THE PERFECT FIT
Rear Suspension Adjustments
Front Track Shock Compression Damping
Make adjustments to the
shock clicker to control bot-
toming. Make the adjust-
ments in 2-click increments,
then test ride. Repeat the
adjustment until the desired
result is achieved.
TIP:Initially, heavier riders may
want to set the shock click-
ers 2-4 clicks higher than
lighter riders.
The standard clicker setting
is 2 clicks from the softest
position.
• Turn the clicker clockwise for a stiffer ride.
• Turn the clicker counter-clockwise for a softer ride.
Front Track Shock Spring Preload
Increasing spring preload will decrease
ski-to-ground pressure. Decreasing
spring preload will increase ski-to-
ground pressure.
The initial preload setting is one inch
(2.5 cm) from body end to spring. To
change shock spring preload, grasp the
spring retainer and rotate it.
Increasing the spring preload too much
may adversely affect the handling of the
snowmobile and the performance of the
suspension.
When decreasing preload, make sure at
least two turns of preload are holding the
spring between the retainer on the top of
the shock and the threaded spring preload
adjuster nut on the shock body. Failure to do so could cause the retainer
to fall off when the suspension is fully extended.
TIP:Other spring options are available. Please see your POLARIS dealer.
