sinned96 · 03-16-2008, 03:16 PM

I'm buying some mudlites tomorrow I can get 25 XL for 550 with type 5 rims shipped or should I go ahead and get the 26 XL for 50 bucks more. I been comparing weights and the 26 XL dont seem to be that much heavier than the 25 XL These are the weights I found from two different websites. These are going on a 06 Yamaha Wolverine 450 4X4

25x8-12 XL F/R 24
25x10-12 XL F/R 29
25x12-12 XL F/R 26
----------------------
26x9-12 XL F 22
26x10-12 XL F/R 23
26x12-12 XL R 27
============
XL 25x8-12 19.5
XL 25x10-12 22.5
-----------------------
XL 26x9-12 23.2
XL 26x10-12 22.9
XL 26x12-12 25.9

wat is the size u have on ur yamaha now?

sinned96 · 03-16-2008, 04:02 PM

23 inch but its a kodiak motor on a big bear or bruin frame and they came with 25 stock I believe

also r u sure that the lugs are the same between the 25 and 26 cause when i bought mine the lugs on the 26 were an inch and on the 25 it was a 1/2 of and inch

u also have to pay attention to stress on the engine and tranny cause the bigger the tires the more the engine has to work. wat terrain do u drive one (rocky, muddy,sand). Finally if you get the 26's would you have enough space between the plastic and tire?

25 inchers and a clutch kit. A guy on another forum has done this also. He said a clutch kit is a must.

is a clutch kit hard to install?

Never put one in myself, but have riden belt drives that have a clutch kit. Have been told if you can change a belt , you can put a clutch kit on. It makes one heck of a difference in how they perform.

I don't know the cost. It changes the shift points basically. Makes a belt drive engage sooner and work/ perform better. Gorrilla axles has the best clutch kit, highlifter has a good one to.
