Likes and dislikes of the machine? Anything you wished it had or didn't have? Thanks for sharing the video
Here are a few of my thoughts....
Some of my thoughts on the first ride:
Suspension is all it has been promoted to be, it really smooths out the ruts and bumps on the trail and the rear end sticks tight in the corners. The rear sway bars does a goos job as well as it feels just as stable as the Maverick on off-camber hills but is 4" narrower. I could also feel the extra droop in the suspension when crawling the ruts, overall feels more stable in the tricky stuff and seems more connected to the trail.
Visibility is awesome and I like the wind deflector on mine, the fender flares do a great job keeping most of the mud off of you. Really like the seats and doors. I thought I would feel a bit cramped as my leg touched the door (5'11" 265) but I found if I kept my leg lined up with and pressed tight on the door it worked pretty well.
I like the shifter, very good layout having H, L, N, R makes shifting from L to H quick and easy and quick to hit R at the bottom. Also, really love the parking brake and leaving in any gear.
I like the guages but miss having a tach and temp guage, may have to do something about that later.
The CVT is a bit noisier than I would like but not too bad.
Absolutely love the diff lock! I crawled up slick creek bed rocks that had my buddies RZR spinning the tires and never slipped a tire.
Size is about perfect for me in the woods, 4" narrower than the Maverick, 5" narrower than a RZR 1000 about the same as the 800s.
Very nimble at speed in the woods, felt like I was starring in one of those Wolverine Videos from Yamaha that I have watched a dozen times.
Not as much throw you back in the seat power as the Maverick but plenty to scoot down the trail fast enough to water your eyes.
Much more manageable power in rough hill climb situations, the Mav has a tendency to rip and roar like a rock bouncer and while this can be exciting, you are less in control.
Cargo bed with cargo box is my favorite thing about the Wolverine. The Mav has a pretty small shelf that you have to strap stuff on and hope it hangs on. More than once my buddies have handed me tool boxes that flew off while bouncing on the trail and where do you throw your empties?
The cargo box is perfect for hauling the tools and still enough room for a cooler and a spot for dead soldiers...
Cool Cab and Cup Holders!!!!! Cannot tell you how much cooler it is in the cab not having a V-Twin in your console. Don't get me wrong, the Maverick is an Awesome Machine and it can put a smile on your face when you hit the gas on open trails but this new Wolverine is quite a machine as well.
The only thing I could wish for is more ground clearance. Will probably go to larger tires later but really like the planted feel and awesome suspension with the stockers.
