

Of course 25's on a wolverine cut the low end a little bit, but it still turns them quite well. With the all the power to the rear wheels. I am assuming it will move them well.

That engine mods up pretty well. Lots of aftermarket stuff available. Does it have that same ridiculous airbox as the Warrior and Banshee had (where the lid holds the filter in place....a disaster waiting to happen!), or did Yamaha fix it? If not, the first thing I would do is get a Pro-Flow adapter (http://www.prodesignracing.com/main.htm). Then a 424, and eventually a header and muffler.

Yep, same horrid airbox setup. Getting some type of clamp on air filter setup should be a must mod.

It was for me, anyways.

424 is the first thing I did and would do it the same again. After that though, it's tough to tell depending on what kind of riding you do. A belly skid plate sure made me feel more confident riding, along with oxlite boot guards. If you don't push it real hard in wooded or rocky terrain and just want performance improvements, then a pipe, filter, and rejet will help a lot.

A torque stuffer is about $30 and will give you better low end. A pipe with a disc setup is a great mod, as you can put less discs in it for more low end and more for more high end. Stronger clutch springs will also help your low end, especially from a dead stop. What are you looking for, more low end or high end?

Rock,

I am looking more to boost my low end and acceleration. Top end would be nice, but it is less important.

Thanks,

Ryan
