Key Features:
The Wolverine 450 4×4 combines features like 4WD and a fully automatic transmission with light weight and sport-tuned adjustable suspension. The result is a highly functional machine that’s a blast to ride almost anywhere.
A liquid-cooled 421cc single feeds power through a full-auto constantly variable transmission. The Wolverine 450 is a great explorer.
A fully automatic Ultramatic® transmission and Yamaha On-Command® drive selector system means switching from 2WD to 4WD is as simple as pressing the handlebar-mounted button.
Raptor™-inspired styling includes aggressive bodywork with integrated floorboards, a comfortable sport seat and an integrated rear rack.
Sport-tuned suspension, radial tires, light weight and a centralized mass add up to an excellent-handling ATV.
Pushbutton electric starting for quick, easy starts in nearly any condition.
Engine:
Powerful 421cc, liquid-cooled, SOHC, four-stroke single is torquey, revvable, smooth-running and extremely reliable.
A semi-oval slide 33mm BSR Mikuni® carburetor and high-output DC-CDI ignition deliver great throttle response and performance at all rpm.
Fully automatic transmission is extremely rugged and reliable, with a constant belt-tensioning system, that provides confident downhill engine braking.
A large-capacity aluminum radiator provides maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in frame for optimal protection.
Easy-access, tool-free air filter simplifies changing and cleaning.
An automatic cam chain tensioner reduces maintenance requirements.
Chassis/Suspension:
Light, high-tensile steel frame provides a strong foundation for double-wishbone front and single-shock rear long-travel suspension systems for a sporty yet comfortable ride.
Five-way preload-adjustable suspension front and rear lets the Wolverine 450 be dialed in just right for varying loads and conditions.
A wet weight of 550 pounds means the Wolverine 450 runs right with the big sport dogs.
Low-maintenance shaft drives provide near-bulletproof strength and reliability.
Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes provide plenty of stopping power.
23 x 8-12 front and 23 x 10-12 rear radial sport tires serve up great traction and quick, light handling.
Aluminum wheels mean low unsprung weight for great suspension action and overall performance.
Full skidplates provide great undercarriage protection.
Additional Features:
A digital dash meter keeps track of speed and other essentials.
An underseat storage compartment and integrated rear cargo rack make it easy to bring the things you need.
