A Riverside CA Motorsports Dealer On Jet Ski Care And Maintenance

By Carla Bergoba


Being out on the water with friends and family is a wonderful way to spend the day. Riding single, or tandem, on a jet ski can make the adventure even more thrilling, though safety should always be observed. A Riverside County CA Motorsports Dealer can provide information and advice.

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.

If the machine has been idle all through the winter, it may be best to get a tune up from a qualified technician. Both two and four stroke engines need inspections of their wear ring, prop, and anode, a fuel drain, oil and filter change, ride and visual plate inspection, and checks on the coolant, compression, and extinguisher.

The tech can take care of rebuilding or replacing the pump, do a top end or engine rebuild, valve adjustment, supercharger R&R, change spark plugs, and perform prop service. They have the ability to check for damaged or loose elements like throttle cables, wires, and trim. Cleaning the windshield and seat can prevent corrosion and staining. Performance is enhanced by lubricating moving parts and greasing the bearing fittings and seals.

Keep your Jet Ski running properly at all times so that its' life can be extended, leaving you with more time to simply get out on the water and have some fun!
