How to Extend the Lifespan of Your ATV

Want to make your ATV last longer and require fewer visits to the service department? Utilize the following strategies for extending the lifespan of your quad.

Perform Regular ATV Maintenance

Performing regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your ATV. Keep up with oil and filter changes, make sure the tires are inflated to the proper air pressure, inspect the various systems regularly, and so on. By maintaining your ATV, you’ll also be able to spot potential issues early on and address them before they cause serious damage.

Don’t Overwork Your Four-Wheeler

Just like any other vehicle, a quad will start to show wear and tear if it’s worked too hard. Be mindful of how often you take the four-wheeler on challenging terrain and always stay within the model's limitations.

Store Your ATV Properly

Storing your quad properly is another important step in prolonging its lifespan. If you can, keep the four-wheeler in a garage or shed to protect it from the elements. If that’s not possible, invest in a good ATV cover to keep it clean and dry when it’s not in use.

Keep the ATV Clean

Keeping your ATV clean is important for both its appearance and its longevity. Dirt can get into the air filter and clog up the vents. Caked-on mud can eventually cause rust to develop. Regular cleaning can help prevent these issues.
