Default Wolverine tuning???

Ive been testing one of those Powertips and found that when using a K&N Filter it runs really lean, I figure a few sizes up on the main and atleast 1 size up on the pilot, Id also recommend just buying a Dynojet kit for around $50 and follow the directions that comes with it. Iam returning the Powertip for a refund and in the spring Ill do a pipe and jet kit then.

as far as a little more bottom end. just doing a jet kit will not do anything. You need to really have a better flowing exhaust and intake before you actually need the jet kit.

If you never top out and find yourself wanting to go faster on the top end you can do a EPI clutch kit which will give you more low end power.

Or get a pipe and filter and jet kit for more power throughout the range top to bottom.

X2 what ctateusa1 says. Just jetting won't help. The EPI clutch kit will give you the most low end for the buck.

I'd go with a foam filter or at least an Outerwear on the K&N if you live in a dusty/dry place but I think you're on the right track.

With the stock shocks I'd try the setup posted on the Arctic Cat forum here. I got a set of Elka's and they are sooooo much better than the stock setup. Smoothed out the ride and the wheels stay planted even on the rocky mountain trails we ride. Best upgrade to date for me.
