Before Riding

Is Your ATV Ready to Ride?

needed. Also make sure the fuel fill cap is

securely fastened.

Check for leaks.

Tires Use a gauge to check the air pressure. Adjust

if needed. Also look for signs of damage or

excessive wear (page 185).

Drivetrain Boots Check for damage (pages 193).

Guards Check for damage or looseness (pages 192).

Nuts & Bolts

Check the wheels to see that the axle nuts are

tightened. Use a wrench to make sure all

accessible nuts, bolts, and fasteners are tight.

Underbody & Exhaust

System

Check for, and remove, any dirt, vegetation

or other debris that could be a fire hazard or

interfere with the proper operation of the

vehicle.

Check for deposits in the drain tube. If

necessary, clean the tube (page 164) and

check the air cleaner housing.
