How Often Should You Service Your ATV or UTV?
Your ATV or UTV isn’t just a vehicle — it’s your ticket to adrenaline-fueled adventure, backcountry exploration, and off-road freedom. Whether you're tearing through trails or hauling gear on your property, keeping your machine in top shape is crucial. So, one of the most common questions we hear at RIVA Motorsports is:
“How often should I service my ATV or UTV?”
Let’s break it down.
⏱️ Regular ATV/UTV Service Intervals: The Basics
While exact maintenance schedules can vary by brand and model (e.g., Can-Am, CF Moto, Yamaha, Honda), here’s a general rule of thumb:
| Service Type | Recommended Interval |
|---|---|
| Oil & Filter Change | Every 25–50 hours or 6 months |
| Air Filter Cleaning/Replacement | Every 15–30 hours |
| Brake Inspection | Every 50 hours or monthly |
| Coolant Check | Every 100 hours or annually |
| Drive Belt Inspection | Every 50 hours or 6 months |
| Spark Plug Check | Every 100 hours |
| Full Service Inspection | Every 100–200 hours |
Always refer to your owner’s manual for model-specific recommendations.
Air Filter should be checked and cleaned each time after riding in excessively dusty or muddy conditions.
