It is recommended to change the oil every 20 hours of riding or every 160 miles, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes help maintain engine performance and longevity.
Use a high-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant designed for aluminum engines. Ensure it is pre-mixed with water in a 50/50 ratio for optimal performance.
Check the battery for charge and connections, inspect the starter motor and relay, and ensure the fuel supply is adequate. Also, verify that the kill switch and ignition switch are in the correct positions.
The recommended tire pressure for the front tires is 5 psi and for the rear tires is 5 psi. Always check the pressure when the tires are cold for accurate readings.
Adjust the preload settings on the front and rear shock absorbers to match your weight and riding style. You can also fine-tune the compression and rebound damping for improved handling.
Clean the air filter every 10 hours of use or more frequently in dusty conditions. Replace it if it shows signs of wear or damage to ensure optimal engine performance.
Clean the ATV thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer, and disconnect the battery. Store it in a dry place, and cover it to protect it from dust and moisture.
Stop the ATV immediately and allow it to cool down. Check the coolant level and inspect for leaks. Ensure the radiator is clean and free of obstructions.
Regular maintenance, such as keeping the air filter clean, ensuring proper tire pressure, and using high-quality fuel, can help improve fuel efficiency. Riding smoothly without abrupt acceleration also contributes to better mileage.
Common signs include squeaking or grinding noises, reduced braking efficiency, and a spongy brake lever feel. Inspect the brake pads regularly and replace them when the friction material is worn down.
