Have any of you heard or seen any reports of a new Wolverine from Yamaha in the near future ? The Wolverine could sure use a few updates.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I havent heard nothing but it sure would be nice if they put the yfz 450 motor in it and make it liquid cooled ohhhhh it would be bad azz.

 

Hopefully Yamaha will keep it a true sport/ute. Like a powerfull-torque monster motor, upgraded suspension, selectable 2wd/4wd, auto clutch type transmission ( no auto/belt drive please ), keep the same nimble feel and the weight down. If Yamaha would build it, I would buy it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Yea, I think that there would be a big market for sportier 4x4 quads. Something that weighs like 450 pounds maybe. I really think that whatever manufacture designs one first will make big bucks.

 

Does anyone know how the Wolverine sales are doing? Although theres quite a selection of different atvs theres huge amounts of consumers and yet i seldomly hear the Wolverines name come into the picture.

 

The Wolverine is in serious need of some updating. It needs selectable 2/4wd, minimum 400cc, larger tires and lower gearing, and a bigger tank.

 

Actually, I don't think that it necessarily need to be 400cc, maybe just a lightweight updated 350, I think they should make it very lightweight, you know, with a good power to weight ratio. If peopple want something 400cc with a big gas tank and all of the perks, they could get a kodiak.

 

if they added the 2wd/4wd select and some more power i'd buy it, a 4 vlave 350cc liquid cooled motor would work well, say around 25-28 hp in that would be real fun.

 

Yeah if they would just update that cylinder head, alot more power could be made. I would really be happy if it had a 4 valve head for more top end power.

 

If they wont do it for the much more popular warrior why would they do an engine redisign or head change for the wolverine/
