Is Your ATV Ready to Ride?
Fuel
Check the level and add fuel (page 86) if
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 139).
Drive Chain Check the condition and slack. Adjust and
lubricate if needed. Also check the chain slider
and chain roller for wear and replace if
needed (page 147).
Guards
Check for damage or looseness (page 146).
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.
Leaks, Loose Parts Walk around your ATV and look for anything
that appears unusual, such as a leak or loose
cable.
Cable Check the cable housings for wear. Check the
fittings for looseness. Replace or tighten as
needed.

are working properly.
