Ways to Beef-up Your ATV

Written by admin on October 19, 2009 – 6:33 pm -

With new ATV’s coming out every year, a quad that is king of the mountain one year may fall back to the middle of the pack the next year. And, of course, the more you ride and get comfortable with your ATV, the braver you are going to get and eventually reach a point when you have perfected the art of riding and run into a mud pit you can’t cross or notice that some other quads can get the jump on you. Many people simply trade their quad when this happens, but there are a lot of things you can do to your quad to get even more power or custom tune your ATV to suit the terrain in your area or your riding style. One of the easiest ways to tailor your quad to local riding conditions is to simply change how you grip the ground. There is a... more

Taking Jumps and Sharp Turns on an ATV

Written by admin on September 24, 2009 – 7:41 pm -

You may notice that some ATV riders can make certain obstacles and jumps look like child’s play while others make them look dangerous and impassable. Although superior equipment may be partially responsible, experience and familiarity with your quad is what separates the men from the boys. Riding time is the best way to get better, but there are a few techniques, like making you quad pivot around a corner or taking a jump, that can make riding a lot more fun. If you want to take a corner quickly without losing much speed, depending on your ATV’s setup and capabilities, you may be able to conquer the turn by making your quad pivot around it. Although this technique works best with light, powerful sport quads, it can be used with utility... more

ATV/UTV Winch Maintenance

Written by admin on September 12, 2009 – 12:20 am -

In order to work to its full potential, your off road winch requires regular inspection and maintenance. If you neglect basic maintenance, you could end up with expensive repairs or the cost of a new winch altogether. For the best performance, you should clean, inspect, and service your winch on a regular basis. If your winch is caked with mud and left that way after riding, it will deteriorate much faster than one that's cleaned after every muddy or wet ride. If you want to keep your winch working for you, you're going to need to put a little effort into maintenance. The more you use it, the more often you will need to clean and service it. One of the easiest ways to keep your winch working is to keep it clean. Remove any dead leaves, dirt,... more
