1. Inspections

The first place to start when it comes to keeping your ATV well-maintained is with regular inspections. Ideally, you should look over your vehicle before and after every ride to identify any problems and note any extreme wear or damage. Then, at least once a year, you should have a certified mechanic complete an inspection.

2. Cleaning

Another task you should complete regularly is cleaning your ATV. Cleaning is a major maintenance task because it keeps the components clear of debris and makes it easier to identify concerns. A clean ATV is also much easier to work on!

3. Tire Care

The tires on an ATV undergo an exceptional amount of wear because they’re made to handle tough terrain and off-road conditions. So, you’ll want to keep an eye on the tread depth and condition of each tire. Sometimes you can patch damage and other times you’ll need to know when it’s best to replace the tire entirely.

4. Engine Care

The engine also works extremely hard to overcome terrain. You’ll need to change the oil and filters periodically for the best performance and to improve the longevity of the engine. You can check your specific model’s recommendations for oil changes based on how frequently you ride your ATV.
