I had 26" carlise atc's on mine with a clutch kit, k&n filter, HMF pipe and dynojet kit. The add on's by far made up for the doggish feel of my stock wolverine and changing to the 26's didn't take away much power from the bottom/mid anyway. If you're a trail rider you are probably not riding...
I purchased the Hauck clutch kit made for my 06 450 wolverine in hopes of one thing- having it go down hills slower, which it did. The problem is, descending really large hills is still a real pain in the ass, as the wolverine starts to gain speed on most steep hills. It went from going 20+MPH...
I used the ebc pads on the rear and didn't notice they lasted longer/wore less but they were certainly less squeaky. Make sure you take that caliper apart and clean up everything well. Mine was sticking last fall. I did a small stretch of trail with it partially stuck and it got so hot it bent...
Yeah actually I picked up on kijiji for $60 cash. I know that red deer powersports has that same aluminum rack in stock sitting there forever. They might let it go cheap.
Got it back in Feb this year (stock) and have added a few goodies
2006 Wolverine 450
Painted front bumper black
2500LB champion winch (homemade mount thanks to my hubby)
GYTR rear rack
HMF pipe
Dynojet kit
Powermadd star hand guards
Renthal bars
Now its just time to invest in some real tires
I love my powermadd stars. There are 2 styles of mounts you can get, the standard ATV with an arm style mount, or the full on bush guards. They wrap around and slide into the bar ends, and look pretty indestructible. I like mine for keeping my little girl hands warm and drier...canada has some...
Is anyone on the forum running a hotcam or similar cam in their 450? I have heard they make one for the wolvy 450 but as usual the internet has brought up nothing. If you have one, what kind of price and where did you pick it up? Are there noticable gains?
