Check Your Fluids

First, you want to check the fluids in your powersports vehicle and top off any low levels. Ensure the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid are clear and consistent and meet or exceed the manufacturer's specifications. If they aren’t up to the mark, replace them with fresh fluids before leaving home.

Inspect Belts and Hoses

It's also important to inspect all belts and hoses before heading out on your spring ride. Look for cracks or fraying along the length of each belt and replace a torn hose as quickly as possible.

Maintain Your Battery

Next, you want to check your battery connections and ensure all terminals are clean and tight when preparing your powersports vehicle for springtime riding. Ideally, reinstall your battery (if you removed it) and give it a full charge. If it isn’t charging or holding the charge, replace it before hitting the road.

Clean Your Powersports Vehicle

Once you have taken care of the above, deep clean your powersports vehicle to ensure it looks spotless and tidy. This will help remove any dust and debris that accumulated on it during storage.
