ATV, UTV & Side-by-Side Engine Rebuilds

You know the sound your machine should make. The pull it’s supposed to have. The rhythm you’re used to when everything’s working the way it should.

When your ATV, UTV, or Side-by-Side engine doesn’t sound right—or doesn’t run at all—don’t let that sideline your ride. At EPM Motorsports, we specialize in ATV engine rebuilds, UTV engine rebuilds, and Side-by-Side engine restoration for riders across the United States. With this in mind, we rebuild engines for Polaris, Can-Am, Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki platforms.

We overhaul engines the way riders actually use them: for throttle-heavy weekends, trail runs that push limits, and open land that doesn’t forgive failure. Whether you ride to explore or ride to compete, your restored engine should feel better than new. That is because it’s been torn down, rebuilt, and tested by experts who ride, too.

Nationwide ATV Engine Rebuilds, Done the Right Way

You don’t have to live near Chicago to get top-tier craftsmanship. Our nationwide ATV, UTV, and SxS engine restoration program makes it simple to ship your motor to our team. Here’s how we keep things rider-friendly:

  1. We Talk First — Tell us about your platform and symptoms. We’ll give you a rough estimate based on your machine’s make, model, and known issues.
  2. Ship It In — Drain the fluids, box it up, and send it to us. We’ll help with packing tips and label creation to keep the process painless.
  3. We Tear It Down & Tell You the Truth — We don’t guess. Once it’s here, we inspect everything and show you exactly what’s wrong before we start.
  4. We Build It Right — OEM-spec or upgraded, every part is chosen to match how you ride—and how hard.
  5. We Send It Back Ready to Drop In — Clean. Tuned. Sealed. Ready to fire up and ride.

You don’t have to settle for local shops that “might” be able to service your platform. You can ship it to someone who does it every day, for riders across the country.

Real Performance, No Guesswork

There’s a difference between an engine that runs—and an engine that wants to run. At EPM, every engine gets:

  • A complete disassembly and full damage report
  • Precision cylinder honing, valve seating, and crank balancing
  • OEM-grade or performance-focused components, depending on your goals
  • Final tests for compression, oil pressure, and tolerances

Whether you’re reconditioning after a catastrophic failure or chasing that last bit of torque for dunes or trails, we don’t send anything back until it runs like we’d expect it to in our own machines.

UTV Engine Rebuilds — Precision Craftsmanship from Chicago Experts

From two-stroke screamers to four-stroke workhorses, we’ve restored engines from nearly every powersports platform:

  • Polaris RZR, Ranger, Sportsman
  • Can-Am Outlander, Renegade, Maverick
  • Yamaha Raptor, Grizzly, YFZ450, Banshee
  • Honda TRX450R, Pioneer, ATC, Foreman
  • Kawasaki Teryx, Brute Force, Mule
  • Suzuki LTZ400, KingQuad, Quadracer

Got something vintage or hard-to-find parts for? We’ve done Yamaha Banshee full engine recondition, Suzuki LTFs, and Honda ATC triples that other shops wouldn’t touch.

When It’s Time for a Rebuild

Still debating if a restoration is worth it? Here’s when to stop waiting and start fixing:

  • Your engine starts hard, idles rough, or won’t stay running
  • It’s smoking, knocking, or making sounds you know aren’t right
  • You’ve noticed power loss, or one side of your compression test is way off
  • You’ve found metal flakes in the oil
  • It’s fully seized or already torn apart and sitting in your garage

Don’t throw money at bolt-ons while your core engine is failing. A proper restoration doesn’t just save your season—it saves your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Can I get an exact quote before shipping my engine?

We can provide a general price range based on your make, model, and symptoms, but an exact quote requires in-shop inspection. Internal damage and wear can only be verified once the engine is disassembled and analyzed.

  1. Do you provide shipping assistance?

Yes. We can help coordinate label creation and provide detailed packing guidelines to ensure your engine arrives safely. Customers are responsible for shipping costs, but we’ll help make the process smooth and secure.

  1. How long does an engine rebuild take?

Turnaround time depends on the engine’s condition and parts availability. Most rebuilds will take within 2–4 weeks after inspection and approval, though rare or performance components may extend that timeline.

  1. What types of engines do you rebuild?

We recondition most ATV, UTV, and SxS engines from Polaris, Can-Am, Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki, including both modern EFI and older carbureted systems. We also specialize in legacy platforms such as Yamaha Banshee, Suzuki LTZ/LTF, and Honda ATC engines.

  1. Do you offer performance or upgraded rebuild options?

Yes. In addition to OEM-spec reconditioning, we offer performance-focused upgrades, including high-compression pistons, valve train enhancements, and other modifications suited for racing or heavy-use applications
