Carburetor Rebuild
If your dirt bike has been sitting and has bad gas, lets rebuild the carburetor and get it running good as new.
When gas sits in the carburetor to long is goes bad and turns into a green gummy varnish that damages the engine
and keeps your bike from running well. Common symptoms of a clogged carb include engine backfires and sputtering, difficulty
starting the bike, and sometimes a sticky throttle.
Having your carburetor cleaned or rebuilt doesn't take long and will significantly affect the way your machine runs.
It's important to use quality parts or use the original parts when possible as some carburetor rebuild kits differ from the
original manufacturer pieces and can cause tuning problems. Contact the mechanics at Alpine XC to schedule your carburetor
rebuild today.

Dirt Bike Maintenance
Oil and other fluid changes
Consistent oil changes are one of the most important factors for making your UTV last for a long time.
Dumonde Tech and Amsoil products are a sure way to lengthen engine life.
Refer to your owners manual for specific direction considering how often to change your oil. However, our
mechanics recommend changing your oil at the start of every season, or anytime you notice dark or sludgy oil.
Remember that its much cheaper to replace your oil and other fluids than it is to replace engine components. If you
notice oil or other fluids leaking from your machine contact our sxs maintenance experts to get it fixed.
When changing your oil its also be a good idea to check your other fluids such as coolant.

Brake Maintenance
Brakes maintenance is essential for the safety of any vehicle. Check your brakes each spring at the beginning of riding
season or any time you notice unusual behavior or performance such as squeaking or scraping sounds, or a loss of stopping
power. Check the thickness of your brake pads, if they are 1/8th inch thick or less they should be replaced.
We recommend new brake pads from Renthal, galfer, or EBC due to the superior stopping power they offer.
Also, check
your brake fluid to make sure it is is filled to the proper level. If it is too low you may have a leak somewhere that
needs repaired. If you notice any water or contaminants in your brake fluid it may need to be replaced. A third thing to
inspect when checking your brakes is the rotors. Grooved or warped rotors should be replaced as they may compromise the
safety of the SxS. Alpine XC has sxs maintenance experts who can help with any brake repair.

Winter Storage
Winterizing your machine is an important part of SxS maintenance. You can properly prepare your machine for storage during
the winter to prevent gas from going bad. Old gas turns into a
green tarnish that can damage your engine, prevent your machine from starting, and cause misfires. Bad gas is
difficult to dispose of properly and if left in your machine the gas tank and
carburetor will need to be cleaned to
get your machine running properly again. The best method is to prevent these problems by draining the gas tank and
carburetor before storage. Another good option is to add fuel stabilizer to your tank before storing for extended
periods of time.

Fading Plastics
Faded plastics lower the value of your SxS and make it look old. Damage from the sun is one of the biggest contributors
to faded plastics. So if you have the space, store your machine in a garage or covered location to protect it from the
sun. If your side by side has fallen victim to faded plastics, we recommend using SC1 spray to restore a high quality
gloss shine.

Air Filter
Clean and oil your air filter regularly to keep air flowing to your engine, keep dirt and other contaminants
out, and make your machine run its best. Many stock SxS filters are paper filters and can't be cleaned but will need
to be replaced instead. When you replace your air filter consider what type of filter to use.
We recommend using a funnel web, twin air, pre oiled, or Maxima pro filter for quality performance.

Tires
Maintain an appropriate air pressure for the style of riding you're doing. Lower air pressure is good for slow
speeds and situations where you need traction such as rock climbing. Riding with low tire pressure for too long
may increase your likelihood of the tire coming off the rim, so use good judgement with your tires.
High pressures are better for fast speeds and smooth surfaces.
Check tires for cracking, abnormal wear, and other damage before riding. It is also a good idea to make sure the lug
nuts are tightened and nothing looks out of the ordinary. Tires often need replaced. Fortunately, we stock
a variety of Dunlop, IRC, Shinko, Michelin, Bridgestone and other brands to allows you to get a great selection.

Suspension Maintenance
Forks and Shocks need annual service to protect internal components and prevent leaks.
Amsoil and KYB lubricants provide clean and slick surfaces to reduce stiction.
SKF and Race Tech seals and bushings provide tight tolerances for the perfect fit.

Desert Tank
A desert tank can be a nice addition if you don't want to worry about filling up so often. A larger tank is an obvious choice
for desert. We'll make sure that your new tank fits your bike perfectly and you'll feel confident knowing that
you can go further in your next ride without needing to fill up with gas.

Exhaust
A new pipe not only looks great, but can also improve the performance of your 2 stroke.
A Pro Circuit, FMF, or other quality pipe will be a great addition to your dirt bike. We also provide and
install top of the line spark arrestors. A spark arrestor is a must have since many trails and races require them.
Contact our friendly staff for
help ordering or installing your exhaust, or to ask for recommendations on which exhaust would be best for bike.
