Although Kentucky ATV regulations do not state any requirement for registering or having a title for the ATV, it is highly recommended to check with the local county recorder's office or your local Department of Natural Resources for any changes in these requirements.
Kentucky ATV regulations do have limits for age requirements of all ATV operators. For ATV's over 70cc, the operator must be a minimum of 12 years old. The age increases to a minimum of 16 years old for ATV over 90cc. These ATV regulations concerning the age of the operator must be followed unless the individual is supervised.
ATV regulations in the state of Kentucky require the use of an approved helmet for all operators while on public land. Helmets are not required if engaged in agricultural activities, although the use of helmets is still highly recommended during any use of an ATV. Although ATV regulations do not mandate the use of eye protection or protective clothing, it is highly recommended to use all safety equipment available while operating any ATV.
ATV regulations also prohibit the use of an ATV on public roadways except for crossing of the road. Again, the only exception to this is if the ATV is being used for agricultural purposes. ATV regulations also state that an ATV cannot be operated on private property without the consent of the owner or individual responsible for the property.
According to the ATV regulations of Kentucky, the only required equipment necessary to operate an ATV is the use of a muffler. Most ATV's are purchased with working headlights, taillights and brakes, and it is highly recommended the operator make sure this equipment is installed and operating.
ATV regulations are required by each state to operate the ATV. Following the ATV regulations for an individual state is the responsibility of the owner or operator of the ATV and failure to do so could result in fines.
