CAD MOTO

Investing in an ATV from Cadmoto Limited—the reliable Lagos-based dealer offering new, warrantied machines with strong after-sales support deserves equal attention to upkeep. Here’s how to maintain your ATV so it serves you longer, safer, and smoother.

1. Leverage Cadmoto’s After-Sales Support

Cadmoto doesn’t just sell ATVs they back them with in-house servicing, spare parts, and professional repair support (CAD MOTO). Use this advantage:

• Schedule regular check-ups with their technicians.
• Always request OEM (original equipment) parts to ensure reliability.
• Follow manufacturer-recommended maintenance intervals, not just mileage, but also usage hours of operation especially if you ride in harsh or dusty conditions.

2. Pre-Ride Essentials: Build a Quick Inspection Routine

A thorough safety check before each ride can prevent small issues from turning costly:

• Fluid Levels: Check oil, coolant, and brake fluids daily. Spot leaks early.
• Tire Health: Inspect tire tread and ensure proper inflation. Uneven terrain and heavy loads can quickly wear tyres.
• Controls & Visibility: Test steering, brakes, lights, emergency stop switch, and wheel axle nuts.

3. Clean, Lubricate, Protect

• Clean Your Ride After Every Use: Wash off mud and debris to ward off rust and corrosion especially in humid Lagos environments.
• Air Filter Maintenance: Dusty Nigerian terrains clog filters fast. Clean (or replace) weekly if you ride often.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: From suspension joints to drive chains, regular greasing protects against wear Cadmoto technicians can advise on the right grease.

4. Follow a Smart Servicing Schedule

Honda’s maintenance cadence offers a solid framework adaptable to any ATV:

Interval	Key Tasks
Every Ride (Daily)	Pre-ride checks listed above
20 Hours of Use	Engine oil and filter change; inspect and service brakes and drivetrain
50 Hours	Repeat drivetrain checks
100 Hours	Deep checks: air cleaner, spark plug, coolant, drive shaft boots, differential oil, brake systems, guards, etc.

Cadmoto’s team can help tailor this schedule based on your ATV model (200cc to 1000cc) and local operating conditions (CAD MOTO).

5. Seasonal TLC

Although Lagos doesn’t have marked seasons, riding conditions vary:

• Start of Heavy Use: Check tyres, reconnect/disconnect battery, inspect for rust or wear. Add fuel stabilizer if stored unused.
• Hot, Dusty Conditions: Clean filters and cooling systems more often; monitor for overheating.
• Post-Rain/Wet Rides: Clean thoroughly, dry chain and boots, lubricate pivot points.

6. Rely on the Owner’s Manual & Safety First

• Read Your Manual: Every ATV is unique. The manual provides torque specs, fluid types, and pre-ride steps.
• Safety Never Takes a Back Seat: Wear protective gear when performing maintenance. Work on a flat surface, disconnect the battery before servicing, and let the engine cool.

7. Rider Wisdom: Learn from the Community

Simple practices often go a long way:

“Keep it clean… Change your oils and filters at recommended intervals… Clean it down after each use if it’s dirty and dry it.”

“Just don’t ride it hard for ages… Regular oil changes are your most important… cleaning and waterproofing electrics helps.

These community tips echo what experts say—cleaning, routine servicing, and care go a long way toward longevity.
