Just putting out my first post here to comply with the board’s new members request. I’m a total newb to ATVs and am not terribly knowledgeable about any type of motor vehicle. I bought an ATV mostly to help with maintaining my yard. I live on a lake and must drag a harrow to keep the sand looking nice.

I bought a used 2006 Hawkeye and don’t know much about what to expect – I’m mostly concerned I’m going to do something stupid ie, ignorant neglect – and ruin the thing. All of my maintenance related google searches seem to bring me here, so I figured I might as well post my own questions. Thanks in advance for any help offered.
