A Riverside CA Motorsports Dealer On Jet Ski Care And Maintenance

By Carla Bergoba


Riding a Jet Ski is an exciting way to get out onto the water. Few things compare to the feeling of sailing across a body of water with friends and family. Whether alone or riding a two person jet ski, safety is always an issue.

To make sure one's jet ski performs optimally out on the water, it is important to give it proper care and maintenance during its time on land. There are certain things a recreation enthusiasts can do to keep their machine at peak performance levels.

The most important thing you can do for a jet ski is to maintain its engine fluids. Several older models require premixed fuel and oil to feed their 2-stroke engines. Newer 4-stroke engines have separate oil and fuel areas. Make sure to evaluate your fuel properly when taking your Jet Ski out for the first time this season. If it was stored with fuel only and no stabilizer, you'll need to add a stabilizer and fuel cleaner before you start. Dispose of any old fuel responsibly.

A CA motorsports dealer in Riverside County can do a tune up on 2-stroke and 4-stroke Jet Skis if they have been idle through the winter months. They can take care of an oil and filter change, fuel drain, wear ring, prop, and anode inspection, extinguisher and compression check, visual and ride plate inspection, and a coolant check (when applicable).

The tech can also change the spark plugs, perform prop service, rebuild the engine or top end, adjust valves, supercharger R&R, or replace or rebuild the pump. They will take the tie to check for any loose or damaged parts such as trim, throttle cables, and wires. The seat and windshield should be cleaned to prevent stains or corrosion. Adding grease to the seals and bearing fittings, and lubricating the moving parts, will benefit performance.

To have the maximum number of years to enjoy the excitement of riding jet skis, it is important to always keep it properly maintained.
