Maintaining your ATV is crucial to ensure its longevity, safety, and performance. Regular maintenance can prevent breakdowns, extend the life of your vehicle, and save you money on costly repairs.

Each season brings its own set of challenges for ATV maintenance. Understanding what your ATV requires as the seasons change is key to keeping it in top condition.

Spring: Awakening Your ATV from Hibernation

After a long winter, your ATV will need a thorough inspection and cleaning. Remove any debris, check for rust, and clean all components.

Change the oil and filter, check coolant levels, and ensure that all fluids are at the recommended levels.

Check tire pressure and look for any signs of wear or damage. Inspect the suspension for any issues that may have arisen during storage.

Summer: Peak Riding Season Prep

High temperatures can strain your ATV's cooling system. Make sure the radiator and cooling system are clean and functioning properly.

Regularly clean or replace air filters to prevent dust and dirt from entering the engine. Change the oil if you haven't already done so in the spring.

Brakes are critical for safety. Check pads, rotors, and fluid levels, and replace or repair as necessary.

Fall: Preparing for the Cooler Rides

As the days get shorter, ensure that all lights and electrical systems are working correctly.

Apply a protective coating to the body of your ATV to guard against the harsher elements of fall and winter.

If you plan to store your ATV for the winter, take the time to properly prepare it to prevent any damage during the off-season.

Winter: Storage and Off-Season Care

Keep the battery charged and consider removing it if you're storing the ATV for an extended period.

Add a fuel stabilizer to prevent the fuel from deteriorating and causing issues when you start up your ATV again.

Store your ATV in a dry, cool place and cover it to protect it from dust and moisture.
