Preparing Your Powersports Vehicle For Spring Riding

With the warmer temperatures on the horizon, many avid powersports enthusiasts are getting excited about springtime off-roading. However, your powersports vehicle may have been sitting in storage for weeks or months, so there are some things you need to do before you can ride it safely.

Clean & Inspect Your Vehicle

Once you pull your vehicle out of storage, you’ll want to give it a thorough cleaning since it’s probably dusty. You can then inspect your powersports vehicle and make note of any necessary repairs or parts you might have to replace. 

Change the Oil

The oil in your powersports vehicle’s engine needs to be clean and viscous, so an oil change is typically in order. Fresh oil will properly lubricate the moving parts of your vehicle’s engine so that it works properly. You’ll also want to change the oil filter.

Examine & Air Up Your Tires

The tires on your powersports vehicle endure a lot on those rugged paths, so you should look them over carefully for signs of wear, including cracks in the sidewall or balding treads. Always replace worn-out tires before your next ride. Use a tire-pressure gauge to check the psi levels of each tire and air them up according to the levels in your owner’s manual.
