Must-Have Products for Your UTV
When you purchase a UTV, there might be products that you either would like or would be a great idea to have on hand when out for a ride. Outfit your UTV with all of these products and more to enhance your experience. Think ahead to the items or products that could be beneficial during emergencies or frustrating situations. To learn more, come to Car Corral Polaris® in Flora, Illinois. We serve Carmi, Illinois.
Spare Tires
Despite the rugged design of most standard UTV tires, there is always the risk of puncturing the sidewall. In this situation, you should already come prepared with a spare tire. Otherwise, you may find yourself stranded somewhere or walking miles to get cell service. Along with a spare tire, you also need a kit to change the tire. Look for kits that are easy to use while on a trail.
Repair Kit and Tools
Even if you have a spare tire, keep an air supply and repair kit on hand, too. You can patch minor flat tires with a plug and air them up to get back safely. There are different options for air supply, including attaching a quick-release fire extinguisher mount to a Co2 tank system. You can also purchase a compact air compressor for cheap.
Never go without at least a minimal kit of tools. If any part needs to be tightened or adjusted, you can fix it yourself on the trail.
Rear View Mirror
Although a typical UTV does not come with a rearview mirror, you will find yourself missing one before long. UTV seat belts restrict your movement and make it hard to do an over-the-shoulder check behind you. You can pick up a rearview mirror or even side mirror attachments online or at many powersports dealers.
Windshield
Without a windshield, it can quickly become unbearably cold riding on a UTV. Any air temperature below 80 degrees is less than ideal weather for riding without a wind deflector. Invest in this type of product for your UTV as soon as possible. You can avoid catching a cold or drying your eyes out on your first ride.
Jumper Box
Most UTV models use CVT transmissions. You cannot push start your UTV with a dead battery, which means you need a jumper box. This kit is a product that can completely change your mood during an annoying situation.
Having the best time possible on your UTV starts with the right products. If you want to learn more about which extras would be a good fit for your UTV, visit us at Car Corral Polaris® in Flora, Illinois. We welcome customers from Carmi, Illinois.
