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.

In order for a jet ski to operate optimally in the water, it must receive proper maintenance and care when stored on land. Keeping the machine functioning at peak performance levels requires the recreation enthusiast to conduct certain tasks.

Maintaining engine fluids is one of the most important part of caring for a jet ski. Many older models have 2-stroke engines that require the oil and fuel to be premixed. The newer ones utilize a 4-stroke engine which keeps these elements separate. This aspect needs to be carefully evaluated before the machine is used for the first time each season. If it was not given a stabilizer while in storage, that and a fuel cleaner will need to be added before use. Old fuel should be disposed of 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.

They can also do a tune up including spark plugs, prop service, engine or top end rebuild, a valve adjustment, supercharger R&R, or a pump replacement or rebuild. A CA motorsports dealer Riverside County can check for any damaged or loose parts, including wires, trim, and throttle cables. They can clean the seat and windshield to prevent staining or corrosion. They can add grease to bearing fittings and all seals, plus lubricate all the parts.

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