ATVs open the door to unforgettable outdoor adventures and adrenaline-filled rides. Whether you're navigating rocky trails, conquering muddy paths, or just cruising to unwind, these machines are built to handle it all.

At Munro Powersports, we’re here to help keep your ATV trail-ready. Below, we’re tackling some of the most frequent problems ATV riders face, along with practical solutions to keep you riding instead of wrenching. Have your own tips or repair stories?

Dead Battery Blues
Picture this—you’re geared up and ready to ride, but the engine won’t roar to life. A dead battery is an all-too-common frustration for ATV enthusiasts, but it’s one of the easiest problems to avoid.
Start by checking your battery for signs of corrosion or a weak charge. Using a trickle charger during the off-season is an excellent way to maintain battery health. If your battery has seen better days, replace it with a reliable one to avoid getting stuck. Need a durable high-performance battery or a trickle charger? Check out the Munro Powersports online store for an awesome selection of products and devices to stay powered up for all your adventures.
Clogged Air Filters
Feeling like your ATV isn’t delivering the same power it used to? Dust, debris, and dirt from the trail could have clogged your air filter, cutting off vital airflow to your engine and reducing its performance.
Inspect your air filter regularly and clean or replace it when needed. A clean filter ensures better airflow and improved engine performance. Swapping out an air filter is an easy and satisfying fix that anyone can handle. Grab a new air filter and enjoy a smoother, more powerful ride.
Troubles with Tires
Your tires are your ATV’s unsung heroes—they take on rocks, mud, stumps, and everything in between. But punctures, worn tread, or improperly inflated tires can quickly ruin any ride.
Always inspect your tires before heading out. Look for cracks, low tread, or embedded objects, and ensure each tire is inflated to the manufacturer-recommended pressure. For added confidence on the trail, pack a tire repair kit—it can be a lifesaver if you encounter trouble far from home.
Overheating Engines
An overheating engine is a nightmare no ATV rider wants to experience. Overheating can damage your engine and cut your rides short, so it's crucial to stay on top of maintenance.
Keep your radiator clean by removing dirt and debris, and always check your coolant levels before a ride. Be sure to watch for dashboard warning lights—they’re not just for decoration!

Brake and Suspension Worries
Responsive brakes and a solid suspension system are non-negotiables for safe and fun rides. If your ATV feels bouncy or unsteady, it’s time to inspect your brake pads, shocks, or fluid levels.
Regularly check your brake pads for wear and replace them if needed. If your suspension feels off, tighten loose bolts and inspect your shocks for damage. You can always shop for high-quality parts like brake pads, fluids, and suspension parts with Munro Powersports to ensure your ATV is always up for the challenge.
