It depends on where you live and ride. In MT, my self and all my buddies, we don't insure our wheelers.
Really? What if it gets stolen? Catches fire? I insure mine more if it gets stolen Bc IF it was stolen I don't want to pay for something I don't have

Well, I leave my keys in my ignition on my wheeler, my 4runner and my crew cab chevy. I don't lock my doors on my house. I couldn't live in a place that I couldn't trust my fellow man. Maybe because everyone that lives here owns guns and isn;t afraid to use them. Keeps people honest I guess.
With respects to fire and damage due to a roll over etc, well that is a concern but not enough for me to throw money at insurance.

I understand that. But I live close enough to the city that there are dirt bags that would try to steal something while I'm not home. Had a buddy got his wheeler and trailer stolen off his truck while he was in Chilis eating lunch

I keep full coverage on my 850 and liability on the other 3 atv's I own. Also a liability policy on all my snowmobiles and a couple have an agreed value policy as they are vintage and worth enough to me to wan the money out of them if something were to happen. Atv's cost me about $400/yr with $500 deductible with progressive. The liability is really to protect myself and my assets against an accident. What happens if I hit someone or get hit on the trail? Or if I'm at a friends place doing some work with it and something goes wrong and someone gets hurt? Without any insurance, that cost would come out of my pocket. And I don't have tens of thousands in the bank to be writing a check.

Man that is f'ed up. I made the conclusion years ago that the father north you live the more honest people are. Harsh winters keep people humble. Sure there are dirt bags every where, just fewer of them the father north you go.

I feel insurance can be important. Even though I detest the thought of giving money to someone else that is careless, and collects their $$$ from an accident/incident that they are totally responsible for.
So, I keep full coverage on my 2010 550 and we (the insurance agent and myself) agree on value and make changes whenever I add more "stuff" to my wheeler. Like I added a track system a couple of years ago.
My biggest concern, and I'm cover with a 500$ deductible, is theft or damage while I'm traveling/towing with it. Also I'm covered if I go through the ice while fishing.
That's just me.

I pay about $400/yr (just went up) for full coverage/ $250 deductible on both our quads through State Farm.
You guys that are worried about accidents, etc while traveling might want to check your vehicle's policy. The way it has been explained to me is that ANYTHING connected to your truck (trailers, quads, etc) is covered by your vehicle's policy in case of accident or theft. Once you disconnect the trailer, it's an entirely different story, though.

Full coverage with Progressive Insurance in Pennsylvania cost me $250 the first year of coverage and then they drop it to $175 the 2nd year on out. Pretty reasonable I think. Most ATV Parks require liability at the minimal and that is just $85 a year around here. Nice to have if you need it and your machine is new.

I keep full coverage but one should at least carry liability in case you get in a wreck with another quad on the trail. Inevitably they will come after your assets if it is your fault. Umbrella policies might be a cheaper way to accomplish this if you don't want to carry coverage on your toys.

I have St. Farm and that's not the way it was explained to me. I will check with them again and make sure they have it right.

Well...I had none for awhile. I have all three I own paid off, but even when I was making payments on them, I had no insurance. I loan mine out at times, and my father once asked me, what if something happens (liability wise). That got me thinking (worrying). So I asked my insurance company for liability and to cover it in transit. I have all my insurance at allstate, and was told they are already covered for some things when on my own property. I think it was $220sh a year for all three.
