Default Wolverine vs Xplorer

Anyone out there ever put your 350 wolf next to a xplorer?(250) I just want to know, my bud said his wasn't running right, but shouldn't a 350cc blow away a 250cc? Guess what? Not!!!

those Explorer's are 2 strokes,and are pretty fast for a utility,,,small or not

ive never ridden a wolvie,but i heard they were geared for more low end torque

i can speak for the Explorer personally,,,i had a '97 300cc,,that bike was a blast when it was new,but after a few years it started to wear pretty fast,3 chains,and 6 sprockets that were a royal pain to replace,,,,not to mention frying the top end because the auto oil mixer failed,,,,,and im not a big fan of Polaris exaust,the springs kept going out creating exaust ticks everytime you turn around

Thanks for the reply, high maintainance is tough, tell me it wasn't fun to ride, though!!! If you ever, ever, ever, get the chance to ride a 400cc 2 stroke polaris, do it. Lots of fun, lots of power, lots of upkeep. Like anything good.

didnt they come out with a 400 2 stroke trail boss for a year a while back?

im sure they did,,either trail boss,or trail blazer

but yea that ole explorer was the bike that got me the 4 wheeler fever,,,,thought it sucked when they stopped making them,,,i heard Polaris is coming out with a new 2 stroke

I would love it if they do. Don't get me wrong, love my 250, but a 450 or 500 version would be OOC (out of control) YES

i'm pretty sure they are,not sure what sizes though

this Grizz is the first non polaris ive ever owned,and most of my freinds are still die hard Polaris loyalists,,,which is cool,,,but i seem to remember a conversation this summer about Polaris,and their 2006 new line-up consisting of a brand new 2-stroke model

im not even sure if its going to be 2 or 4 wheel drive
