| Anyone have any suggestions for me to check? I have 3 ATVs to maintain. Please tell me what you all check. I have not started a List yet for myself. I did think one of the main things to check or just to do is re-grease all of the wheel bearings, due to the water and mud washing the grease out from riding in it different times of the year!
Thanks Ahead of Time,
Rickey |

| its always good to wash your atv/bike, after a ride too.. this dont just make it look good but its helps you see or find a failure after a hard ride and always good to get the dirt and grime out of them bearings and moving parts .. sure there will be times you cant wash it but i always try to keep my junk clean.. |

| Top1banshee, I will need to get with you to take a look at my 3 and show me all that you mention for me to check. What to look for and such. I did find out that my wheel bearings for all 3 of our atvs are sealed. Also on my sons and my bikes the swing arm bushings I do believe have a grease fiting. ILL double check as today is a snow day.

| Nick, I use 2050 in all 3 of our 4 wheelers. Figured the extra protection is needed since 2 of them are air cooled.
