Extend the Lifespan of Your Powersports Vehicle

When you buy a big-ticket item like a powersports vehicle, you really want to make sure that it’s going to last you for a long time. While these vehicles are built to be tough and long-lasting, there are plenty of things you can do to make them last even longer. Here are our tips on how to get the most out of your powersports vehicle.

Break It In

If you take the time to gently ride your powersports vehicle when it’s new, you can break it in to prevent damage that occurs from using it at its highest capacity right off the bat. Riding at a slower speed around a flat grassy area or down a gentle nature trail are good ways to break in the vehicle.

Clean It Often

Keeping your powersports vehicle clean will help you to maintain it more easily. Try to rinse it off every other ride or so, to prevent build-up of grime and mud that can stiffen up moving parts and gunk up your engine. Give the vehicle a thorough washing before putting it into storage.

Stay on Top of Maintenance

Finally, you’ll need to ensure that you’re always staying on top of your powersports vehicle’s maintenance needs. Taking care of oil changes and other tasks promptly will help prolong the life of your vehicle’s engine, while replacing worn tires and other worn parts will prevent a breakdown from occurring.
