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!
