Spring 2025 Powersports Maintenance Checklist

Spring Banner

Springtime is the ideal time to prepare your powersports vehicles for the new riding season. Whether an ATV, UTV, motorcycle, or personal watercraft is your vehicle of choice, regular maintenance provides you with peak performance and longer lifespan. Below is a comprehensive Spring 2025 Powersports Maintenance Checklist to enable you to ride on the road or trail with confidence.

  • Charge and Test the Battery

    After sitting for a winter, your battery could be dead. Check the voltage and charge as needed. If it’s a finicky battery to hold charge, replace it to avoid issues on a ride.

  • Change the Oil and Filters

    New oil and a new filter are crucial to your engine. Consult the owner’s manual for types of oil and time intervals that are recommended. New air and fuel filters equal good gas mileage and aeration

  • Tire and Suspension Inspections

    Inspect tire tread wear, cracks, and low tread. Good handling is based on proper tire pressure. Inspect for leaks, damage, or wear in suspension parts.

  • Brake inspections

    Inspect front and rear brakes, pads, rotors, and brake fluid level. Low brake pads decrease braking power, so replace brake pads. Brake fluid should be new and be at the proper level.

  • Electrical Parts and Test Lights

    Inspect headlight, brake light, turn signal, and other electric functions. Electrical problems can result in less performance and safety.

  • Cables and Controls Inspect

    Check clutch and throttle cables for smooth movement. Lubricate moving parts to avoid stiffness or binding.

  • Clean and Lubricate the Chain (As Required)

    A lubricated chain extends ride and sprocket life. Install tension as per the manufacturer’s manual.

  • Fuel System Maintenance

    Damp or old fuel will cause engine problems. Drain and flush stale fuel if your car was not used for an extended time. Clean fuel injectors or a carburetor to avoid clogging.

  • Cooling System Check

    Check coolant hoses and levels for cracks or leaks. Overheating will cause severe engine damage, so a working cooling system is important.

  • Final Safety Inspection

    Take a final walk-around before departing to check that all is working correctly. Loosen any loose bolts, check the fluids, and make a quick test drive to check everything works.
