Strap It
Motorcycle- or ATV-specific tiedowns typically have a loop at the buckle to secure the strap's hook. Don't overlook this small feature when tying down your machine; it will keep the metal hooks from damaging your frame during transport.

Recycle, Recycle, Recycle
Properly disposing of your used motor oil is simple, convenient and, best of all, free. Today, most automotive parts centers operate a recycling program that makes dropping off the used oil easier than purchasing new. I like to keep an old fuel can around the shop to store my waste oil, which reduces trips to the parts center.

Color-Coordinated
If you do any wrenching at all on ATVs, you know that most of your time is spent wielding an 8, 10, 12 and sometimes a 14mm wrench. Marking these particular tools with colored tape or spray paint can ensure more time wrenching and less time searching for the needed tool. You can also mark your sockets with the color that corresponds to its size.

Magnetic Attraction
Keeping up with small parts, such as springs, nuts, washers, etc., can prove difficult for even the most meticulous mechanic. Using a magnetic parts tray will keep any small metallic objects securely planted until it's necessary to use or reinstall these particular parts.

Get-A-Gasket
We've all experienced a long night in the garage or shop in preparation for a big ride the following morning, but when your local shop is closed typically is the time when the one replacement gasket you don't have in your parts stash will be damaged. Having a sheet of gasket material handy could mean the difference in missing the ride of the year or being the first to hit the track. With a steady hand, a sharp knife and sheer determination, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.

Sticky Solution
A piece of duct tape can come in handy for a quick fix or temporary patch when you're out on the trail. The problem with this is that there's rarely a roll of tape available when you need it. Wrap a two-foot strip of tape around a protected section of frame for safekeeping. When a situation presents itself, you can simply unwrap what you need and leave the remaining piece for future use.
