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 maintenance of engine fluids is a key part of taking care of jet skis. The older models with 2-stroke engines require the premixing of the oil and fuel. New designs feature a 4-stroke engine in which these two factors are kept separated. Before using the machine for the first time of the season, be sure to check this situation carefully. If no stabilizer was added when it was put into storage, one will need to be added when prepped for use, as well as a fuel cleaner. Responsibly dispose of any old fuel.

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 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.

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