Essential Gear for ATVs

Mechanical problems can occur at any time, so it’s wise to carry the tool kit and owner’s manual that came with your ATV.

In addition, you should carry some spare parts and emergency items:

• Extra spark plugs—worn plugs are the number one cause of engine stalling
• Headlight and taillight bulbs
• Electrical and duct tape
• Flashlight
• Knife
• First-aid kit
• Sturdy tow rope or chain
• For longer trips, see What to Bring.

Proof of Registration
IC-14-16-1-9; IC 14-16-1-11.5

Your vehicle isn’t ready to ride unless it has an up-to-date registration decal attached to both sides of the forward half of the machine.

You also must carry a pocket-size registration card with you whenever you ride.
