Yamaha Wolverine X4 Maxxis Carnivor Tire Install and First Impressions 

Excellent video sir whoever disliked this video should be ashamed very informative

man thats a nice setup. i'd like to get those identical tires on my stock rims, hopefully it rides smoother...keep us posted. thanks for the diy vids also, they helped me out with break in service.

Another great video. Thanks

I have same tires on my X4 in 28 inch they have about 1400 miles on them so far no issues. Couldn't ask for anything better

Good job! 👍

Those little guys have to look to the side to see where they're going! I remember being tiny like that riding on my Daddy's motorcycle; I wore shorts once and got burnt on the exhaust; I never rode Daddy's bike since then and he died with cancer soon after that; just sayin'; I wish and hope those little ones get to ride with daddy again and again!

Great video, I'd love to put a set on my X2 along with a 2" lift and a good clutch set up.( what ever one gives the best low end ) .

Sweet

Something that seems to get overlooked on any discussion about a wolverine x4 is what is shown in this video. The stock tire Yamaha used on different rim widths creates a difference of a little over an inch diffference. Diameter times 3.14 nets the circumference. I run a body shop and do suspension and frames and understand how rolling issues can affect the drivability. I measured my own x4 with a point to point tram on the knobs of the tires to get an accurate measurement. Just like the video there was a little over a inch difference. While most are only looking at the height and ground clearance and power, I am concerned about the strain on the power train. One inch difference on a 24 to 25 inch tire nets a three inch circumference difference give or take. This means the 4x4 function is fighting against the different distance each tire is traveling. I believe this explains the harsh vibration felt in 4x4 on hardpack and loose material like sand. This is always a guessing game running different width rims and tires front to rear. Without mounting them and putting on the machine, a perfect or acceptable combination is difficult. My solution was getting 14x7 rims all around with 9 inch wide tires all around. With equal air pressure, the distance each tire rolls will be equal making the 4x4 operation not fighting against it's self.

Do you think a clutch kit is really needed with the 28” carnivores ? I mostly drive slow in low range . My stock X2 shocks suck so no fast stuff for my old back. Trying to decide between buying 28” Blackwaters with my stock steel base model wheels or going with carnivores and upgrading to 14” wheels. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

what I plan to have in 2 years tuned n sheaved x4 with some good rubber.

Hi. Thank you for all your X4 videos. I just watched the one on changing the brakes which was very helpful. I’m thinking of getting the super atv arched a arms. Do you have any opinion on those?

👍👍👍👍👍

Do you have to upgrade the clutch with the added weight? I have a highlifter 3.5 do you think I could run the 29 carnivore? Thanks again man I watch every x4 video you post.🙏

5+2 offset? Another great vid, btw!

The rears are shorter due to wider wheels

🏆🏆🏆🤗🙏

Hi there. Looking into both the x4 and p5. We have 3 young kids as well. Just wondering which machine is the better family machine? I live up in Nova Scotia with similar trails. Lots of rocky woods roads and tight trails. I thought I would have to add a bench seat to the x4 but it looks like the car seat fits well. Im hoping to be able to ride most of the day without the kids complaining too much. Thanks in advance.

How did you get that car seat in the back. Thinking about buying an X4 and have a little one that would need to be in a car seat

What app do you use to get your speed trial times?

I just put the 28” carnivores on our X4. It does rub a little on the back. I put 1.5” spacers on the back but it seems like the lug studs are a little short. Did you keep the stock lugs?

Great video.... but you lost me at bla bla clutch weights. I’m so done with cvt, even tho that ending was badass. You didn’t mention the price of the Carnivores????

Do u need a lift kit to fit those 28x10x14?

What brand were the spacers?

Who ever disliked the video must have done it on accident

2 things, I don’t trust anybody that wears a helmet or can’t read a tape measure
