about a month ago i bough a brand new 06 wolverine. on my third ride out, i snapped the rear axle in half. i hit a small jump and when i landed it broke. has anyone else experienced this? is there any kind of aftermarket upgrade? thanks.

well how small is the jump??? the quad looks like a sport but its not. it can take very little jumps but i would prob lead to a defect in yours dealer should fix it. hth

 

I jump my 03 Wolverine,every time it scares the crap otta me,I should pay attention to those signs on the trails that say "bump"..It's a bit of a beast to go airborne..And I use to jump doubles on my yz450f all the time and not even think about it lol..

 

i would say the tires were about 3 feet off the ground. luckily i have the yamaha warranty, and they replaced it, but now im worried to do anything with it.

by the way yamaha06, do you have a picture of the led clear tail, and where did you get it?

thanks.

yeah i made a custom bracket for to to mount where the orig one was. got the light off ebay pics are at my webshots page Pics

 

i have 4 buddies with woverines i've never seen them try to jump with one. i think if u want to jump to get a light sport quad.

 

I have jumped my Kodiak maybe 2' of so off the ground with the big wheels many times and had no problems.

Are your shocks adjustable like the Kodiak? Make sure they are adjusted properly for jumping or you could have more problems.

 

should they be adjusted to be stiffer? i know its not a sport quad but i figured it could handle some smaller jumps. im just tellling myself it was a factory defect (crossing fingers).
