The Yamaha YFM 350 Wolverine, produced from 1988 to 1994, marked a significant shift in the ATV market, pioneering the sport-utility ATV category. It offered a robust and reliable platform for both work and recreational use, setting the stage for the popular utility ATVs of today. The Wolverine was powered by a 348cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine renowned for its durability and torque. This engine, coupled with a five-speed manual transmission with reverse, provided ample power for tackling challenging terrain and hauling heavy loads. The Wolverine's rugged construction featured a sturdy steel frame, independent front and rear suspension with coil-over shocks, and large-diameter tires, assuring a comfortable ride and confident handling even on rough surfaces. Its compact size and low center of gravity made it maneuverable in tight spaces, while its high ground clearance and impressive carrying capacity made it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications. The YFM 350 Wolverine was a true all-rounder, capable of hauling materials, pulling trailers, and tackling challenging trails with equal ease. Its popularity stemmed from its blend of performance, reliability, and versatility, making it a favorite for ranchers, farmers, hunters, and recreational riders alike. Unlike the earlier, smaller utility ATVs, the Wolverine offered a more comfortable riding experience thanks to its larger frame and improved suspension. It also featured a larger storage capacity, accommodating more supplies and equipment. While production ceased in 1994, the YFM 350 Wolverine left a lasting legacy, inspiring future models and solidifying Yamaha's position as a leader in the ATV market. This reliable workhorse continues to be enjoyed by owners and enthusiasts today, proving its enduring value and lasting performance.
