Well, let\u2019s make sure your off-road buddy gets a five-star treatment before it snoozes through the off-season. Just like with cars, motorcycles and boats, you need to do a bit of ATV maintenance before and during storage, to prevent damage over long periods of inactivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, here\u2019s your one-stop guide for keeping your ATV safe, sound and ready for action next season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cleaning-and-preparation\">1. Cleaning and Preparation<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before your ATV hibernates for the off-season, you\u2019ll want to give it a spa day to wash away the thrill of the trails and keep the mud from becoming a permanent accessory.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kick things off by loosening the battlefield remnants with a gentle hose down. If the mud\u2019s caked on like last year\u2019s pie, use a plastic scraper to chip away at the mess without scratching your ride\u2019s swagger.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crank up a pressure washer (or your trusty garden hose with a nozzle) to blast away stubborn grime and rogue engine fluids.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grab some bike soap or car detergent and get scrubbing. Tackle the plastics, seats, frames and wheels with a sponge or stiff brush for those hard-to-reach spots. Found some oil spots? Hit them with a degreaser, wait a bit, then send them packing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you let the sun do its thing or grab a lint-free towel and give your ATV a thorough wipe-down, it\u2019s essential that it be completely dry before storing it in an ATV storage unit, shed or garage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finish off with a protective plastic polish to keep your ATV looking sharp and shielded, but make sure you don\u2019t get any wax on the seat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Park your ATV in the sun and wait until every nook and cranny is completely dry before even thinking about parking it in a storage space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For a more detailed walkthrough of this cleaning process, check out our <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/diy-atv-storage-maintenance-checklist\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"522\">DIY ATV storage maintenance checklist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> An air compressor can be your secret weapon against water hiding in sneaky spots.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"fluids-and-fuel-maintenance\">2. Fluids and Fuel Maintenance<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each ATV will have different steps for proper storage, especially during the cold season, depending on the engine type and the ATV\u2019s model. \u201cSome have carburetors, some have fuel-injection engines\u2026 It will be important to check with your owner\u2019s manual,\u201d says Jon Rall, ATV expert and Public Relations &amp; Marketing Supervisor for<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kawasaki.com\/en-us\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kawasaki<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which sells ATVs, motorcycles and watercraft. \u201cEach owner\u2019s manual will have specific instructions for storing your ATV.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For an engine with a carburetor, one step should always be completed before long-term storage. \u201cDrain the fuel out of the carburetor,\u201d says Rall. With fuel-injection engines, Rall says fuel draining isn\u2019t required before storage, but \u201cthe owner\u2019s manual will likely suggest a gas additive or fuel stabilizer for winter storage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"atv-battery-care\">3. ATV Battery Care<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A big issue with ATV storage that you need to be aware of is that batteries tend to freeze in cold weather. After months in storage during the winter, it\u2019s possible an ATV won\u2019t start because of a frozen battery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of this, you might look into a climate-controlled storage unit to protect your four-wheeler. However, you can save the extra bucks on this feature by removing the battery and keeping it at home instead. \u201cYou\u2019ll want to hook up a battery tender, so it stays juiced up, or even unplug the battery,\u201d adds Rall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"atv-tire-care\">4. ATV Tire Care<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you keep those tires happy, they\u2019ll keep rolling strong, so here\u2019s what you can do:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it\u2019s a long winter nap, pull the wheels off and stash them somewhere cool and dark, slightly deflated for a cozy rest. Leaving them on your ATV? Keep them pumped to the right pressure \u2014 check what the manufacturer recommends.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get those tires off the ground with a jack. This avoids pressure spots and keeps them from getting flat and grumpy. If jacking isn\u2019t an option, just shuffle your ATV around now and then to even out the weight, and don\u2019t stack stuff on top of it. Extra weight? Extra tire stress.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunlight isn\u2019t just tough on your skin \u2014 it speeds up tire wear, too. If your ATV is catching some rays outside, slap on UV covers to keep those tires looking young.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"choosing-a-storage-location\">5. Choosing a Storage Location<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7049\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/move-atv-to-storage-in-fall.jpg\" alt=\"Putting an ATV into Storage\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/move-atv-to-storage-in-fall.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/move-atv-to-storage-in-fall-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/move-atv-to-storage-in-fall-457x305.jpg 457w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t plan on using your four-wheeler for a while, having it take up valuable space in your garage or driveway is not exactly ideal. Plus, outdoor ATV storage ideas are not always feasible, depending on climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, can you store an ATV in a storage unit then? Sure, this affordable option allows you to keep your all-terrain vehicle out of the way and safe from winter weather \u2014 you just need to consider a few details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><style>\ntable {<br \/>\n  border-collapse: collapse;<br \/>\n  width: 100%;<br \/>\n  margin: 20px 0;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\nth, td {<br \/>\n  border: 1px solid #ddd;<br \/>\n  padding: 8px;<br \/>\n  text-align: left;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\nth {<br \/>\n  background-color: #f2f2f2;<br \/>\n  font-weight: bold;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n.merged-header {<br \/>\n  text-align: center;<br \/>\n  font-weight: bold;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n.table-container {<br \/>\n  margin-top: 20px;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\ncaption {<br \/>\n  font-weight: bold;<br \/>\n  font-size: 1.2em;<br \/>\n  margin-bottom: 10px;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n<\/style><\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table><caption>ATV Storage Options Comparison<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Storage Option<\/th>\n<th>Pros<\/th>\n<th>Cons<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Garage<\/td>\n<td>It&#8217;s secure and protected from the elements; you have easy access whenever you need it.<\/td>\n<td>It can hog valuable space you might need for other uses, especially if you have a packed garage.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Driveway<\/td>\n<td>It&#8217;s convenient and doesn&#8217;t cost you extra.<\/td>\n<td>Your ATV is exposed to weather, potential thieves and, if local ordinances are strict, could even be an eyesore.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shed<\/td>\n<td>It is out of sight, protected from weather and keeps your garage free for other uses.<\/td>\n<td>Not as secure as a garage, and if it&#8217;s not well-built, it might still expose your ATV to some elements.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Storage Unit<\/td>\n<td>Secure, protected from the weather and often comes with additional security like gated access and video surveillance.<\/td>\n<td>Can be costly, and you&#8217;ll have to travel to the unit to pick up your ATV.

You should also factor in enough room for ATV maintenance during storage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not storing just one off-road machine? If you\u2019ve got a dirt bike as well, make sure it\u2019s just as ready for the off-season. Our <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/dirt-bike-storage-guide\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"426\" data-end=\"502\">Dirt Bike Storage Guide<\/a> breaks down everything you need to keep it in top condition through winter and beyond.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pest-prevention\">6. Pest Prevention<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody wants their ATV turning into a critter condo. Here\u2019s how to make sure pests stay away while your ride is stored:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critters aren\u2019t fans of fresh scents. Mint-scented repellent packs and dryer sheets can keep mice and other pests from setting up shop in your ATV. Tuck them in corners and under the seat for a no-vacancy sign.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plug any open invitations like exhaust pipes and small crevices with steel wool or specially designed caps. Just remember to undo all these anti-pest arrangements before you rev up your ATV for a ride.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slip plastic bags over muffler outlets and other open areas. This simple trick will block out moisture and uninvited guests. Again, don\u2019t forget to remove them when you take your ATV out.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While ATV covers in the $20-$30 price range protect against dust, rain, snow and sun, they cannot keep pests at bay. For that, you will need to put your ATV in a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/carcapsule.com\/9-outdoor-powersports-bike-capsule\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9\u2019 bubble<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is less of a cover and more of an outdoor garage or storage unit. This will make your wallet roughly $500 thinner, but hey, if you\u2019re looking for outdoor ATV storage ideas with pest control, these are the best ATV covers you could score.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"security-measures\">7. Security Measures<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s make sure your ATV stays right where you left it with some clever tricks to thwart thieves:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a one-two punch of a disc lock to keep the wheels from rolling and a hefty chain or U-lock to latch the frame to something sturdy like an immovable object.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Park smart by hiding your ATV behind a bigger vehicle or sandwich it between a solid wall and your car.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you chain up your ATV, make sure it\u2019s to something that can take a beating \u2014 pick a robust pole or shaft that can stand up to some tug-of-war.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can swing it, setting up a security camera gives you an extra layer of defense and could help you keep tabs on your prized ride from afar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Install a tracking device on your ATV.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Pro tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It might seem like a no-brainer, but&#8230; always take the keys with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"regular-check-ups\">8. Regular Check-ups<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular peeks under the hood (or seat, in this case) can save you a lot of trouble. Keep an eye out for leaks, loose parts or any signs of wear. Pay extra attention to tires, as they can be sneaky and lose air, especially when it\u2019s cold. Check the pressure regularly \u2014 perfectly pumped tires mean a smoother ride and less stress on your ATV.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"post-storage-inspection\">9. Post-Storage Inspection<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before hitting the trails again, give your ATV a thorough check:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure the battery hasn\u2019t decided to take a permanent vacation. Charge it up if needed, and look for any signs of wear or corrosion on the connections.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check and top off all fluids \u2014 oil, coolant, brake fluid.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we mentioned a couple of times already, tires can lose pressure while sitting idle, so check them for the right inflation. Make sure there are no cracks or flat spots.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brake pads can last for years, but rough riding conditions may mean they need to be replaced more often. Always check that the brake pads aren\u2019t worn down \u2014 this is a non-negotiable before every ride!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flip on all the lights to make sure they\u2019re still working. Replace any bulbs that have burnt out.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Pro tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Before you go full throttle, take your ATV for a slow test ride to listen for any unusual noises or rough idling that might suggest issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"choose-secure-atv-storage-solutions\">Choose Secure ATV Storage Solutions<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armed with these ATV storage tips, you\u2019re set to extend the life of your four-wheeler and enhance its performance for many rides to come.
