Investing thousands of dollars in a new ATV can be a rewarding experience given the priceless memories you’ll be making on the trails. However, you’ll want to do all you can to keep getting value for your money and enjoy your ATV as long as possible.

Vallely Sport & Marine in Bismarck, ND, has built our brand around long-term customer satisfaction! To that end, we’ve compiled a list of easy-to-follow maintenance steps you can take to keep your ATV alive and well for a long time.

Check & Change Oil

Checking and changing your oil is a relatively simple task that can be done at home with the aid of your user manual. Most riders opt into learning how to do this themselves so that they can do a quick oil change without having to spend their hard-earned cash on servicing fees. Be sure to keep your oil clean and free of built-up debris and dirt so your ATV can continue to serve you for as long as possible!

Wash Regularly

Given their direct exposure to mud and other forms of dirt, it’s best to wash ATVs as frequently as possible. Mud carries moisture which will likely rust and corrode your ATV if allowed to accumulate for too long. Dried dirt can also harm your paint job when it’s time for removal. Keep your ATV clean and she’ll keep performing at her best!

Change Air Filters

Another crucial element to proper ATV performance is a healthy air filter. This works together with your engine to ensure your ATV has a clean mixture of gas, air, and spark. A dirty filter makes for a compromised ATV, and it will show in its performance as dirt accumulates in your filter.
