How to Maintain Your Side-by-Side

A Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) or side-by-side requires regular preventive maintenance to ensure its longevity and prevent unnecessary repairs. Following a proper maintenance routine guarantees that your side-by-side will remain robust and dependable, allowing you to appreciate the performance and durability it was designed to provide.

Regular Oil Change

Just like any other vehicle, the performance of your side-by-side relies heavily on its engine health. To keep the engine in good shape, regularly change the oil based on the manufacturer's recommendations. This habit removes impurities and ensures that your vehicle will function smoothly.

Tire Inspection

Tire maintenance is critical for safe side-by-side operation. Routinely inspect tires for proper inflation levels, tread depth, cuts, or punctures to sustain a comfortable ride and enhance the vehicle's maneuverability.

Checking Brake System

Periodically inspecting your UTV's brake system is vital as it ensures safety while driving. Always watch for worn-out brake pads or brake fluid leakages—and get them fixed immediately—so that your brakes always work properly when needed.

Cleaning Air Filter

Your UTV's engine uses an air filter to keep harmful debris from entering it. Cleaning this regularly extends not only the air filter’s life but also helps conserve engine efficiency and fuel consumption.

Remember routine maintenance can save you from expensive repairs down the line and ensure your side-by-side serves you well for years to come.
