Atv Snow Plow



Winter season is back and the snow is falling just like clockwork. However, you have to go to work and the road is full of snow and ice. The ATV Snow Plow is the best snow plow and it is not only good for plowing away the snow you can also use it during the other seasons to plow away anything that stands in your way.

This snow plow is guaranteed to help you plow way your snow from your driveway in no time at all. There are a variety of snow plows one can get in the market but the snow plow stands out from the rest and is suitable for home use as well as for professional use.

The ATV snow plow uses original blades which do not whither as fast other snow plows. You can operate the snow plow by using the Plow Actuator and also the Universal Manual Lift operator which gives you the option to decide how high or low the blade will be off the ground. This snow plow was designed by the best and its design proves that it is superior to other snow plows by the curvature of the snow blade.

Another good reason to buy this snow plow would be the winch which has the ability to lift the snow plow blade off the road when you are not lifting heavy objects or snow. Basically the winch lifts the snow blade high enough for you to move the snow plow to a different setting.

Racing and Motorcycles and Atvs


While it is not possible to prevent all injuries that occur during exercise and racing/riding, research has shown that injury can be reduced as much as 25% if precautions are taken. Proper conditioning for your sport is essential for injury prevention. Sport specific conditioning programs focus on strengthening the muscles and joints that perform complex and repetitive movements during that specific activity. I recommend a personal physical assessment be performed by a fitness professional to reassure that the proper exercises chosen are strengthening the weakness found during the assessment. Warm ups play a very important part of injury prevention. Warm muscles and joints are less susceptible to injuries. Warm ups should include movements that compliment the athletic activity to be performed. Active stretches as well as static stretches should also be included in the warm up. Incorporate light cardiovascular exercises to elevate body temperature and prepare the heart and lungs for the activities to be performed.

The athlete should avoid engaging in the sport when experiencing fatigue or pain. Performing under these conditions is a set up for a careless injury. Joint pain, tenderness at a specific point, reduced range of motion, swelling, comparative weakness, and numbness and tingling are all signs that should make the athlete aware that there is a problem. If experiencing any of these symptoms I recommend seeing a medical professional for further evaluation.

Fatigue can reduce reaction time, which could possibly create an error in performance resulting in a serious injury. Studies have shown that athletes with high consecutive days of training, experience more injuries. Rest can make you stronger, prevent injuries, reduce fatigue, and decrease poor judgment. Nutrition has a dramatic effect on the body and how it recovers from sports, training, and injuries. Supplying the body with nutrients and hydration helps the recovery rate from training and injury by assuring that the proper building blocks are there to help. A well-hydrated body also performs better reducing the chances of injury. Individualized nutrition programs are the foundation to any successful athletic program. The last and absolute most important thing you can do to prevent injury is wear appropriate protective gear and equipment. Helmets, gloves, goggles, boots, pants, and jerseys are all common items worn by racers and riders. Every time I go to the races I am so surprised by the amount of riders who do not wear elbow and knee-pads, kidney belts, chest protectors, mouth guards, and the all new Leat-Brace (neck protector). The number of atv and motorcycle injuries increases each year because of the numerous people who do not take the proper precautions to protect themselves while riding. Help to keep our sports future a bright one, practice the information provided and ride safe so that you can ride another day.

Chinese Atv Parts


Chinese ATVs these days are not what they used to be termed as “junk ATVs” anymore. Gone are the days where Chinese ATVs are being labeled as “inferior grade” items because most of the Chinese ATV dealers in the country have certainly done their part in ensuring that the quality of Chinese ATVs are improving and yet being sold at affordable prices.

The only setback, I would say, about Chinese ATVs is the availability of its parts in the market. This is because even though the quality of Chinese ATVs has improved, most Chinese ATV dealers still do not carry much of the physical stocks of the parts of the Chinese ATVs in their stores, for reasons unknown to me. Hence, it could be quite a frustrating experience if you are trying to find parts for your Chinese ATVs and it gets worse when you are not able to get them from your Chinese ATV dealer.

Many a times, when you first make your purchase of a Chinese ATV, you would have asked the ATV dealer if the parts of the machine is available, and they’d usually tell you that it is. At www.kazumaatvparts.com, they specialize in all the hard to find ATV parts and you get them at very good prices too, so you don’t have to pay a lot for your Chinese ATV parts. Kazuma ATV Parts strives to provide quality and reliable ATV parts together with great ATV service to the satisfaction of their customers. Their dedicated sales and technical staff are well trained and they have excellent knowledge on all Chinese and Kid ATV parts in the market. With Kazuma ATV Parts, never again will you have nightmares of looking for the parts that you need for your Chinese ATV!

Maintaining your Atv


At Jackel Motorsports, we strive to provide excellent after sales service to our customers and we believe in sharing with ATV riders the importance and proper maintenance of their ATVs at all times.

To remove stubborn gasket remnants or rust from exhaust pipes, try using Scotch-Brite (or something of similar material) pads. Don’t throw away your old toothbrushes as they make wonderful small parts cleaners!

Use the right tools
It is important that you use the proper tools for different parts of your ATV. If you intend to do your own engine work, it is best that you invest in a high quality torque wrench because your engine will definitely last longer when it is properly assembled with the correct torque on the fasteners.

Polish your ATV to keep the mud stain away

It is been said that floor polish used on the plastic parts of your ATV will not only keep your machine shiny – it will also keep the mud away. Even if you do get mud stain on the plastic, you can easily wipe it off with a damp cloth. Check the tires!
Yes, this is a very important part of the ritual of maintaining your precious ATV. Before you ride on your machine, check the tire pressures, as ATV tires are inherently leaky. If you intend to ride on rocky conditions on your machine or if you are going for high speed riding, you need to run higher tire pressures for your ATV.

If you have any great ideas to share, you are always welcome to do so at the forum at www.jackel.com or www.atvoutdoors.net Your fellow ATV riders will thank you for sharing!

Choosing the Right Atv Tire


Choosing the right ATV tire can be a duanting task, especially if one has had no prior experience in shopping for and purchasing an ATV tire. There are so many brands, styles and types available to consumers, that the whole process can be pretty intimidating. However, selecting the right ATV tire doesn't have to be a troublesome process. Knowing specifically what the tire will be used for, and what price you are willing to pay for the tire before you start shopping will help you tremendously while you shop.

Knowing what the ATV tire will be used for sounds simple right? You may be thinking that your ATV just needs a new tire, and any tire will do. There are mud tires, dirt tires, sand tires, tires with extended mobile technology, 4 ply tires, 2 ply tires and several other tires with terms the average human wouldn't understand. Before you start shopping for an ATV tire, take a second to think about what kind of terrain your tire will be rolling over. How long do you want the tire to last? If you want the tire to last long, and you'll be riding over rocks, then you want a durable 6 ply tire, that has extended treads. If your just riding paved roads or beaten dirt paths, a knobby/smoother tires will do. Look at the specifics of the tire, or ask an atv tire dealer to help you.

Prices of ATV tires vary greatly by brand and tire style. Many brands offer the same type of tire, however, some brands will be cheaper than others. Depending on how much you are willing to spend on quality tires, and how long you want the tires to last, you may have to sacrifice some quality for the price you are willing to pay. An ATV tire dealer will have all of the prices ready for you at your disposal.

When choosing an ATV tire, there are many factors to consider.

There are several kinds of ATV lift kits available, most of them designed for a specific machine so it isnt choose-your-preference exercise. You should consider, too, the existing lift your ATV tires allow on your vehicle and decide how much lift you need installed. You need to balance the overall existing conditions of your ATV and the lift youre going to install, if theres a working harmony between them. Besides terrain conditions, ATV lift kits are also used to enhance an ATVs working condition. Here are some samples of ATV lift kits and how it is employed to enhance performance.

Buying A Used ATV


Buying a used atv can be a fun thing. However, beware of the owner who is trying to unload a lemon or an atv that is needing major repairs.

Check out the tires. Raise the ATV up if possible to check the underside. If you're buying a used 4x4 atv, check out the cv joint boots. If the sprockets are worn on one side or bent, it's likely time for a new chain and sprocket.

Then try to move each front wheel in and out from top to bottom and side to side to check for worn wheel bearings and ball joints. Don't forget to remove the seat and check the air box for dirt and water. This is often overlooked and can be a sign of abuse or lack of maintenance on a used atv.

If there is rust, it could indicate costly engine repairs. And yes, gas tanks rust. Take the atv for a spin. Does the atv start right up or is it sluggish? Does it handle well? Does the exhaust have the spark arrestor in place? Many owners remove these. However, National Forest and other public trails require spark arrestor's to be in place. Is the body damaged or cracked? Rough bodies normally indicate rough use.
