How You Can Maximize Your All Terrain Vehicle
Suzuki was a leader in the development of 4-wheeled all-terrain vehicle. It sold the first all-terrain vehicle, the 1982 QuadRunner LT125, which was a recreational machine for beginners.
An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) may also be called a quad, a three wheeler, or even a four wheeler. With engine sizes in the range of 50 to 1,000 cc’s, these vehicles roll on low pressure tires, with a comfortable seat and handlebar steering.
ATV’s are available in both gasoline fueled and electric models. Because of the variety of models available, the perfect choice for any use and any operator can be found. Although groups and families often travel in packs on their all terrain vehicles, these are most often single rider vehicles. The operation is much like a motorcycle, with the stability of three or four wheels instead of two. There are models being offered that accommodate one or more passengers in addition to the driver.
After having someone help you get the front of the ATV raised in the air on jack stands or something similar, look over the frame. Keep an eye out for dents or cracks in any of the frame or in the welded parts of the framework. If you find breaks in the frame, my advise is to stop right there and go find another ATV to purchase. You don’t want this one. Breaks or cracks in the frame can be dangerous and cost more money than it’s worth to fix.
Additionally, make certain that the conditions are as ideal as possible when attempting stunts. If the ground happens to be too slick and wet, you definitely should not think of attempting jumps. Remember that even ATV stunt riders who do this on a professional basis pay close attention to riding conditions prior to making any attempts at doing tricks.
