2009 Yamaha Wolverine 450 4x4 ATV

The Wolverine 450 4x4 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.

A liquid-cooled 421cc single feeds power through a full-auto constantly variable transmission. The Wolverine 450 is a great explorer.

A fully automatic transmission and Yamaha On-Command® gear selector system means switching from 2WD to 4WD is as simple as jabbing the handlebar-mounted button.
RaptorTM-inspired styling includes aggressive bodywork with integrated fl oorboards, a comfortable sport seat and an integrated rear rack.
Sport-tuned suspension, radial sport tires and light weight add up to an excellent-handling ATV.
Pushbutton electric starting for quick, easy starts in nearly any condition.

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.

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 dry weight of 516 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 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.
