Sportsman 850 burnt up its toast

And this is why all of my Sportsman's have fire extinguishers on them. I read too many stories like this and it scared me into getting one for each of them.

Take the money for the fire extinguishers and put it toward the atv insurance , I'd rather have a new ride than a repaired fire damaged atv 😀

Another reason I carry fire extinguishers is for others around me in case a fire occurs with their equipment. I can save my stuff or someone else's. The same applies with the gun I always carry - I can save my ass or yours.

I don't think a lot of us think of needing a fire extinguisher with a 4-wheeler. I never thought about it until reading enough horror stories on this forum that it scared me straight and I now have them. Another good reason to have one is for the woods, fields, or forests we ride in. I don't want to be the guy who's wheeler caught on fire and also burned up 5,000 acres of a forest and homes, etc.

Its just good insurance to carry one in my opinion.
