ATVs are a lot of fun, but they do need maintenance. Even if you know very little about ATVs, you should learn to do the basics yourself. A $3 filter beats the heck out of replacing a many hundreds of dollars part that failed due to damage from a clogged filter. It's just good sense, safety wise and wallet wise to do ATV maintenance.
If you take an ATV riding class, along with all the great tips and techniques that even an experienced ATV rider may not know, you will learn how to do a pre-ride inspection that will teach you to look over the main aspects of your ATV so you don't have to worry about it breaking down in the middle of a great time. During these classes, don't be timid about asking questions. If you're not sure about something, just ask. That is what the instructors are there for.
You will learn to check your brakes, brake pads, spark plugs, wheels and tire pressure, suspension, silencer - you'll want to repack it every so often. Make sure your brake cables are well lubed and a big pointer you'll learn in class is to have your tire sealant with you as it can save the day!
Find a class near you and take it. Even if you think you know all you can about ATVs, you're sure to learn at least one thing and knowledge equals safety!
