All vehicles require some level of routine maintenance. This
maintenance is divided into two categories—tune-ups and service.
A tune-up generally consists of inspecting, testing, and adjusting the
motorcycle or ATV engine. During a tune-up, parts such as spark
plugs, ignition points (where used), condensers, and filters are
replaced. Tune-ups are needed to keep engines operating at peak
efficiency. Normally, a tune-up can be done without removing the
engine from the motorcycle or ATV frame.
