Bought new '23 x4 850 xt-r, trading in our 2-up atv. We're nearly 70 and wanted to keep riding.. Bringing friends & family is a blast, along with the quietness, makes riding very enjoyable. No issues or regrets after 700+ miles. Thanks for the vid.
Best review I’ve seen on this machine. Definitely on my follow list.
Great video. Especially the summary at the end. Well done. Thank you for taking the time to make such a comprehensive video.
Just got my 2023 Wolverine x4 the other day, after so many years in the Military; I had no chance of getting anything for fun, well my wife and I saw your video! So a big thank you for the excellent description and demonstration of that little beastie! just added side mirrors and the drop down windshield.
So far driven a few KM on a paved road, still waiting for amazon to deliver the helmets, had to wear a replica WWII German helmet!! anyway I need to get it in the dirt! everywhere there's woods roads; trails and the old rail line up here in NL.
Still have to wait about another month for the snow to cut; we have a long winter. Thanks again take care.
Dude, this was an excellent review👌
Best review of the wolverine on RUclips hands down. Thanks
Great owner review! I usually order base trims and modify myself as you did. Nice work on it!
Man, you did a grand terrific job!!! 👏 at this review. Thanks!!! Yamaha should pay you for this review. Everything was clear and very informative!!!
Thank you for taking the time to make this full review! For our family of 4, I was looking at this & Honda Pioneer. Right now i am leaning toward this Wolverine X4 with roof & split fold down windshield. Living in West Virginia that's completely Mountainous, I love the trail ability of the short wheelbase. The price point at 16k great as well!
Great review 👍🏽👍🏽 thanks for taking the time for an in depth review .
Thanks for watching
Great review, you actually touched base on all of the important points. Good video
Thank you and I will now be seriously considering this when I finally get my LUXE Toy Hauler for full time living in retirement.
The way you described it I'm betting it's at or under 10' in length which is perfect for the floor plan my Toy Hauler will have.
So again thank you for a great review with honest opinions...
Really liked your review I was debating on a few different models, but you won me over. Picked up my 2022 Wolverine 850 XTR yesterday. Love it!
Solid review. Meaningful, credible, a pleasure to learn from. Thank you.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Just bought a 2019 X4 Wolverine video was great! Detailed and clear. Well done!
Thank you
Well done video! You nailed all the benefits of owning this machine. I have one myself and can 100% agree with all that was covered here.
Thanks man, hope this helps some guys trying to decide. I appreciate the feedback!
Great job. Got the 2020 X2 XTR in Sept . Just got the windshield and soft enclosure. Took the plow from my old 2016 Wolverine and installed that. Got the cab heater as well. Just got three days of snow here in NE PA. Machine did a super job handling the snow. It did things I didn't think she could do. Super impressed. Wasn't sure if I should get the X4 or not. But the X2 is working out great. Again super job , very informative.
This was a really well thought out and executed video.
Great video and information. We're looking to get our first sxs and this is really helpful. Hopefully 2021 will be a great year on the trail. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and i hope this helped.
Great review and the mountain backdrop makes it all the better. Yours looks great in white and with the mods you've done. I own a x4 xtr and love it. No regrets at all.
Thank you
Agree this was a very informative video and really helped us in making our decision to get a Wolverine. Quality video with good audio, narration, scenes, and information. Also great to see some great local trails.
Thats great, glad you liked it! Enjoy the new ride!
Best review I have seen and very helpful. Was looking at Honda Pioneer 4 and Wolverine X4 and will go with the Yamaha. Thanks for the review !!
Glad this video was able to help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the good review. Friend of mine bought the Terex because the Wolverine was to hard to get in and out of. I bought the wolverine because it wasn't it wasn't a polaris (I've had 2). I have just over 3000 Km and still enjoy it and if it don't like something about it I change it or make it better. If I do a review of my machine you could see all the mods I've done to my Wolverine. For the way and where we ride I like the machine.
Great review mate! I'm liking this model Yammy. Like, you I really like how compact it is. I'll watch more videos of this atv if you make them. subscribed.
Awesome video Man !!! I currently have a Teryx 4 and it is HOT and Loud !!!
That's my biggest complaint of my teryx. The wife and kids complain mostly about the noise. But the rear seat comfort is outstanding, with room for coolers etc in the back. But that noise Is getting very tiring.
I have a new 2020 and I will say the Yamaha Brand Jeep style enclosure with zip up sides and rear work really well...keeps the dust out and works nice in the winter
Good review. I sat in this machine when I was upgrading from my Pioneer 700 to my Pioneer 1000. The Yamaha is definitely more sporty than the Pioneer. I needed a little more utility than sport that’s why I went with the Honda but this Yamaha had a great cockpit. The fancier model connes with Navigation, too.
Great machine! I was torn between teryx4 and X4. I went with the Kawasaki teryx4 due to more cabin space and rear seat room.
Great review and very helpful. I'm looking into a 4 seater for the fam and it's down to this and the Teryx. I'm leaning toward this because when I rode in a buddies Teryx is was obnoxiously loud, to the point I would probably have to have my kids wear ear plugs. The rest of the machine was great but the noise was hard to ignore. I'm also an admitted Yamaha fanboy and I know the build quality is always top notch. Might have to go with the Yammie on this one.
Nice review brother and what a beautiful state you live in! Thanks!
Solid review. Answered all my questions I didn't realize I had. Was leaning towards a teryx 4 but the sound and heat factor have me thinking wolverine..
I think can am commander is really quiet but not sure about other details
Great video man! I just ordered a 2021 X4 850. Hopefully will have it in July! I live in Idaho and thought that area looked really familiar. Awesome country up there and cant wait to take the family out.
Awesome! Glad this helped and im sure ill see you on the trails soon!
Excellent video man! This is the best review I have seen so far. Only thing I noticed was if you tilt the steering wheel all the way up when getting in/out it makes it even easier. This is by far the most comprehensive X4 video so far. I have a 2018 X4 base that I got new for cheap in 2019 and I love my unit. Would be nice to have the extended rear arms but I don’t plan on putting any bigger tires than 28”s in the future. I subbed to your channel. I would like to see how you install a full light bar in conjunction with a full windshield. I am east coast and want my light bar to sit below the roof. I know that might not pertain to you west coast guys. I am sure this thing will give you many of good years of fun. Good luck!
I really appreciate the feedback man! Im working on getting a glass windshield and then ill mount my light bar. What i want is to be able to take the windshield on and off and not impede the bar.
Great review. You covered the basics and details better than most people can do. Not too much nor too little. Great job.
Thank you
Best review hands down
Great review. Learned alot from this video. I was leaning toward the Pioneer, but as the previous viewer mentioned, the heat and sound factor have me thinking toward the wolverine. I currently own a grizzly 4wheeler, so I know how solid the CVT is. Thx
Excellent real world review. So many videos I've watched have made the entry and exit sound impossible. And they fly up some boulder strewn creek bed at mach chicken then complain that the wolverine lacks fully adjustable shocks and tops out at 51mph. I don't know who takes their young kids and elderly mother for a foot to the floor adventure but I don't believe that was Yamaha's intent when building this side by side. Thanks for showing we family folks the positive aspects of the Wolverine. You sold me (and my family) on one.
Yes, i agree...
Its a good all-rounder
Maybe i can get away with it resembling a golf cart when we go into State Parks...or other campsites areas!
Joking/ not really
Great video my friend. I just sold my 2017 wolverine 2 seater and was going to buy the Honda pioneer but now I'm going to buy the wolverine 4 seater for sure. .
Glad this helped you out!
Awesome video! Thanks for all the info!
That is a darn good review,good job!
Thanks man, glad you liked it. I have done a few now with parts im adding to it. Just filmed another for the windshield i put on. Thanks for watching
Best video review ever!
Nice video man. I love the Yamaha's. In my 20s I had a Banshee. Now I'm a little older so I'm on my second Grizzly 660. I also have a 3 year old son and a daughter less than 1. So I've been researching what 4 seater I should get. Honestly I've been wrestling back and forth with the notion of getting a Pioneer 700-4. But I think I have to stick with the Yamaha.
Great owner review! Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thanks for the info
Best review I have ever watched regarding a motorized product. Nice work. No. B.S., no drama. I am buying one.
Thanks a lot for the kind words. Im glad this video helped you out!
Whats the heighth of your vehicle with the tire package...
Awesome video thanks so much! Very informative and professional without all the BS you find in most other videos out there. Looking into one of these machines for my first side by side. Question for ya - Our area we can drive on quite a few paved roads, do you think the always locked rear diff will cause damage / issues or just excessive tire wear when riding roads. Thanks again
Awesome review and well done video man.
Thank you for the extended review, looked at one yesterday and imma go trade in my Wildcat 4x for one of these.
Honda 1000-5
@@rodneytroyer2043 you think the pioneer is better?
good informative video, love that it's in Idaho, maybe you can list some areas you ride......
Very in-depth overview....
Awesome information.
I am starting to look at utvs. Have a 2011 grizzly and I love it.
I really want a side by side now that I am a little older.
Thank you for the great video....
I am looking at the pioneer, the Teryx, and the wolverine.
Would you buy the wolverine again?
GREAT video...this helped a ton, thank you.
Great review. Very thorough.
Great Job on the review. You are a natural. I was ready to pull the trigger on the Honda Talon 4-seater but now not sure. Let us know if you have dust issues in the cab with your windshield installed.
Thank you for the support! The Honda Talon and the Wolverine are two really different machines. What are you wanting to do with a sxs? 4 seats, play, work, something affordable, jump it?
Really nice review, great job.
Great job on your review. From what I have seen on other brands, because of their belt drives, they will not hold their own going down say a 50° or more long incline. They hold for a bit then their belts let loose and you're freewheeling and riding the breaks to the bottom because it won't kick back in unless you give it some gas... The Arctic Cat that I'm driving right now does this... So I would like to see your X4 holding it's own going down a steep hill without having to use the brakes because so many others fail this little test :)
I don't have a video of that but it does great down hill breaking. Really controlled. You can putt or go a little faster as you would like.
Great review and video!
Thank you
Great video. Lots of good feedback. This gives me a lot better understanding of this model vs the $$$ RMAX 4. I think the X4 is for me.
Glad you liked the video. The Rmax is different animal. It wasn't out when i bought mine. I would like the better suspension and bigger motor of the rmax but don't think the roughly 6k more would have met my budget.
Good luck, both are nice machines
Great video and very informative. I have been going back and forth between this and the Kawasaki Teryx 4, but am concerned with the noise and heat factors that seem to plague the Tyrex.
I'm on the same boat, can't decide between this, teryx, or pioneer .
Drove 4 hours to pick up my X4 XTR just today! Can’t freaking wait. Loved hearing your feedback and hopefully the XTR will be just a lil better even still.
Nice! You will like it. I would love to compare the shocks in the front.
Mystery Mountain Outdoors can’t wait to play w the clickers. Getting ready for a Cloudcroft,NM trip. Should be the perfect unit for a 3 man dirt bike and sxs trip
Excellent review and informative
Awesome review! Thanks!
Great video! Thank you
You should be a salesman for Yamaha! I am purchasing one of these because of your review. Very detailed and informative and just plain fun and entertaining at the same time. Thanks for a great review and I would like to see you review the new rmax 1000 xtr 4 before I make a final decision.
If i could get my hands on the Rmax i would do a full review for sure!
I am glad you liked the video!
Great Review, I just recently sold my Teryx, due to heat in the cab and noise. I am sold now on the Wolverine X4.
Thats great. I like the yamaha! Glad to see this offered some help to someone. Makes all the effort worth it haha
any updates on how you like the x4 now?
I did the same thing. My Teryx 4 only had 75 miles on it too. We just could not stand the noise!
Nice coverage! I did a lot of research in buying my 1st & 2nd UTV. Honda Pioneer 500 was my first (for many reliable and functional reasons) The 2019 Yamaha Wolverine X-2 Special Edition was my next machine. for many of the same reasons. The Yamaha was definitely a step up in ride and power, keeping much of the reliability as possible. I appreciate your coverage of this machine. Thanks!
Instablaster...
Do you still have the Yamaha? I’m in a similar situation. Currently have a Pioneer 520 but really wanting 4 seats.
@@ARIN4UK I do, but it's a 2 seater. My friend had the 4 seater and enjoyed it but, recently moved up to Yamaha R-Max 1000 for a bigger more powerful ride yet. For what riding I do, my 850 is just right, having a great balance of economy & power all while keeping a compact footprint. :)
Great review!
Thank you
Thx Nick. You convinced me!
Excellent review. Was thinking about Teryx4 which I liked, but was worried about the HP. When I drove the Teryx4 seemed fine. Was able to check out the check X4 yesterday. The review helped me and changed my mind about the Teryx4. Going with the Yamaha.
Thanks for watching. Glad you got some good information out of it
Excellent video! Welcome to the x4 club. Did you ever install the yamaha clutch weights on your machine? I had them installed in my x4 at the dealership before I left with it and have always wondered if I should have left the original weights in it. Its It's always seemed to rev pretty high. If you ever want an improvement in ride quality, check out the Walker Evan's after market shocks. It totally transforms the ride of the machine. You'll love them!
I havent yet, no. The stock ones are not terrible and with all of the back and forth from the clutch guys im not sure what direction i want to go. I do know that all of them say the yamaha weights are to light. I may return them
Really good video!
Thank you, im glad you liked it!
Awesome review thanks -
You're welcome, thank you
I have a 2016 Viking with 13,000kms on it. I had belt issues at 11,000kms. I just want to give people a heads up that you don't have to have issues at 11,000kms. What I know now is that at about 5,000kms you should take out the primary clutch, clean it and apply new Ultramatic grease. That would have saved my fixed primary sheave. But with that said, the primary fixed sheave is cheaper than a belt and just as easy to change. It's a GREAT transmission but it isn't totally maintenance-free. Also, with oversized tires, I suggest doing a wet clutch kit (slug or spring) at the very least. It requires an oil drop and a new seal. But the benefit is that it'll help extend the wet clutch life which is about a $600 assembly to replace.
Awesome information, thanks for watching.
I hope they make right hand version in the future it feel weird after driving left hand at workplace but after you finish you going to drive car going home
I love ❤ Idaho, great review I'm selling the teryx.
Good video , I have a canam comander and was thinking of a terex as well , I want a small footprint for the area in BC where I live and now Yamaha is on the table thanks wasnt sure of either 1000 or the 8 and that seems fine, price is over 20k in Canada but oh well
Great video
great review.
Thank you
Just be glad you didn't buy the KYB shock model. They have 26 setting on top and 31 on the bottom. Took me 6 mouths to get set so it didn't ride like a buck board wagon. Findley set them all the way soft and disconnected the rear sway bar. Rides pretty good now. Go to Lowe's and get yourself a 20 dollar 4x8 sheet of wall sheet vinyl and make some front inter fender liners. That will keep mud from up under the dash board. Can Am push pins work great to hold in place. Good luck with your new machine. 2019 Wolverine R Spec x2 rider
Awesome info, thanks for watching!
Funny, watching you drive I thought "Looks a lot like Idaho" When you said "Trinity Lakes in Idaho." We ride Edna creek a lot, do a lot in the Owyhee's too.
Haha, love Idaho! I haven't ridden the edna creek stuff yet but see people who do!
Very nice review i looked at these but went with the Kawasaki im 6'4 275 and the Kawasaki just offered more on room and to be honest the heat or noise is not a big issue to me like alot of people say but i do drive a cobra with heat and massive noise in your ear so i guess i was pre exposed.
Hiya Nick from Aus... sorry if you have already addressed this question, but you did mention hunting. Are there dedicated accessories available in regards to firearm security... clamps, shells and the like?
Great review! What's the top speed on your 850?
Are the 2 rear seats hard to remove completely? I would not need them most of the time.
Can you post a video of how you service it? Show how you service the differentials, oil, ect. Please.
I could probably do that. There is a video on that on youtube already you may watch. I forget the channel but he has a lot of wolverine videos you could learn from. Thanks for watching
I really liked your video. Tell me, is it possible to install 30" tires? Sincerely from Russia.
Roman.
Great job. Thanks. I’m very interested in the cab noise levels. The RZR is too much. The Pioneer seems great but back seats suck. If you have ever ridden in a RZR, how much real world difference is there? Thanks.
There is a big difference. I have ridden with a few friends that have canam or polaris and they were surprised at the quiet ride.
Awesome thanks
Do you have any rubbing with the 28” tires? Any lift installed?
Good review. Do you get any vibration on the Go Pro ? Just bought the last 2020 x2 in Texas lol. Hasnt even seen a trail yet :( been driven on my small track at my house. Seems like its a bit twerky in 2 and 4 wheel drive. feels like its very tight. Did yours do that when it was new?
"Thanx Fer Sharin"
How is the tire and rim combo. I love the looks and can't decide if I should get it or not. I live in ohio and do have do some rode riding from trail to trail
So far i really like the setup. I for sure would always do the square setup. I like the tires a lot so far but havent had them in deep mud or snow. They are a bit softer so i think they would wear faster than something like a bfg ko2 but i think most offroad tires are this way. It is a dot radial so it does fine fine on the road
Great review Nick, I'm currently struggling between the Wolverine X4 850 and X4 1000. I plan on using it in what looks to be similar to you on mountain trails and roads. Any words of advice would be appreciated to help me decide. Thanks in advance.
I sold my X4 to get the Rmax 4. If the money isnt an issue, hands down the 1000 is the way to go. I love my new machine
So this is the 850 correct? I need to find out about cockpit noise at say 30mph on pavement. Is there too much engine noise to have a conversation?
I like the looks of the Teryx better than the Yamaha. The seating on the Kawi seems a lot better than the Yamaha. But because of the heat and noise I will be buying the Yamaha!
I really like mine.
Nice review. I have the exact same machine. I am looking at the same size tire/wheel package. Assuming you have a 5+2 wheel offset did you space out the rear wheels and if so what thickness spacers? I believe the rear wheels would require 1.5" spacers to equal the front wheel width. I am no sure if you can comment on the pros/cons of having the rear wheel width equal or less than the fronts. Also any update on changing the clutches or not? Thanks for any info from your bro in NH.
Hey bud, thanks for watching. Msa m25 wheel 14x7 +10 offset with 28" x10"efx motoclaws. No spacers. Measures 63" front and 61" rear with 12.25-12.50" ground clearance.
I installed Raceline Mamba wheels with a 5+2 offset. Using 1" spacers in the rear works best. The rear wheel track is slightly wider than the fronts.just an FYI for anyone else considering this upgrade. I went with Sedona Rip Saw tires 28x10-14. Maxxis Carnivors would be a good choice too. Enjoy the trails!
I like nicely thanks of lots;)
What’s this trail system? Planning trip out west this winter for some riding in my yxz...any recommended trail systems in your area? Def hitting Moab Utah and Colorado on way
The is from prairie idaho through to trinity lakes. Mostly just forrest service roads.
Did you have to Modify the sheeve When you added the 28" tires? I was told if you went up to 28" tires you did not have to modify it is that your understanding?
I bought the yamaha clutch weights but have not installed them. Ill probably not use them. From what i have heard that the yamaha big tire kit is to lite and makes the cruising rpms really high. Ill likely do an 18g weight kit with grease at some point (lighter than stock). I looked into sheaves but so many people go back and forth between JBS and Hujterworks and grease vs greaseless that its hard to really know what option to go with.
Can you give me your thoughts on the 28” tire/wheel setup? How much power did you loose from the stock setup? How much did it help/hurt the ride? Would that tire be good for east coast rocky/hill terrain?
my thoughts are that i prefer the extra ground clearance, better traction, and piece of mind of the 8 ply radials overall. I noticed that the steering feel is a bit heavier but still great. I noticed a slight power loss and or slight slower acceleration change but nothing substantial. i have not decided which clutch change i want to do but a lot of guys change the weights and that helps recover the changes from the tire size increase. the benefits out weigh the draw backs on the tire change IMO. thanks for watching

Thanks!
Can you do a video with your kids in the back seats. Got 2 same age and yours and am wondering how they fit and get strapped in decent.
Yeah, i can show that. The 11mth baby is tough just because of the age, no helmet, etc. I basically just ratchet strap in their car seats.
So, what's the wheelbase?
Any tips or tricks on strapping a kids car seat in it?
