Thinging of buying a Wolverine, What do you think...Any problems with them? Is the steering
radius smaller than the Rancher? does it feel like you're driving a jeep in the woods? does it handle better than the Rancher/.......

Definitely handles better than a Rancher. You can get a manual clutch kit for it too from Four-Stroke Tech along with a kit to boost it to 450cc. You will either love all-time 4WD or you will hate it.

Talk to Mickey Dunlap at Four-Stroke Tech (814) 842-6159. Rich Travalena won last year's GNCC 4X4 championship with a Wolverine with a FST manual clutch kit w/FST heavy-duty clutch springs. Checkout the February 2001 Dirt Wheels magazine if you have it.

They can also do a bunch of engine work to make it 500cc.

The wolverine will beat a rancher only after 50kph,The major troubles with the wolverine is mostly bad bearings front and back and the brakes where out fast.

I would read the write up in 4wheel atv action. They praised it a little, then proceeded to call it way outdated, and way behind the new tech quads. I had a full time 4 wheel drive quad. I got tired of always being in 4wd in two months and sold it. I would never buy one again.

I did, however, ride a Wolverine once. It was a nice quad.

Our wolverine has had no problems. Just change the oil and spark plug. IT is a fun quad that can easily get more power outta.
