Preparing Your Powersports Vehicle For Spring

Now that spring is here, powersports enthusiasts everywhere are planning their springtime riding events. It’s important to make sure that your powersports vehicle is ready to go, though, before you take it to an off-roading area or nature trail. Here are some quick ways to prepare your powersports vehicle for spring riding.

Clean & Inspect

If your powersports vehicle is dusty, it can be helpful to give it a good wash and scrub now. You can also better inspect the powersports vehicle for signs of damage or maintenance issues you need to address when it’s all clean.

Change Oil

It’s also likely that the oil in your powersports vehicle could use a change so that it’s clean and not sludgy. Make sure to change the oil filter at the same time.

Air Up Tires

Look over the tires on your powersports vehicle and replace them if they seem worn down or have them repaired if you spy embedded objects or sense that there’s a leak. Air up the tires to the recommended psi levels in your owner’s manual.

Do a Test Ride

Take your powersports vehicle to your backyard or another safe place free of obstacles to ride it around a bit and make sure everything functions as it should. It’s best to test the vehicle close to home to make sure nothing is amiss, rather than experiencing a breakdown in the middle of nowhere.
