Routine Maintenance, Tools, and Gear
Off-roading puts a strain on your ATV, so it’s important to perform the scheduled maintenance recommended in your owner’s manual. You can avoid a breakdown and possible injury.
Tools and Supplies Checklist
Along with a tool kit and your owner’s manual, carry these other emergency items:
- 25 feet of nylon rope
- Cell phone
