DIY ATV Maintenance Tips

While some complex ATV maintenance tasks are best left to the professionals, you might be surprised by all the things you can do at home to keep your quad running well. If you’re interested in learning more about DIY ATV maintenance, check out this guide from the experts at Edmonton Wholesale RV Depot.

Check Your Owner's Manual

Always consult your owner’s manual on matters related to ATV maintenance. Your owner’s manual can provide invaluable, model-specific information on how to repair or maintain your quad. It can also help you set up a maintenance schedule to help ensure that you complete all your ATV maintenance tasks on time.

Maintain Tire Pressure

The best way to ensure that your ATV’s tires work better and last longer is to keep them within the manufacturer-recommended pressure range. Luckily, tire pressure gauges are inexpensive, compact, and easy to find. We recommend measuring your tire pressure in the morning to get a more accurate reading. Making sure that your ATV’s tires are neither under-inflated nor over-inflated will go a long way toward preventing a blowout.

Maintain the Brakes

A fully functional set of brakes is crucial to a safe ATV riding experience. We recommend checking your brakes regularly. Be sure to check both the quality and quantity of your brake fluid. You also need to inspect the brake pads to ensure they are still thick enough to function and that the routing on the brake lines is tight enough.
