How many miles should i get out of my atv tires


How Long Do ATV Tires Last? When Should They Be Replaced?

You may already know that having the right tires is the single most crucial factor in ATV performance. Riding on tires that are well overdue for being replaced is not only dangerous but also ruins your bike’s potential. 

But what kind of mileage should you expect from a set of new ATV tires? And how do you know when it’s time to replace them? I did a little digging to give you an idea of what to expect.

So, how long do ATV tires last? ATV tires typically last from just a few hundred to 4-5000 miles or more. How long they last depend on what surface you ride on, tire style, rubber hardness and quality, age, and a range of other factors. Expect 1-2 years if you ride a lot on the road or 5-10 years if you keep off the road.

Why do ATV tires wear so fast?

ATV tires will typically wear much faster than a set of car tires or any other on-road tire, for that matter.  

On-road tires are designed for optimal grip on asphalt and packed gravel surfaces, high comfort, low tire noise, and longevity.

They use continuous thread patterns with as much rubber in contact with the road as possible to achieve this. There are just a few threads and grooves to handle water and improve heat dissipation. 

On the other hand, typical ATV tires are designed with off-road traction and rough trails in mind. They use large rubber lugs that are sometimes spaced inches apart. 

As a result, you will have much less rubber touching the ground when you ride on hard surfaces like asphalt. There is less rubber to wear on before you start losing thread depth. The spacing between the lugs causes more friction noise and tire wear than with an on-road tire.

So if you don’t want your ATV tires to wear fast, keep them off the road as much as possible.

Real-world examples of how different ATV tires wear

Here are a few real-world examples of how various ATV tire types perform regarding tire wear. I’ve included a mix of personal hands-on experience and user reviews reported on forums, youtube videos, and tire reviews. 

The typical stock tire

Stock tires are typically cheap and light to keep cost and overall weight down. Some have decent wear, but you never get a premium.

They are typically all-terrain tires that will last year after year if you do most of your riding on softer surfaces. 

But if you do a lot of trail riding, you will often find that stock tires wear fast. If you take your stock tires rock climbing, you will often find that the sharp rocks will shear tire lugs.

Stock Can-Am tire – Carlisle AT489

The XT models (as well as others) come stock with Carlisle AT489 tires. These are typically the type of tires you will be upgrading from. They last quite long but are not very puncture resistant.

One user on https://www.can-amforum.com reports running 1700 miles on hard-packed dirt roads and has about 40-50% tread left on the rear tires and 90% on the front.  

A second user has ridden 2500 miles and has about 70% left.

Other users share that these tires should last 4000 miles on paved roads and even longer in sand or dirt. They will probably dry rot before wearing out the thread.  

Stock Polaris tire: Carlisle PXT (Polaris Extreme Tire)

My Polaris Sportsman XP1000 came with stock tires from Carlisle. They are a different model than you will find on some Can-Am.

After about 900 miles, where a good chunk of the miles have been on asphalt, they are still in good shape. There is some rounding on the leading edge of the lugs, but that is to be expected.

I often ride on asphalt to get to my off-road riding areas.

Other users report getting about 4-5000 miles out of them, as long as you don’t tear the relatively thin sidewalls.

They are more durable and puncture-resistant than the 489s from the same brand. 

ITP Terra Cross R/T

https://utvactionmag.com has tested the Terra Cross tires and finds that they still offer a decent sharp edge after doing a little over hundred miles of mixed terrain driving and show very little wear overall.  

They also highlight the benefit you get from choosing a tire with a non-directional tread pattern. This feature allows you to flip the tires at the half-life mark for a fresh, new, effective edge. 

One user on https://www.hondaatvforums.net reports that he has been riding his Terra Cross tires on the road for a couple of months, making them wear fast.

GBC Dirt Commander and STI Roctane

A user at https://polarisatvforums.com has been running Maxxis Bighorns, GBC Dirt Commanders, Kenda HTRs, Kenda Executioners, and STI Roctanes over several seasons. The Dirt Commanders were the worst of these tires when it comes to wearing (they grip nice tho). After just 500 miles, the rear tires were worn out. 

ATVIllustrated.com has reviewed the tires and reports that the lugs will show wear quickly on the leading edge, but after this “break-in period,” they tend to settle in and wear at an average pace.

The Dirt Commanders have a wide range of use but tend to wear fast when riding on abrasive terrains like rough rocks. The GBC Kanati Mongrels are a better alternative for this type of terrain because of the ten-ply rating and road-tough threads.

The longest-lasting of these models were, by far, the STI Roctane tires. They would last him about two seasons. The others on the list would last him about one season, in comparison.

STI Roctane is a hard terrain tire that will last several thousand miles, even when riding on abrasive terrains like rough rocks or even pavement. They are very puncture resistant and offer reinforced sidewalls. 

Maxxis Bighorns

Bighorns is another very popular all-terrain tire. Because of their popularity, there are a lot of reviews to be found. Regarding tire wear, they are long-lasting, extremely durable, and offer good puncture resistance because of their thick sidewalls. 

Don’t be surprised if you run them 1-2000 miles before seeing any noticeable sign of wear. Some users report having a lot of tire tread left even after 5000 miles or more. 

Maxxis Mudzilla 

Excellent mud tire all around. Excellent wear pattern, very long-lasting. Good threads, not as aggressive threads as implement-style tires. 

Gorilla Silverback MT2

The MT2 version of their popular predecessor features an improved thread design with aggressive two-inch lugs that offer reasonable wear characteristics. Note that the old model is prone to pealing the lugs under high horsepower, which would create leaks where the lug meets the tire.

Interco Swamp Lite 

Soft rubber tires with a semi-aggressive lug pattern. They will wear quite fast if you use them a lot on asphalt or other hard surfaces. Some users report wearing them out entirely after 1500 miles without even running that much on hard surfaces. 

SuperATV Assassinator

Probably the best-wearing mud tire out there. One user reports abusing them on shale rock in the mountains without showing any signs of wear. 

Juggernauts

One of the most extreme ATV mud tires out there. They have extreme lugs, are extremely heavy, and have a terrible reputation for wear.

Highlifter Outlaw 3

Outlaws, with their flat tire profile, offer good wear characteristics. But being an extreme mud tire, they will wear faster than many all-terrain tires. 

Kenda Bear Claw HTR

A relatively hard and durable all-terrain tire. After 1200 miles, they show very little wear. They do not wear as good as Bighorns, but even if you use them hard, you should have no problem getting 4-5000 miles or more out of them. They are not very puncture resistant tho.

Tire performance vs. longevity

A common misconception people have when buying ATV tires is that as long buy a high-performance tire, you will also get a long-lasting tire.

Instead, it’s usually the other way around. 

High-performance tires are not going to last several thousand miles. That’s not what they are designed to do. It’s just part of the price you pay for getting that high performance.

At the same time, long-lasting tires will not perform as well as some of their high-performance counterparts. 

How does rubber softness/hardness affect tire wear?

High-performance tires are typically made from a softer rubber compound. The soft and almost sticky rubber makes for optimal traction in snow, ice, mud, and hard gravel trails. 

But, they come with the downside of wearing faster than a tire made from a harder rubber recipe would.

Not all ATV tires use the same rubber compound.

The type of surface you ride on matters the most for tire wear

The type of surface you do most of your ATV riding on is the most critical factor to how long your tires will last. As a general rule of thumb, tire wear will increase in conjunction with higher surface traction. 

This graph will give you a general idea of how different surfaces affect tire wear.

Rough surfaces like asphalt and pavement tires will wear down soft and big-lugged ATV tires in no time. It’s like riding on sandpaper. 

Riding on sharp rocks will also wear tires quite fast, depending on what type of tire you use. As the tire spins to gain traction, it can get damaged where big chunks of rubber fall off. Doing a lot of rock climbing with a soft tire will result in a tire that does not last very long.

At the other end of the scale, you have wet mud or snow riding. These surfaces provide minimal traction as well as very little wear. The tire will only slide against the surface without wearing much.

When running typical ATV tires, it’s generally advised to stay away from hard road surfaces as much as possible. These tires are designed with off-road riding in mind and will last much longer if you stick to the dirt. 

There is no exact science to this, but this graph will give you a general idea of how much the surface you ride on will impact your ATV tires’ life expectancy. 

How does tire quality affect tire longevity?

Tire quality usually matters a lot to how long an ATV tire lasts. Some cheap Chinese brands offer tires with cool thread patterns at a very reasonable price, but you usually get what you pay for. 

They use poor rubber quality that will likely crack long before they wear down to keep the price low.

Another way to tell a cheap tire from a high-performance tire is how they give up traction when you’re cornering. 

Cheap and hard tires will lose all traction instantly with little or no warning. On the other hand, a high-quality tire should provide more progressive feedback where it “holds on” to the traction and loses it gradually. 

This gives you much better control of your bike. As soon as you feel the bike begins sliding, you can just let off the throttle slightly to regain traction and control.

How do different styles of ATV tires hold up against each other?

Moderate mud tires compared to a typical stock tire. The IPT mud tire has about 200 miles on it, while the Carlisle has about 900.

An ATV tire is not just an ATV tire. There are many different styles of tires that are specially made for various types of riding. If you use the wrong type, your ATV will not only under-perform, the tires will wear much faster than necessary.

Mud tires

Mud tires are designed with one task in mind; getting through the deepest and wettest mud you can find. They typically have aggressive implement style thread patterns and are made of medium to soft rubber. 

Not all, but many mud tires will wear fast when you ride them in anything but mud and snow. The big lugs provide a small surface area to wear on, as well as create high friction.

Hard terrain / Rock climbing tires

These types of tires will often feature a hard and long-lasting rubber compound. They have a high ply rating in the 8-12 ply range and often feature a steel-belted design for a more puncture and rip-proof tire core. 

Most of the tires are radials that won’t have as stiff and tear-resistant sidewalls as a bias-ply tire. To compensate, they add extra shoulder lugs to protect the sidewalls and rim.

Hard terrain tires are a good choice for on-road use as many of them are DOT rated, whereas all-terrain tires typically are not. They make for a more comfortable and quieter ride and will not wear as fast as an all-terrain tire when riding on-road or on trails.    

General-purpose / all-terrain

All-terrain tires are what most ATV owners use. This type of tire is designed to give you an optimal balance between overall performance and longevity. However, they will not handle the most extreme riding types, such as waist-deep mud bashing or racing, very well. 

All-terrain tires are quite similar to hard-terrain tires. Some features that separate them are lug patterns that will handle both rocky and muddy (hard and soft) terrain types and a slightly softer rubber compound on the all-purpose tires for increased comfort.

However, the tread pattern on all-terrain tires is not as aggressive as on mud tires. Therefore they will not wear as fast when riding on harder surfaces.  

Racing tires

Racing tires are designed for maximum traction and performance over shorter periods. They are made out of light and soft materials and will wear relatively fast. 

You will also need to replace them more often than most other tires. You know it will affect performance as soon as you start seeing any sign of wear.

A typical racing tire, the Maxxis Razr.

Sand tires/paddle tires

Sand tires are made for playing on sand dunes or sand drag racing. They should not be used on any other surface than loose sand. If you do, you will likely wear and damage them quite fast. 

Some hard spots, like the trails out to the dunes or the occasional rock, cannot be avoided. But if you can avoid tearing up the paddles, a set of sand tires should last you several seasons, or about 500-1000 miles or even more.

What happens when an ATV tire gets too old?

It’s quite common that people running medium to hard rubber compound tires and generally staying off the road will find that it’s not tire wear that determines when they need to be replaced.  

Even after many years, there is still plenty of tread left, but the rubber starts going hard and cracking due to old age and heat, and UV exposure.

Which are better for tire wear, radial or ply?

There are two main types of ATV tire construction; bias-ply and radials. I won’t go into the technicalities, but the main difference is how the different layers that make up the tire are placed relative to each other (radial vs. diagonal).

Each type has a set of pros and cons. Which of the types will last the longest depends on what kind of riding you do the most.

Radials generate less heat than bias-ply when riding at higher speeds on hard surfaces. More heat means faster tire wear. That’s why radials will last longer if you do a lot of on-road riding. 

When it comes to off-road riding, it is usually not ordinary tire wear as much as sudden damage that will end a tire’s life.

Radials are more puncture resistant in the threaded part of the tire. At the same time, they have thinner and much more flexible sidewalls that are more prone to cuts and tears. A torn-up sidewall will leave the tire useless in an instant.  

That’s why radial tires tend not to last as long as a bias-ply tire if you are into rock climbing and other challenging off-road ridings where you encounter many sharp objects. 

That being said, radials offer many other benefits, such as higher riding comfort, less vibration, and lower fuel consumption. That’s why many choose them over bias-ply despite the higher risk of a torn sidewall.

When should you replace your ATV tires?

There is no answer to this question that will fit everyone. It all depends on what factors are important to your typical riding applications.

Racing tires – where performance matters the most

If you are into ATV racing, you will probably replace the tire after each race. Any rounding of the lugs will reduce grip and slow you down in a race.

On a budget – when longevity matters the most

If your goal is to get the most life as possible out of your tires, you will have to make some sacrifices regarding performance.

You may run it until it wears down entirely or starts deteriorating and cracking due to old age, heat, UV exposure, or being of bad quality. 

When most riders will replace a tire

Most riders will be looking to replace a tire when it wears so much that it’s beginning to make a bigger negative effect regarding traction than they want.

The first sign of tire wear is rounding of the thread pattern. The more rounded the lugs are the less grip the tire offer. 

How much traction loss you are willing to accept is a personal preference. 

Some will replace the tires as soon as the lugs are beginning to see some rounding. Others find the traction to still be acceptable at 50% tread-wear. 

You should definitely replace your tires if…

If you check any of these boxes, it’s definitely time to replace your tires:

  • For on-road use, you need as much thread depth as required to keep them road-legal. This number varies depending on where you live.  
  • When you come to the point where you have to plug your tires regularly or even have to install tubes to get them to hold air, it’s time to look for a new set. A few plugs are OK, but you know that the tires are too old or too worn when they become the norm.
  • When the tire starts cracking due to UV exposure and old age.
  • When the threads are more than 50% worn. At this point, the negative effect on traction is getting to a point where it may affect safety.
  • Or if your tire looks anything like the tire at the beginning of this post.

How Long Do ATV Tires Last And What Affect Tire Lifespan

by Calvin Anderson

The lifespan of tires is one of the common concerns of most ATV riders.

Questions like how long ATV tires last and how many many miles ATV tires last are very common.

ATV tire brands do not mention the lifespan of their tires, but by the tires test, we can know how long they last on average.

So let’s know how long ATV tires last, what factors affect ATV tire lifespan, and how to make ATV tires last longer here.

How Long Do ATV Tires Last?

ATV tires’ lifespan depends on driving habits, road conditions, tire design, tire age, and the quality of tires. On average, an ATV tire lasts between 6000 to 8000 miles and 3 to 5 years.

How Long Do ATV Tires Last

The lifespan of all-terrain vehicle tires mostly depends on the driver of that ATV.

There are also a variety of factors that can directly affect ATV tire longevity.

Becoming aware of your ATV tires’ condition can help you to make your ATV tires last longer.

Factors That Affect ATV Tire LifespanFactors That Affect ATV Tire Lifespan

For long-lasting ATV tires, you must know what factors are affecting your ATV tire lifespan the most.

Here are some common factors that affect ATV tire lifespan:

  1. Driving Habits
  2. Tire Pressure
  3. Quality of Tires
  4. Road Conditions
  5. Tire Age
  6. Overloading

1. Driving Habits

If you know ATV riders’ diving habits, you can answer the question of how long ATV tires last easily.

Proper driving habits affect ATV tire lifespan the most. You can make your ATV tires last longer with better ATV driving habits.

Driving habits also include maintenance of tires which is another crucial factor for ATV tires’ lifespan.

2. Tire Pressure

Tire pressure is always important to riding an ATV. By considering various factors, you need to set ATV tire pressure.

Too low and high tire pressure affect ATV tire lifespan. So, ensure the right tire pressure for your ATV before riding.

3. Quality of Tires

You find plenty of tire manufacturers, even country-wise. But, choosing the best quality tire for your quad is another challenge.

Typically, a quality ATV tire lasts longer than a defective ATV tire.

American-made ATV tires have a good reputation for their tire quality, but they are also expensive.

4. Road Conditions

Road condition is another point that you should know when you want to know about an ATV tire lifespan.

The road condition you ride your ATV directly affects ATV tire longevity.

ATVs are specialized for riding off-road rather than on highways. So, if you ride your ATV off-road, the tire will last longer.

5. Tire Age

When your ATV tire becomes old, it gradually loses its traction and grip.

An ATV tire can last anywhere between 2 to 5 years, and tire age also reduces tire lifespan.

6. Overloading

Overloading is bad for ATV tires, but it is also not good for ATV riding safety.

So, you should avoid overloading your ATV in every situation.

How Many Miles Do ATV Tires LastHow Many Miles Do ATV Tires Last

Typically, an ATV tire lasts between five to eight thousand miles. ATV tires’ maximum and minimum miles lifespan are also conditional on various factors.

Road condition means the terrain you ride your ATV is the first thing you must consider when you need to know how many miles your ATV tires will last.

Your ATV tires will last more miles if you ride on mud or sand than riding on the rock.

After more than 8000 miles, most ATV tires need to be replaced to avoid unexpected situations.

How To Make ATV Tires Last LongerHow To Make ATV Tires Last Longer

In the condition of your ATV tires, you are able to make your ATV tires last longer by following some working tips.

Here are some tips to make ATV tires last longer:

  • Keep the tire clean:
    Using tire dressing, you should clean your ATV tire at least once a month.

Conclusion

To get the right idea of how long ATV tires last, you need to consider a variety of factors.

Regular maintenance of your ATV tires can increase the lifespan of your ATV tires.

In order to make your ATV tires last longer, you should also improve your riding habit.

Ensure the quality of tires that you purchase for your ATV because it also affects how long your ATV tires last.

Hey, I’m Calvin from Arizona. Living in Arizona makes me an adventurous and off-road enthusiast, I must say. Raiding ATVs, UTVs and Dirt bikes with my friends is all about me. And offroadlord.com is the way to let you guys know everything about off-roading.

ATV tire pressure. What should be?

Tire pressure affects the flotation, stability, handling and smoothness of the ATV. Therefore, it is important to adhere to the optimal parameters, which depend on the type of coating and load. What pressure is recommended for CFMOTO ATVs - we will tell in the article.

What is tire pressure measured in

CFMOTO indicates the recommended pressure in kilopascals (kPa). 1 kPa equals 0.0098 atmospheres (atm) or 0.145 pounds-force per square inch (psi). It is important not to confuse these units of measurement when inflating tires. nine0003

Where to find the recommended tire pressure for CFMOTO ATV

The recommended tire pressure for CFMOTO ATV is indicated in the owner's manual and on the vehicle itself in the area of ​​the left rear fender.

Tires are marked with the maximum pressure they can withstand.

What is low tire pressure and when to use it

Low tire pressure improves off-road capability, allowing the ATV to sink less in mud, swamp, snow or sand. This is due to the fact that the contact patch of the tire with the surface increases, and the specific pressure on the ground decreases. In addition, poorly inflated tires are less “blurred” with mud, more easily leave the rut and roll over obstacles such as trees, stumps or large stones lying on the road. nine0003

Most CFMOTO ATVs are equipped with ANCLA tires, the normal pressure of which, according to the manufacturer, is 45 kPa. This is sufficient for off-road routes. A reasonable lower limit is up to 35 kPa. It is possible to bleed even more air only if there are beadlocks - devices that securely press the tire to the side of the disk.

All-terrain vehicle tires with a car seat must have a higher pressure - from 70 kPa, the exact parameters depend on the model.

If the pressure is too low:

  • increased risk of puncture;
  • dirt and debris are packed between the disc and the tire, due to which the air is gradually bled;
  • disassembly is possible - separating the tire from the disk;
  • markedly worse handling and stability.

When is the best time to inflate your tires

It is best to inflate your tires before long trips on asphalt or other hard surfaces. This will increase stability and control in corners and on a straight line - due to less deformation of the rubber. In addition, the tread will not wear out as much. nine0003

The pressure should also be increased when transporting a heavy load and a passenger.

Optimum tire pressure for a CFMOTO ATV with a motorcycle seat when driving on asphalt is 70-90 kPa.

If the pressure is too high:

  • the load on the suspension and steering elements is increased, as the tire dampens bumps worse;
  • wear of the central part of the tread is accelerated;
  • ATV becomes less comfortable. nine0030

How often and how to check the tire pressure

It is advisable to do this before each ride - when the tire is cold. You will need a low pressure gauge to check. When using a conventional car, there will be a large error.

Total

The recommended tire pressure for CFMOTO ATVs is 45 kPa. For all-terrain vehicles (SSV), the optimal parameters are different - more than 70 kPa. Before carrying a passenger and a heavy load or a long drive on asphalt, you can pump more. nine0003

If the pressure is too low, there is a risk of breakage, deterioration of handling and stability. If it is too high, it becomes uncomfortable to ride, all the bumps in the road are felt, the load on the suspension and steering increases.

How fast does a 125cc ATV go? Most Comprehensive Review of 2023

Given that you are here and want to recognize the full throttle of a 125cc ATV, you need to know what an ATV is and also how fast a 125cc ATV is. nine0003

For beginners, ATV is short for ATV. All-terrain vehicles of all types of soil provide the ATV with a large area.

125cc ATV mainly for youth. This is a safe choice for beginner bikers who are new to it and also want to learn more about driving as well as the roads.

Whenever we talk about 125cc, it is considered to be in middle category because it can reach top speed and provide enough traction to help you get through the dirt without any problem.

When it comes to ATVs, top speed refers to the highest degree of speed a vehicle can achieve when traveling on the road. Full throttle varies from bike to bike and depends on a variety of factors which consist of the types of materials used and the components installed.

Contents

What does 125cc mean?

What does 125cc mean? The 125cc engine will take up 125cc, while the larger 700cc engine will take up 700cc. The more cubic centimeters an engine has, the more air and fuel it can consume, which usually results in more power.

How fast is a 125cc ATV? MPH

125cc ATV can go up to 40 mph ideally . You can slow down to 10 mph and sometimes 5 mph, or you can hit the gas all the way to 40 mph. Youth ATVs are equipped with speed limiters to control their speed. .

How powerful is a 125cc ATV?

Thanks to its many uses, the 125cc ATV The is an excellent choice as a starter for teenagers as well as the for younger children as it is fast enough to keep their passion going as well as running at around 22 mph or 38 mph. Most importantly, this is a great beginner quad, not powerful enough for serious riding technique, jumping, big climbs or racing. nine0003

Choose the right engine size

It is extremely important to choose the right engine for you or your child when buying an ATV.

Depending on the power of the cylinder, you will surely be able to choose the right ATV for you. Look into joining a list for a better understanding.

Approximately 70 cc - they are used for children up to 11 years of age.

70 to 90 cc cm - they can be used by teenagers aged 12 to 15 years. nine0026

125 to 250 cc cm - suitable for both beginner teenagers and adults.

Cylinder size can start at 50cc and go up to 700cc.

But keep in mind that height is also an important factor when choosing an ATV. Classification from 125 to 250 cu. CM is ideal for beginners who are not familiar with wilderness riding and are unfamiliar with rough or rocky roads. One of the most practical tools for adults or professionals ranges from 450cc to 700cc. nine0003

Is the 125cc ATV safe for kids?

If you are looking for an ATV for your child, you don't have to worry as you stay in the best area. From the list above, it can be seen that engines from junior to 90cc are suitable for children. But to boost the performance of an ATV, different brands have gone to great lengths to find some fantastic 125cc ATVs specifically made for kids.

They are supervised by professionals to make sure they are absolutely safe for children. Each kids quad has unique features as well as additional safety options. If your child loves the outdoors and travelling, an ATV can offer the best taste of nature and flexibility to their hearts, while the controls are still in your hands. nine0003

If you do a thorough research, you will certainly be able to find the right one for your child. A couple of points that might help is to make sure you buy one with a speed limiter and it has both headlights and taillights installed as they help a lot.

What is the weight limit for a 125cc ATV?

ATV suppliers generally do not set biker weight limits for their youth models. It has optimum load capacity 364 lbs , engine stop button, and push button starter controls. The highest center of mass is cunning.

Is the 125cc ATV suitable for adults?

While a full-size ATV with a huge engine can fit an adult, the risk of injury to a teenager on such a device is much higher. For shorter cyclists, the 125cc ATV is a good choice for the . The 125cc ATV is not the smallest available, however it is not exceptionally large or powerful compared to other models. nine0003

How do I increase the top speed of my 125cc ATV?

1. Use the best fuel.

A quick and easy change you can make is to start using higher octane gasoline. Many ATVs don't need to use higher octane fuel from the manufacturer, but this can help. increase the efficiency of your engine .

If you can, do not use ethanol-based fuel, and also choose fuel with a higher octane rating of . It will cost a few dollars even more than inexpensive fuel, but you will definitely notice the difference when you step on the gas pedal.

Higher octane gasoline burns cleaner, providing better gas mileage and much less wear on the mechanical parts of your gas system. Of course, the best gas mileage on an ATV is not as noticeable, but there is a difference in performance.

2. Upgraded air filter.

You must be regular inspection of the air filter and clean it if necessary. If the air filter starts to get overloaded, it will certainly affect the amount of air the engine can use to run. Driving with a clogged air filter is almost like turning off your engine.

The increased air circulation these filters provide will definitely allow your engine to get even more air. Much more air-fuel mixture means even more power. nine0026

3. Adjust the throttle stop screw.

On many ATVs, if you look to the right side of the handlebar where the throttle is, you will see the boss. A screw will stick out on the handle, this is the throttle limiter. Throttle limiter will limit the amount of throttle You can provide your engine while driving.

Be sure to turn the screw all the way out if you are going to use the maximum throttle. To adjust this, simply loosen the lock nut holding the throttle stop screw in place, replace the screw, and tighten the lock nut by pulling it back. nine0003

Check the throttle limiter screw to make sure you are getting the limit your engine can turn on.

4. Change tire size, weight and pressure.

Of course, tire pressure depends on the type of terrain you drive. When riding in sand or snow, lower tire pressure will certainly make you much faster, but on flat, hard surfaces, higher tire pressure can help a lot. more. I would of course is recommended to run at around 5 psi as good throughout the entire number.

If you want to make your ATV faster, you need lightweight aluminum wheels. Tire size can also make a difference, depending on what you're doing. Make sure you choose the right tire size for your ATV and your edges.

If you want much more speed, choose a smaller tire. nine0026 If you need a higher top speed, choose a larger tire. Tire size is very comparable to replacing your tailoring sprocket. A larger tire will need even more power to convert it, but will cover a larger area in one change. I usually don't change tire sizes unless I'm trying to increase the ground clearance of my quad.

5. Add nitrous oxide.

Adding a nitrogen kit to your ATV can give you a nice speed boost when you really need it. In fact, they are not that difficult to install or use.

There are several different nitrous oxide configurations you can choose from, such as wet or completely dry.

6. Update the exhaust.

Upgrading the exhaust system on your ATV can be expensive and require some work. However, this is a surefire way to improve the performance of your ATV. Since more air can come out of the engine, it can take in much more air. nine0026 . This unit works perfectly in parallel with a high flow air consumption system.

If you can't pay for an entire exhaust system from the exhaust manifolds down, you can always get an efficient overhead exhaust. It won't boost power as much as an efficient exhaust system, but it will certainly give you a bit more horsepower.

Generally, service exhaust systems are larger than the supply, or are definitely tapered for gradual increase in size. This provides even more airflow through the engine. nine0025 With even more combinations of air and gas, you will really feel even more power and speed while riding.

7. Change the gear ratio.

To change the equipment ratio, you will definitely need to get a new front or rear sprocket and change the existing one. Many cyclists do what's called "downshifting" where you get a big rear sprocket to increase speed. This will cause your full throttle to drop. nine0003

To "prepare" you need to get a smaller rear sprocket which will certainly increase your full throttle but reduce your speed.
You need to make a decision whether you want to increase speed or increase full throttle.

8. Install the large diameter kit.

Installing a large bore kit may require a lot of effort, but will greatly increase productivity. Acceleration will be faster and top speed will certainly increase as well. Usually you increase the size of your engine. nine0003

With more sets of large bores, you will definitely be changing piston and cylinder for a larger size. This allows more air/gas mixtures to enter the combustion chamber, greatly improving the performance of your ATV.

Conclusion

After all this talk, it's safe to say that the performance of an ATV depends a lot on performance as well as engine size.
