A Guide to Powersport Vehicle Service

You can count on your powersports vehicle to provide you with an ideal combination of efficiency, safety, and thrilling adventure. But only if you take care of them! Just like bigger machines, your powersports vehicle needs the right kind of service to keep running the way you want it to. That’s why we have provided some tips to get you started.

Always Consult Your Owner’s Manual

First and foremost, check your owner’s manual for specifics on caring for and servicing your powersports vehicle. While we can give you some general tips that apply to lots of different models, each ATV, motorcycle, and side-by-side is a little different and the only way to really understand the details of your model is to check your owner’s manual. We highly recommend reading through it before attempting any maintenance checks to avoid mistakenly using products that aren’t good for your powersports vehicle or performing a check incorrectly.

Driveline Service

The engine in your powersport vehicle transfers its power to the wheels using some form of a driveline. This usually takes the form of a chain or belt system, so you’ll want to know how to care for this part of your machine to ensure that it’s not only going to get your vehicle moving but doing so efficiently. Inspect for tears and lubricate as needed. Also, check the tension so it’s not too slack or too tight.

This should hopefully help you get started, but there are lots of other important checks you should be performing on your powersports vehicle on a regular basis.
