ATV Repair for a Sputtering Quad in Bowstring

A quad that sputters, bogs or won't idle usually comes down to fuel, air or spark. ATV repair here starts with finding the real cause. Then we fix it: carburetor rebuilding, motor repair or a full rebuild on ATVs and side-by-sides. The whole list is on our ATV and side-by-side repair page.

Regular ATV maintenance keeps the small problems small. We're bonded and insured, and we can write the estimate if a quad or side-by-side is part of an insurance claim.

Suspension Service for Bowstring State Forest Routes

The Bowstring State Forest covers Itasca and Cass county ground inside the Chippewa National Forest, and its trails allow Class I and II ATVs. The DNR has listed it as a limited forest, where machines stay on signed and mapped routes. Check the current DNR rules before you load up.

Those routes beat on shocks. We rebuild shocks and forks, revalve, change springs, install new shocks and fit HSPD steering dampers. We're a Race Tech and Ride Concept dealer. Read more about our shock and fork rebuilds.
