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.

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.

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.

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.

Maintaining jet skis properly always will extend their functional life and allow one to enjoy the excitement of riding them for many years.
