Default Picked up a wolverine today

ANy issues to watch for on these. It is a 96 but looks almost new. Not had it out much yet but seems like a nice little quad. Any help would be appreciated. TonyT

The only weak link in the Wolverine 350 models were rear diff ring gears and rear axle splines stripping.
Keep the rear end oil changed very frequently,..more so than you would on other models and you should have no issues. The Wolverine is a very dependable machine and other than the rear drive issues, are fairly bullet proof.

congrats, tonythom - I have an 02 and I love it. lots of fun - nimble on the trail and pretty easy to maintain. I've got no complaints with mine. A design thing - some folks have problems with the parking brake which is set on the left handle grip. There's a rev limiter when the parking brake is set and sometimes the switch sets when you don't want it to. I ran into this and the engine will bog down/run rough when you apply throttle. If this happens, play with the parking brake lever, give it a spray with a light lube and you should be good to go.

You might find that tire choice is a little limited because of the size. I use Titan 489 Xts and luv 'em.

Have fun.

tonythom, a little bit more about what I was talking about earlier - you might experience no problem, but forewarned is forearmed.
