Consumer Product Safety Commission CPSC Announces ANPR on ATVs WASHINGTON, D.C. – Furthering its commitment to improving the safety of ATVs and to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries nationwide, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted unanimously to issue an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) (Text, PDF) pertaining to all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Stemming from the June 8, 2005 memo from CPSC Chairman Hal Stratton to the staff, the ANPR is a significant step in a broad and comprehensive review of all existing and potential ATV safety rules and regulations. The ANPR invites written comments from the public regarding the risks of injury associated with ATVs and ways in which these risks could be addressed. The public has 60 days to provide technical comments to the Commission about the ANPR. <p> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml06/06004.html">FULL ARTICLE LINK </a> </p>

JUN. 1 2:26 P.M. ET Three-wheeled all-terrain vehicles would be banned and four-wheelers intended for children wouldn't go faster than 15 mph, under rules suggested Thursday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission's staff. The recommendations would also require ATV manufacturers to offer free training to families when they buy ATVs. "Limiting maximum speed is the most critical safety factor for youth ATV models," the commission staff said in the report outlining a series of recommendations to reduce the death toll from the vehicles. ATVs cause hundreds of deaths every year and tens of thousands of injuries. The commission said 18 people died in ATV accidents during the 2006 Memorial Day holiday. Last year, ATVs caused 4,400 injuries during the Friday through Monday Memorial Day period, the most recent for which the commission has injury data. The commission staff recommended that: -- For children ages 6 to 8, ATVs shouldn't go faster than 10 mph. -- For children from 9 to 11, ATVs shouldn't be able to go faster than 15 mph and they should have a device -- which parents can turn on or off -- that would limit their speed to 10 mph. -- For those 12 and older, ATVs shouldn't go faster than 30 mph and should have devices that could limit their speed to 15 mph. Major ATV manufacturers have agreed to stop selling three-wheeled ATVs, which are three times as likely to cause injury as the four-wheeled variety, the report said. But there are new kinds of three-wheeled vehicles being sold in the U.S., and a ban would "help ensure that three-wheeled ATVs will not be reintroduced into the U.S. market," the report said. Manufacturers and distributors of ATVs should have to give people who buy an ATV a certificate entitling them and their immediate families to free training on the vehicle, the report said. A patchwork of state regulations apply to the vehicles, but there are no federal laws governing ATVs. The commission does have voluntary agreements with big ATV manufacturers to discourage sales of ATVs intended for use by children. The staff will recommend that the commission propose the new regulations at a June 15 meeting, and the commission will later vote on whether to do so. LINK TO ARTICLE

I am pretty sure that whatever o-rings are needed will come with the flter. But, that is a good point, with the cartridge filters, the large cover o-ring may not. I'm not sure. I've been using the Carquest (which are Wix) spin on filters for my Suzuki and Yamaha for a while now...

What are they proposing out there in MN? Is there allot of riders out there?? get together and contact a politician maybe??

Common misconception is that you need to return to the dealer for an exact oil filter for your ATV. Aftermarket companies actually make filters for the O.E.M. market. Why go to the dealer when you can get the exact filter you need at your local auto parts store such as CARQUEST or NAPA. Wix corporation makes ATV filters that you'll find in most of your popular autopart stores. In most cases, you'll pay allot less! WIX is a leader in the filter business. Check out this ATV FILTER CATALOG. Remember, you can right down the filter # and have it cross-referenced at your local autopart store if they don't carry WIX, CARQUEST, or NAPA. You can also click on the part # for the filter image. https://www.autopartsforum.com/topic/23-showmetheparts-catalog/
