Let it be known that there are some important parts of your 50cc ATV that needs careful checkup regularly. For instance, the air filter, oil and oil filter, tire pressure, nuts and bolts. These are some of the major components that will affect the overall performance of your 50cc ATV. Experts agree that although this is not all there is to check when performing maintenance on your 50cc ATV, checking these important parts should help keep your vehicle in relatively good condition over a long period of time.
Among those mentioned, the air filter on your 50cc ATV is one of the most important components on your vehicle. Dust is everywhere and it will collect in the filter; if you don't regularly clean it, it can and will become clogged. The air filter is your 50cc ATV's lungs. And if it is clogged, your 50cc ATV will find it hard to breathe. An ATV with 50cc cannot perform up to mark if it cannot breathe! Thankfully, however, that the air filter is one of the easiest parts to clean or change. It depends on the type, brand, quality and material of the air filter on your 50cc ATV but most air filters can be removed and changed without using any tools whatsoever.
Clean oil is also very important to the overall performance of the vehicle - in fact, if the oil is never cleaned, it might even cause major problems in the 50cc ATV! Repair or replacement could be your answer if that is so. To prevent that from ever happening, you will need to check or change the oil to make sure that the oil is not contaminated. To make sure the 50cc ATV runs smoothly, here's a tip....change the oil and oil filter every beginning and end of spring and fall. If the 50cc ATV is going to be in storage for the whole winter, change the oil BEFORE you put it into storage. This works pretty much the same way for other vehicles like your car and motorcycles. Just drain and replace the oil according to the manufacturer's direction.
As for tire pressure, make sure you check the pressure on the tire of your ATV every month. To complete the maintenance process, make sure all nuts and bolts on the 50cc ATV is tight. A quick look is not enough! Make sure they're completely tight because you don't want parts falling off when you're riding it, do you?
