Engine Oil

Before each ride, it’s important to inspect your ATV and make sure any
problem you find is corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a must, not only
for safety, but because having a breakdown, or even a flat tyre, can be a
major inconvenience.
If your ATV has overturned or been involved in a collision, do not ride
the vehicle until it has been inspected by your dealer. There may be
damage or other problems you cannot see.
Check the following items before you get on the ATV:
Check the level and add oil if needed
(page
).
Check for leaks.
Check the coolant level and add coolant if
needed (page
).
Check for leaks.
