Safety Tips for ATV Riders

One thing every good ATV rider should prioritize is safety on and off the trails. As fun as they can be, ATVs are powerful pieces of equipment that can cause harm if not handled properly.

That’s why our team at Roseville Motorsports in Rocklin, CA goes the extra mile to educate our customers on best practices while handling their ATVs. We recommend following these tips if you want to protect yourself and your quad from serious harm.

Pre-Ride Inspections

Pre-ride inspections can save you from serious injuries due to malfunctions while driving. It’s a good practice to have a checklist and inspect vital parts of your vehicle such as your tires, battery, engines, etc. before each ride. This is a sure way to reduce your chances of nasty accidents while on the trails.

Gear

Another golden rule for handling ATVs is having the right protective gear on at all times. You should avoid hopping on your four-wheeler if you’re lacking a high-quality helmet, gloves, goggles, and any other items that will keep you safe while riding. Failing to follow this simple step can result in life-threatening mishaps in the future.

Servicing

No matter how expensive or powerful our vehicle is, all ATVs need professional servicing to function at their best. Riding your quad with existing damage will add to its wear and tear and shorten its lifespan drastically. It can also lead to mechanical failures mid-ride that are sure to put you and your fellow riders in harm’s way.
