Nov. 27 2024 Maintenance By LeMond's Motorsports

Keeping your powersports vehicles at their peak performance requires regular care and maintenance. In this guide, we will walk you through the essential steps for the routine service of your powersports rides.

The Necessity of Regular Servicing 

Your powersports vehicle, just like any other machine with moving parts, needs regular maintenance. Regular service ensures smooth operation, increases longevity, enhances durability, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces the risk of breakdowns or accidents.

Daily Checks 

Basic daily checks significantly extend your powersports vehicle's lifespan and help maintain optimal condition. These checks include inspecting oil levels, tire pressure and treads, brake functions, battery health, fluid levels (including brake and transmission fluid, as well as coolant), chains/belts condition, lights, horns, and mirrors.

Periodic Maintenance

While daily checks are crucial, equally important is periodic maintenance performed every few months or after a certain mileage. Tasks encompass replacing oil filters, flushing engine oils, servicing air filters, and spark plug replacements among others.

Professional Vehicle Servicing 

Though many aspects of maintenance can be undertaken at home by the vehicle owner using basic tools and manufacturer manuals, some tasks require a professional touch. Therefore, getting your powersports vehicle serviced by professional technicians from time to time is highly beneficial. Such services include valve adjustments or carburetor cleanings which tend to be complex.
