questions for SpDdEmOn
i might buy my girlfriends dads wolverine off of him.i think its a 97 or 97.well anyway i was wondering about the following things:
-manual clutch from FST:is it just like a manual clutch,like do you have to hold it in to stop in gear and use it to start out?
-446 bore kit-i have ridden the quad and it needs more power.does this kit make a big difference?what size carb do you have.im sure it probabyl needs an aftermarket carb.does it run on 93 or lower octane?
-can your quad hang with a stock 400ex in a drag?as built now,i know for stock they cant

To answer a few of your questions...
I have the 435 Kit... Mickey came up with that kit back in '95.
I had an in depth conversation with him late last year and the Manual Clutch setup can be done in two ways-
1) you can remove the auto-clutch - this removes almost 5 lbs of rotating mass off of the crank - this is beneficial for quicker acceleration. Not so good for rock crawling and low rpm movements. That added spinning mass actually helps to keep the motor from stalling. Mx bikes are the ones that usualy suffer from this as they want instant throttle accel. and to be as light as possible... that is why they have to keep their rpm's up.
2) You can have your cake and eat it too. You can have your wolverine set up to use both the manual and the auto clutch. The advantage to this is that if you want the riding style of a manual, you can pull in the clutch handle and it will function as if the auto clutch were not there. However, if you like the auto - say one handed riding (not saying it is a good idea, but broke a finger once and couldn't pull the clutch) or if your wife has small hands and can not reach the clutch handle, then you can ride it as an auto.
The 435 kit (there are many things that go with the bore and stroke such as cam, springs, porting, polishing, airbox mods) makes a huge difference in power. I can wheely my machine from a dead standstill. And that is with the auto clutch and stock exhaust.
My bike has the factory carb on it. '95 was the only year in which Yamaha put the same carb on the wolverine as they do the warrior. With the right airbox mods and jetting, I feel they out perform the newer style carbs. I do also believe that the '95 has a slightly larger headpipe than the '96 and above. This helps it breathe a bit easier as well.
My bike will have detonation if I run fuel with an ocatne rating of less than 103, so I do the mix thing. I am pretty certain that I have an 11:1 ratio.. I do know for fact that my compression is around 200 psi and that is on an 8yr old engine that has not been opened since Mickey built it.
As for hanging with a 400ex, you'ld have to actally ask SpDdEmOn. I have yet to race mine since getting the jetting spot on. All I can tell you is that it pulls like a scalded ape from the touch of the throttle until you let go. I have absolutely no throttle hesitation as is common with most wolverines and warriors. I am working on testing my theory of why that is.. (made a minute change in the style of jetting in the carb). If my theory proves right, I'll let others know.
