I have a bone-stock 1999 Wolverine. I have been reading some of the posts on this forum about Wolverine's topping out between 50 and 55 mph. I have used both a GPS and driving along side a pickup and I can only reach 45 or 46 mph. Is this normal?
Also, would I notice a difference with a K&N Performance Kit and a FMF MegaMaxII? Would I be dreaming to think I would pick up an extra 5 or 10 mph?
BTW, I am extremely happy with my Wolverine - it just gets a person thinking reading all of these ideas!!
The Detroit Un-Locker from HighLifter especially has my interest, but that's another topic.
Thanks for all your help!

 

45 mph does seem a little slow, but without knowing the conditions you were driving in I can't say for sure. Was it on a flat road? Hard packed gravel or pavement?
If conditions aren't perfect ATV's will lose alot of speed.
Other things, like your tire pressure and a clean air filter are important too.
As for the Highlifter thingamajig; remember, 500 bucks can turn your Wolverine into one badass 'wheeler. It might be fun to have 2wd, but there are alot better ways to spend that kind of coin.

 

I was clocked on a packed dirt road.
What kind of mods would give me the most bang for my buck? I'm leaning towards the pipe and air filter, but wanted to hear from others.

Thanks
