A Riverside CA Motorsports Dealer On Jet Ski Care And Maintenance

By Carla Bergoba


There is almost nothing that compares to the excitement of speeding over water and having fun with friends and family. A jet ski is a wonderfully exciting way to experience this sensation. Safety is always a priority and a Riverside County CA Motorsports Dealer can give valuable tips.

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.

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.

It is a good idea to have a trained technician do a tune up on the machine if it has set idle during the winter months. Whether two or four stroke engines, they can get a coolant check, visual and ride plate inspection, extinguisher and compression checks, inspections on the anode, prop, wear ring, fuel drain, as well as a oil and filter change.

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.

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!
