I have all the skid plates from yamaha, a-arms, diff and belly skid. Plus I have the radiator guard as well.
They were about the only ones available at the time when I got my wolvy. But I love them and they are VERY durable.
well a little more than a year has went by and my wolvy is still holding together great. I have put on about 300 more miles and no problems at all with the big bore or anything at all.
The 488 fst kit is great but takes a good bit of machining to get everything properly in there as the cases have to be clearanced to make room for the new sleeve and piston to slide down into. Which means a good guy to keep shavings out of your motor or split the cases.
yhea its definetly caused by water inside the clutch. I never had to replace my belt and have submerged the wolvy more than 1x. but when you pull the clutch cover off you will probably find that there is grease slung out. So clean everything up and regrease the clutch basket. Then give it a...
check your clutch make sure you dont have some grease where its not suspossed to be. I had that problem myself and once time it was water in there causing the belt to slip and another time it was that i had slung some grease out and it caused the problem.
FST offers a bbk for the wolvy the 500 is a stroker bbk and the 488 is just a bbk.
you gotta call him cause he never updated the site to show the new wolvy stuff.
Yes they do offer a 500 kit but that involves a stroker crankshaft. I went with the 488 because the crank was another 300 bucks for 12ccs i didnt feel it was worth it.
The 488 kit is great add a clutch kit pipe and rejet and you will be very happy.
You will love the extra power of the 488 kit. But it does take some major machine work to get it done right. But you should be able to find someone to do it for you. Get the head ported while you have it off as well.
Im gonna go take a look at it today and probably pay most of the money on it also. I will post some pics of current state and then along the way of the rebuild as well
