Fluid Changes
Fluid changes are an important part of routine maintenance that should not be overlooked. Sure, you can get this done for cheap at a mechanic, but taking it on yourself is even cheaper! The fluids that need to be flushed out and replaced on a regular basis are the oil, the coolant, and the brake fluid. Be sure to check the user manual provided with your UTV for specific directions on how and when to replace them.
Adjustments
Before each ride, you should inspect your UTV and address any maintenance issues that come up. There are some instances where you might need the expertise of a mechanic, and others where a simple adjustment will do the trick. Sometimes, all you need to do is tighten the nuts and bolts to eliminate a worrisome rattle. Adjusting the tire pressure is another simple task – you can do this at a gas station, or at home with a portable air compressor.
Part Replacement
If you are serious about the DIY approach, you can learn how to replace some of the most critical components of your UTV. Some parts that need to be replaced every so often include the spark plugs, the drive belt, and the brake pads. These are not complicated tasks, but they will require a close inspection of the user manual.
