How to Winterize Your ATV

Proper storage of your ATV will help keep it strong through the cold months. Consider the following tips and tricks for winter maintenance. A few simple steps like battery tending and fuel stabilization can go a long way in protecting your ATV until spring.
Fill your ATV with fuel, and include a fuel stabilizer. Turn on the engine and let it run for a couple of minutes so the stabilizer reaches the carburetor.
Lubricate the throttle, chain and clutch cables. If battery posts are corroded, clean the posts and add lubricant to the bolt threads.
To protect the exterior of your ATV, wash it clean of all dirt, bugs and grease and hand wax it once it’s dry.
