The epi kit is great if you dont want to be down about a week waiting on the machining to get done for the hauck performance clutch work. I did a write up on here when I intstalled mine. It is great for a lower end torque range(mainly if you like wheelies and taller tires.

The 488 kit in mine did require machining of the cases a little(can be done without splitting them(the extra 350 plus splitting the cases and more machine shop labor didnt seem worth the extra 12ccs that I would gain)

But the power from the bbk is awesome.

I am like you I flipped mine with only 12 miles on the clock just turning around on a dirt road.

The basic mods like listed above do help the power
GYTR or HMF exhaust
dynojet jet kit
and a good filter K&N or UNI

I have thought about shocks and even called elka but I decided I would rather have the bbk than the elkas.

But I can ride hard on mine and have the rear end out at 35--45 mph without having it catch on the dirt roads.

 

Thanks ctateusa1 that helps alot ...who did you get your bbk from?? and it says you ahve cams also??? who they from ?? and also I hear this is the same engine from the kodiak so will alot if any poarts for it fit this one??? or is this a lie??? .....yeah I hate the two wheelin on mine it is the only real complaint I have about this machine

 

The bbk and the cam are both from www.fourstroketech.net.

 

what about 25x8x12 and 25x10x12 kenda bear claws ??? ?will the fact they arent a radial hurt me any ...every yamaha person says they will and not to run em ...but since im goin with the clutch I want a dif tire and .... well I dont care about the height killin some ratio at that point but the fact they are a bias made me wonder

 

Elkas are not that expensive. Anyone can get the compression rebound and preload adjustable shocks for $2020. If you do not need them to be adjustable they are $1545. I just bought the elites with High speed and low speed compression adjustments they ran me $2100 because I had a 20% off coupon that I won racing in a local cross country series. I have not gotten them installed yet but I will let you all know how they work after the race this weekend. Works also make a replacement shock for the wolverine but after reading ATV scenes review on them I was not impressed. plus white blue and silver shocks would just clash with the 07se color scheme ;-)

 

I have the kenda bear claws on my old moto 4 250 and they wear like iron, they are a little rougher ride on hard pack but they will get a grip in about anything.

 

figured i just as soon ask in this thread as opposed to starting a new

Im on an 08 wolverine and was looking to lift it about 2" and cant seem to find a kit for it anyone have any ideas. Ive seen mention of a perflex kit but havent found it despite my searching. much thanks to any help

 

The perfex kit is made in Canada(I believe) by Hebco distributing.
I have heard of a few fitment issues in the past and that it take a while to get their stuff. But have heard a few people that really like their stuff.

 

yeah ive heard the same thing.... but I found a louisiana based compant willin to amke a kit if anyone wants to volunteer a machine I want to but to far for me to drive lol
