e.g., AT 22x7-11 or similar (check manual for exact specifications)
Tire Size Rear:
e.g., AT 22x10-9 or similar (check manual for exact specifications)
Atv Safety Considerations:
ATVs require proper protective gear (helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, long sleeves/pants) and adherence to safe riding practices as outlined in the manual.
Braking System Type:
Drum brakes (front and rear) on most models, or a combination of drum and disc. Refer to manual for specific brake configuration.
Handlebar Design:
Designed for control and stability, with handguards often included or available as accessories.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 1000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first (refer to manual for exact interval and conditions).
Air Filter Cleaning:
Regular inspection and cleaning, especially in dusty conditions. Replacement intervals as per manual.
Spark Plug Service:
Inspection and gap adjustment at regular intervals, replacement as needed.
Chain Lubrication Adjustment:
Frequent lubrication and checking chain tension are critical for drivetrain longevity.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid (check manual for specific recommendation).
Coolant Type:
N/A (Air-cooled engine).
Common Wear Items:
Clutch components, brake pads/drums, suspension bushings, carburetor seals, and electrical connectors can be common wear items on vintage ATVs.
Carburetor Performance:
Carburetors can be susceptible to clogging from old fuel or debris, affecting performance. Jetting can require adjustment for altitude or modifications.
Electrical Gremlins:
Corrosion on electrical connectors, aging wiring, and rectifier/regulator failures can lead to charging issues or no-spark conditions.
Suspension Wear:
Worn suspension bushings and seals can impact handling and ride comfort.
