Just like any other equipment, ATVs need regular and high-quality maintenance in order to cope with their tasks for a long period of time and be in good technical condition.
ATV Engine Repair
Almost all ATV parts and components are subject to increased wear due to the fact that the engine endures constant variable loads and operates at high speeds, overcoming climbs and difficult sections of the road. As a result, there is a loss of engine power. nine0003
One of the most common causes of engine failure is water hammer, when the pressure in the under-piston space rises sharply.
The cause is water that has entered the combustion chamber while the engine is running. It can come from the air filter or the exhaust pipe. This will repair the ATV's engine. To prevent this from happening, install the snorkel (clean air intake device, prevents water from entering the engine), this will allow the ATV to increase immersion in water. nine0003
Overheating of the motor can also lead to engine failure. In most cases, overcoming difficult sections of the road, the engine overheats and begins to boil. In order to avoid overheating, before operating the equipment, you should let it warm up normally, idle for several minutes.
Signs of ATV engine overheating:
. Loss of engine power
. Engine speed does not develop
. The maximum speed does not develop
. Extraneous noises and smells appeared
. High engine temperature.
Also, the repair of the ATV engine can lead to its banal wear.
Repair of ATV running gear
Shock absorbers and suspensions are the most vulnerable places in a walker.
To avoid repair of the running gear of the ATV, it is necessary to regularly inspect it. If the rubber shock-absorbing seals are badly worn, they must be replaced. nine0003
If the hydraulic shock absorbers have ceased to perform their functions, and oil smudges are found on them, they must also be replaced.
To test the shock absorbers, press firmly on the fender of the machine and then release it sharply. The body of the ATV should return to its original position. If the body began to wiggle, then this is a clear sign of weakened shock absorbers.
ATV suspension repair is needed when it loses its damping properties and the machine loses its control and stability. nine0003
It is possible to repair an ATV on your own, but there is always a chance that due to the lack of proper experience, specialized equipment and tools, it will only make things worse. If you do not want to harm your equipment, then it is better to repair and maintain ATVs in specialized service centers.

A modern car is made up of thousands of parts that define its functionality in different ways. Some of them directly affect the very possibility of driving a vehicle, others - on its safety and quality, and others - on the comfort of the driver and passengers. For example, broken optics do not allow driving at night, especially on a busy highway, so it needs to be replaced with high-quality factory headlights.
And when shock absorbers flow - what to do? The car retains the ability to move. Do I need to repair this part or can I do without replacing it? nine0003
It may seem strange, but many car owners have little idea of the principle of operation of the shock absorber and its purpose. In mechanical engineering, various types of this device are used, but in most modern cars and trucks, telescopic hydraulic models are used, consisting of several elements: nine0070
A shock absorber works by moving a piston inside a cylinder when a mechanical load is applied to it. The piston divides the body into 2 compartments and has small holes through which oil flows from one compartment to another. Due to the small size of these holes, a viscous liquid cannot flow quickly, which creates a certain delay in the movement of the rod and, accordingly, in the transfer of the applied force to them.
nine0003
To understand the purpose of a shock absorber, let's look at how it works within a vehicle's entire wheel suspension system. It allows the car to drive smoothly, not bounce on every obstacle and have a stable and tight connection with the road. To fulfill these functions, it consists of the following parts:
Now let's look at how the entire suspension system works using the example of two common types of obstacles that a car encounters on the road:
If the hole is not too big, the wheel with a working shock absorber simply flies over it. The shock absorber also helps to dampen the longitudinal and transverse inclinations of the vehicle's supporting system (frame or body) during sudden braking, starting or turning. Thus, this suspension element, on the one hand, protects the suspension and the wheel from damage when hitting obstacles, and on the other hand, compensates for vibrations transmitted by the suspension itself to the vehicle body. nine0003
The vast majority of modern cars and trucks use oil or gas/oil shock absorbers. The working fluid in them is a viscous liquid. In good condition, the cylindrical body of the shock absorber is completely sealed. At one end, it has a plug, and the hole through which the piston rod exits is closed with a gland seal (gland), which prevents oil from escaping. In other words, the rack becomes faulty if its tightness is broken.
The immediate reasons why shock absorbers leak are:
Especially often this situation occurs during the start at low temperatures. Unheated oil is too thick and cannot flow through the piston fast enough. nine0070 In most cases, shock absorber leaks are due to careless driving and the driver's lack of experience in properly overcoming obstacles or uneven surfaces. Car owners also often forget that the car's shock absorber system must be allowed to warm up before starting, and immediately subject it to excessive loads, picking up high speed from a standstill.
Regardless of what caused the failure of the shock absorbers, it is manifested by the leakage of hydraulic oil from the body. You can determine this by examining the bottom of the car's suspension. However, in some machines, the shock-absorbing elements are hidden from external observation due to their design. Then you can find out about the breakdown by the following signs:
In general, shock absorber failure is manifested by a deterioration in vehicle handling even with a non-aggressive driving style. Also noticeably increases the braking distance and fuel consumption. nine0003
Breakdown of these parts of the suspension system can occur at any time when hitting an obstacle, which is often found on the roads. Is it possible to continue the journey and drive on your own at least to the nearest service center for repairs? In theory, yes, you can - shock-absorbing elements do not directly affect the ability of the vehicle to move. However, if the shock absorbers are leaking, the consequences of driving such a car can be deplorable:
Therefore, conditions are again created for an emergency on the road. nine0070 How far can you drive if the shock absorber leaks? It all depends on the nature and extent of the damage. If a new shock absorber leaked and the leakage occurred due to a one-time excessive load that did not lead to depressurization of the cylinder or destruction of the oil seal, then the car's handling will deteriorate slightly. It will be possible to drive to the nearest service center to solve the problem. If the depreciation drains have become completely out of order, it becomes difficult to drive such a vehicle, and it is better not to drive it onto the road, creating a danger to yourself and other road users. nine0003
There are 2 ways to deal with this problem - restoration (repair) and replacement. The first option will require more time and special skills, therefore it is used only by experienced car owners who are well versed in the car's structure.
In general, the repair of a leaking shock absorber includes the following steps:
No matter how good the piston o-rings and stuffing box look, they should be replaced with new ones. The fact is that in appearance it is impossible to judge the real state of rubber or other polymer seals. Considering them serviceable, you can very quickly encounter a new shock absorber leak. nine0070 The expediency of repairing a defective shock absorber is determined by the following factors:
It is also worth remembering that a remanufactured shock absorber, by definition, lasts less than a completely new similar model. The only exceptions are those cases when the old shock-absorbing element is replaced with a cheaper one from a third-party manufacturer. In such situations, it is quite possible that a new non-original shock absorber will last less than an old remanufactured one - it all depends on the quality of workmanship. nine0003
If a shock absorber leaks and you have access to modern parts and a quality car service, then the best option for troubleshooting is to completely replace the element with a new one of the same model or a third-party analogue of the same quality. This will help extend the life of the vehicle's suspension system, and save you the need to waste your time and effort. In addition, this option is more economical than repair, since the restored shock absorber will in any case have to be changed after its service life has been exhausted.
