Many people spend a lot of money on the maintenance of their snowmobile, but in vain because most of the times they are using the wrong ways to keep their snowmobile running in a good condition. Today we are going to learn the cost-effective and easy methods to maintain your snowmobile in a good condition and have a good snowmobiling season.
1. PRE-SEASON CHECK: You should perform a pre-season check on your snowmobile to check for any damage that can hinder your snowmobile's performance in the upcoming season.
2. CHECK YOUR ENGINE: You should keep a check on your engine and keep the levels of engine fluids maintained. It is always advised to use your vehicle's recommended oil brand to increase the life of your vehicle.
3. KEEPING YOUR SNOWMOBILE CLEAN: You should keep your snowmobile clean all the time as it increases the life of the machinery. You should get your snowmobile serviced after a long ride and also try to prevent corrosion of the parts by yourself. You should also try to prevent the dust from accumulating over your vehicle. The best way to ensure this is to keep your snowmobile in a closed container when not in use.
4. TUNING: You should keep your engine happier and efficient by getting it properly tuned after using it for a particular period suggested by the manufacturer.
5. Checking driver's belt: Safety's first, you should check the driver's belt before riding your snowmobile every time to avoid accidents. A broken driver's belt can not only result in an injury but it can also be dangerous for your engine, so in order to prevent this from happening you should check if the driver's belt's teeth are worn out as they could slip and even shred during the ride.
6. SUSPENSIONS, BRAKING AND SLEDS: Check on the vehicle's suspension system are necessary to give you a smooth ride. Check if the wheel bearings are in good condition. Keep an eye on the condition of the rubbers and also keep your chain clean, oiled and chain case in a good condition. Check the braking pads and replace them if they are worn out. Take proper care of your sleds as a slight damage to them can ruin you and your career, check the alignment of the sleds and their condition because even if a small area of the sled is damaged, replace the whole sled as the sleds are in the direct contact with the ground.
