For the Rotenberry brothers, motorcycles are in their blood. Starting on ATV’s at 3 and racing at 12, the passion grew as they did. Coming from an automotive background and working in the industry only “fueled” that passion. While riding competitively for upwards of 15 years both Chris and Jon learned everything they could about all types of motorcycles and ATV’s. To them; nothing feels quite like a motorcycle and they truly enjoy the interaction with enthusiasts.
Washing Your Motorcycle
As time goes on, your motorcycle will inevitably need a good washing. After all, your bike is built to last and it takes on all kinds of rough conditions on the road. It battles water, dirt, mud, dust, exhaust, rocks, debris, and other elements while you enjoy the ride. You don’t want to be that guy on the road with a nasty bike that looks like it’s never been washed. Unfortunately, you can’t just ride your motorcycle through the car wash. You’ll need to wash your bike by hand with extra care since many parts are exposed.
ATV Trail Riding Tips
Once you’ve finally invested in the four wheeler of your dreams, you’re probably going to want to be hitting the trails on a regular basis so you can chase your next adrenaline rush. If you’re new to riding trails, you’ll want to take the time to learn some important tips. We’ve put together a few pointers to help you prepare for your days spent out on the trails. At Bellevue Suzuki Kawasaki, we’ve got all your ATV needs covered. Visit us in Memphis, Tennessee near Jackson!
How to Prepare For Your First UTV Ride
If you’ve never ridden a UTV (utility vehicle) or side by side before, you’re in for a real treat! These rugged vehicles are compact powerhouses capable of handling rough terrain, meaning you don’t need a road or trail to ride them on. You can take them almost anywhere, from rocky outcroppings to sandy dunes to forests to open prairies. They’re useful on job sites and for hauling heavy loads, but they’re also really great recreational vehicles. To help make your first UTV ride easy, Bellevue Suzuki Kawasaki of Memphis has prepared this quick guide to UTV riding.
Motorcycle Maintenance
Motorcycles are meant to be fun, easy rides that bring a smile to your face and put some thrills in your back pocket. But to keep your bike vrooming, you’ll need to give it some attention before and after you ride. This means more than taking your bike into the shop when it starts acting up. To keep your motorcycle in working order so it’s ready to go every time you’re ready, you’ll want to develop a habit of regular maintenance and learn what you need to keep your bike running.

If you’re looking for a low-cost upgrade with big dividends, then you should consider a motorcycle windshield! We’ve created a guide to understanding this great customization below. If you decide to upgrade, bring your motorcycle to Bellevue Suzuki Kawasaki. You’ll find us in Memphis, Tennessee.
Picking the Right Dirt Bike Tires
Dirt bikes are built to tackle nearly every type of terrain. It’s part of their allure! But different types of terrain work best with different types of tires. The right tire impacts how your bike rides, from whether the turn is smooth to whether you land your jump. The right tire also impacts how your bike runs, such as whether the engine needs to work harder. It can be tough knowing which tire is right for your riding lifestyle, so we’ve put together a guide below. For all your dirt bike needs, visit Bellevue Suzuki Kawasaki in Memphis, Tennessee.
Motorcycle Helmets
Riding your motorcycle shouldn’t be an anxiety-driven experience. The last thing you want to think about when you’re cruising down the street is whether you’ve got the right helmet or not. You want to put thinking aside for later and enjoy the open road and wind blowing past. Safety is important, too, so it’s good to know what you need and to get it before running into trouble for the first time. There isn’t much room for regret during a wipeout, so protect your head!
Towing your Four Wheeler
Most four-wheeler owners know that there will eventually come a day in which they’ll need to transport their machine over paved roadways. In other words, it won’t be legal or practical to ride your ATV to its destination, so you’ll need to transport it some other way. Even the biggest trucks often don’t have beds big enough to hold a four-wheeler, and you’d definitely be out of luck if you need to transport multiple vehicles. Odds are, you’ll need to tow a loaded trailer. This can be a little tricky, especially if you’ve never towed a trailer before, so Bellevue Suzuki Kawasaki has provided some tips and tricks to help you get started. If you need additional help, stop by our location in Memphis, Tennessee. We proudly serve the areas of Bartlett, Jackson, Germantown, and Collierville, Tennessee, as well as Olive Branch and Southaven, Mississippi.
Best Tools for Hunting with your ATV or UTV
If you’ve been looking to step up your hunting game recently, we would recommend using an ATV or UTV. Not only do these powersports vehicles allow you to cover more ground at a faster pace, but they’re also capable of hauling and towing immense weight. This means that you’ll have an easy way to haul your catch home and you’ll still have plenty of space for all your supplies. There are even ATVs and UTVs made specifically for hunting and come with all the best hunting accessories. So whether you get a powersport vehicle made for hunting or you need to upgrade one you already own, you’ll want to make sure you have some essential tools.

Buying Your First Four-Wheeler
Four-wheeling can be lots of fun, especially if you know where to go for the best experience. But, if you’ve never bought a four-wheeler before, you also want to make sure you invest in the right one. Whether you intend to use your ATV for labor-intensive purposes or just for fun excursions on the weekend, you should know how your needs affect the type of four-wheelers you buy. We’ve offered some tips to get you started and when you’re ready to make a purchase or if you have more questions, stop by Bellevue Suzuki Kawasaki in Memphis, near Jackson, Tennessee.

Basic ATV Maintenance
Your ATV is an important vehicle to you. It’s a go-to form of entertainment for riding bumpy trails, hitting the dunes, and maneuvering around obstacles through the woods, so you should do everything you can to make it last as long as possible. Just like a car, things like engine oil filters, brakes, fluids, and spark plugs are all necessary for your King Quad to perform well (or perform at all). If you keep a diligent maintenance schedule, you can get the most out of your four wheeler for years to come. If you have any other questions about maintenance strategies, would like to check out our latest suzuki models, or would like to bring your quad into our service department, ask us at Bellevue Suzuki Kawasaki.
