Take Advantage of These Tips to Ride Your ATV All Winter<\/h3>\n

Like it or not, winter weather will be here in a few months.\u00a0 There are two camps when it comes to ATV\u2019s in the winter: park them until that white stuff goes away or ride \u2018em all year because months off your wheeler just might give you separation anxiety.\u00a0 This article is for the latter of the two.\u00a0 It\u2019s still relatively warm out so now is the time to get your ATV ready for the winter months to come.\u00a0 Here are 10 things that you can do to make sure the winter months won\u2019t slow you down on your ATV.\"ATV<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Change your oil.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/b>In colder temperatures, the weight of your oil<\/a> matters.\u00a0 The thinner the viscosity of the oil, the easier it is for your machine to turn over in the cold.\u00a0 Synthetic oils may be the best choice because they tend to not thicken as easily as petroleum-based oils.\u00a0 Cold starting your machine can be hard on the motor, so the easier it is to turn over, the better.<\/li>\n
  2. Get snow tires.<\/strong>\u00a0 If you\u2019re going to be running your wheeler through the snow a lot this winter, some good ATV snow tires<\/a> can really make a difference.\u00a0 The lugs on the tires are placed further apart to help clear the snow from the tire to allow them to keep digging forward.\u00a0 If you change to a taller tire, you will also get more clearance to help you from hanging up on the snow pack.<\/li>\n
  3. Add a plow.<\/strong>\u00a0 If you\u2019re going to be riding your wheeler, you might as well make it your work horse, too.\u00a0 You can clear any driveway in no time when you have the right plow<\/a> setup on your wheeler.\u00a0 Save your back and let your ATV be the muscle when it snows.<\/li>\n
  4. Winch your way out.<\/strong>\u00a0 Having a winch in the winter can help you out in multiple scenarios.\u00a0 If you have ever got your ATV stuck in deep snow, you know how much of a workout it can be to get it out.\u00a0 With a winch<\/a> you can hook up to a tree or any other unmovable object and let it do the work for you.\u00a0 Also, if you have a plow, a winch makes lifting it up as easy as hitting a button.<\/li>\n
  5. Stay warm in a cab.<\/strong>\u00a0 If you want to use your wheeler, but just can\u2019t stand being in the cold, then an ATV cab<\/a> could be your ticket to warm city.\u00a0 If that isn\u2019t enough for you, there are also cab heaters<\/a> that can be hooked up to the wheeler\u2019s electrical system to keep you nice and toasty.<\/li>\n
  6. Make sure jetting is correct.\u00a0<\/strong> The cold and dense air in the winter can lean out your ATV so be sure that your jetting is correct.\u00a0 Remember, it\u2019s always safer to be on the richer side, so you might want to step your jets<\/a> up. \u00a0Check with your dealer or Dennis Kirk’s Tech Team to get recommendations for your machine.<\/li>\n
  7. Keep battery charged.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/b>The cold weather will slowly drain the charge from your ATV battery<\/a> and ruin over time if nothing is done about it.\u00a0 There is nothing worse than being stuck out in the middle of frozen nowhere and not being able to start your machine.\u00a0 To avoid this, make sure the battery terminals are clean and corrosion free and attach a trickle charger, like the Battery Tender<\/a>, to keep your battery juiced up when you are not using it.<\/li>\n
  8. Dry out your gas.<\/strong>\u00a0 Keeping the water out of your fuel systems in winter is huge to prevent the gas line freezing.\u00a0 Condensation can occur when the wheeler goes from a cold environment to a warmer one.\u00a0 By adding a fuel stabilizer, the water is not able to form.\u00a0 Another tip is to keep your gas tank completely full to not allow room for condensation to occur.<\/li>\n
  9. Keep your hands warm.<\/strong>\u00a0 For many people, the hands are the first things to get cold when riding, because they are up and exposed on the handlebars.\u00a0 One remedy for this is to add heated grips<\/a>.\u00a0 With a little work, you can hook the grips up to your ATV\u2019s electrical system and keep your hands warm.\u00a0 An easier addition to add warmth is to add some good hand guards<\/a>.\u00a0 This will keep the wind off of your hands.\u00a0 With warmer hands, you will have better control over your machine and be able to stay safer.<\/li>\n
  10. Keep it rust free.<\/strong>\u00a0 With all the rust and wet snow in the winter months, rust and corrosion can occur on your wheeler far more rapidly than in the summer.\u00a0 To keep it clean after riding, wash your ATV and then spray the metal parts down with a water displacement like WD 40.\u00a0 This will keep the water away and not let the metal rust.\u00a0 Also, if you are going to be trailering your machine, consider investing in a cover<\/a> to keep the salt off of your wheeler.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With some new ATV accessories<\/a> and some upkeep, you will be able to enjoy your wheeler all winter long.\u00a0 Don\u2019t wait until the snow is falling to get your machine ready.\u00a0 Now is the perfect time to get ready.<\/p>\n
