In my machines I start them every month or so to keep the batteries charged. Over an entire winter without charging, yes they can loose thier charge and freeze, which will destroy them. But as long as you keep them charged up they should be fine.

no kick start on a 660R. and all the ATCs are pull start like a lawnmower... the Yammer mx100 is my only kickstart! I had not thot about it...

batteries are no problem- I have a trickle charger hooked to my camper batteries in the garage anyway... fuel quality has a great deal to do with cold starting.

They are now selling 'non- ethanol super' here- 3.79/gal it works well in my 90 Chibby and my 86 Accord LXi.

We can also get 110 octane 'race fuel' off road only from the bulk plant- $7/gallon.

So from now on it will be non ethanol gas/ race fuel in all my old Hondas and the Raptor.

That damm ethanol has ruined the rubber in two of my ATCs- I have to rekit them!! the rubber is rotted out from the alcohol! :mad:

      For ATV and UTV enthusiasts, regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity and performance of your vehicle. One of the most overlooked yet essential components is the battery. Just like in cars, ATVs and UTVs require a reliable power source to start the engine and power additional features like lights, winches, and electronic accessories. Understanding why changing your ATV and UTV battery at the right time is essential—and why Weize batteries are a top choice—can keep you out on the trails longer and reduce the risk of unexpected battery failures.
      Why Changing Your ATV/UTV battery is Crucial
      1. Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns
      Imagine being out in the wilderness, far from help, and suddenly your ATV won’t start. A reliable battery ensures that your vehicle can always start up, keeping you safe and ready for any situation. Old or degraded batteries lose their capacity to hold a charge, increasing the likelihood of sudden, inconvenient breakdowns.
      2. Improve Overall Performance
      A fresh battery doesn’t just guarantee startup; it also supports optimal performance. ATV and UTV batteries power important accessories, such as headlights, which are crucial for visibility in low-light conditions. A weak battery can dim your lights, affect the functioning of electric winches, and even disrupt GPS or other electronic equipment. A new, high-quality battery helps maintain the consistent power output necessary for these essential features.
      3. Extend the Life of Other Components
      An aging battery can strain other vehicle components. As the battery weakens, it requires more effort from the alternator and other electrical parts to maintain a charge. This added stress can wear down the electrical system over time. Replacing the battery on schedule can help to reduce strain on the alternator and prevent more costly repairs down the line.
      4. Adapt to Changing Seasons
      Temperature fluctuations can significantly impact battery life. Colder temperatures reduce battery efficiency, which can lead to issues during winter months, while extreme heat can cause rapid battery degradation. Changing your battery seasonally or before long periods of extreme weather can help avoid seasonal breakdowns and extend battery life.
      Why Choose Weize batteries for Your ATV or UTV?
      When it comes to replacement batteries, Weize is a top choice among ATV and UTV enthusiasts. Here’s why Weize batteries are particularly suitable for powering these rugged vehicles:
      1. Exceptional Durability
      Weize batteries are designed to withstand tough conditions, including off-road terrain, shock, and vibration. Whether you’re tackling rocky trails, mud, or hills, Weize batteries are built to last. Their rugged construction helps to ensure reliable performance even under the most challenging conditions.
      2. Long-Lasting Power
      Weize batteries use high-quality materials that allow for a stable charge and dependable discharge rate. This long-lasting power translates into fewer replacements, saving you money over the long run. Weize batteries are built to provide reliable starting power and can handle additional loads from accessories, ensuring that your ATV or UTV gets all the energy it needs.
      3. Low Maintenance and Easy Installation
      Weize batteries are designed with a focus on low maintenance and easy installation. Many models come pre-charged and sealed, meaning they’re ready to use right out of the box. This ease of installation makes them an ideal choice for riders who prefer a straightforward setup with minimal hassle.
      4. Affordability and Value
      Weize offers high-quality batteries at competitive prices, making them a great value for ATV and UTV owners. Despite their affordability, they don’t compromise on durability or performance, providing excellent quality without the premium price tag.
      5. Environmentally Responsible
      Weize prioritizes sustainable manufacturing practices, ensuring that their batteries meet environmental standards. This focus on eco-friendly production is a plus for ATV and UTV riders who want to reduce their impact on the environment while still enjoying high-quality equipment.
      Signs It’s Time to Change Your battery
      To maximize your ATV or UTV’s performance, be aware of the signs indicating that a battery replacement is necessary:
      Slow Engine Crank: If your engine takes longer than usual to start, it may be due to a weakening battery. Dim Lights: Dimming headlights are often a clear sign that your battery is losing its capacity to hold a charge. Frequent Recharging: If you find yourself recharging the battery frequently, it might be time for a new one. Age of the Battery: Most ATV and UTV batteries last between two to four years. Regular replacements can prevent unexpected breakdowns. Final Thoughts
      Changing your ATV or UTV battery when it shows signs of wear is essential for reliable performance and safety on every ride. Choosing a dependable brand like Weize ensures that you’re investing in long-lasting power, durability, and value. With a new Weize battery, your ATV or UTV will be ready for every adventure—whether you’re out on the trail or tackling heavy-duty tasks. So before you embark on your next journey, make sure your battery is up to the challenge, and consider Weize as a trusted choice for dependable power.

      I went to NYC over the weekend to see the tree at Rockefeller with tha family, and on the way down from about 50 miles north could not help but keep looking in the sky while driving at diffent lights. Planes, small planes, choppers? Some of them looked like slow moving drones but not really sure. If you are in the tri-state area, you can't help but wonder what's going on... thoughts?

      "Wolf" in North Idaho, Ulfthednar to all ya'll heathens out there.
      New to ATVs but not real new to life.
      Just picked up a 2022 CFMoto CForce 800XC.
      I've been wrenching on my own vehicles since my first bicycle fifty years ago.
      I have found in the long run that the brand name in most cases has less to do with than the idiot wielding the wrench.
      Built up several trucks, built my 80 80 FLH Electra Glide out of milk crates, wrenched on a lot of other stuff in between.
      Ive even Trail road my 73 shovel in places that would give a kid with a BMX second thoughts.
      Anyway, Ive wanted an ATV for awhile and its already handy around the house and a lot of fun out on the trails.
      From a point of view of working on things for quite awhile . . I am not disappointed in the least yet.
      Not with ATV riding or the machine . . .
      My back yard runs up to about an 8 or 9 pitch (for ya carpenters out there) and rips right up it.
      This thing pulls hills and handles pretty damn good once you get the drifties going.
      Its close to 1,000 lbs so I dont really see it as a jumping machine, but it handled a pretty good bunch of whoopties out on an MX/ATV trail.
      Once I got the timing down of the machine it was a sheer blast.
      Id have more pics of that day, but every time I stopped the bald face wasps tried to jack my machine and lunch.
