The Best UTV Maintenance Tools

Your UTV is a pretty major investment and like any other type of vehicle you may own, you’ll want to ensure it’s always in good working order. Performing routine maintenance tasks on your UTV at home will help to keep it out of the repair shop and ready to go at a moment’s notice for your professional or recreational off-road riding needs.

Cowboy Powersports in Beaumont is your Texas UTV dealer. Here are the best UTV maintenance tools to have on hand for making at-home repairs on your side-by-side so you can keep it running smoothly.

Allen Wrenches & Hex-Bit Sockets

Many of the fasteners on your side-by-side will be hex heads so you’ll get a lot of use out of this type of wrench. L-shaped hex keys work similarly to a screwdriver, helping you to get parts removed and replaced as necessary. Some ratchets in different sizes will provide you with the leverage you may need to loosen them further.

Multimeter

This convenient hand-held tool measures the conductivity of your UTV’s electrical system, which is vital to ensuring that your battery works properly and doesn’t need to be replaced. Most multimeters cost less than $20, so they’re a pretty sound investment. This tool has a light that comes on to show you whether an electrical connection is complete. Plus, you can use the multimeter for other electrical needs around the house.

Tire-Pressure Gauge & Tire Repair Kit

UTV tires are costly and it’s important to make sure that you’re keeping yours maintained. A tire-pressure gauge like the one you have in your car’s glovebox is a helpful tool to make sure that your tires are aired up to the psi levels recommended by your UTV’s manufacturer. 

If your tire has a hole and needs a patch instead of a full replacement, then a tire repair kit will help you do that. These kits generally contain CO2 cartridges, patches, plugs and glue so you can get all patched up and back to riding without even having to remove the tire from your vehicle.

Air Compressor

Those tires need to stay aired up to function properly, and depending on where you live, the psi levels may fluctuate with temperature changes. Keep your tires aired up at home with an air compressor instead of visiting a gas station with your UTV in tow every time the tire pressure is low. If your compressor is compact enough, you can carry it around in your UTV to air up tires on the trail. You can also use it to inflate air mattresses and keep the tires in your other vehicles and bicycles aired up, too.
