THE PERFECT FIT

Front Suspension Adjustments

Shock Compression Damping

Adjustments to the compres-

sion stiffness of Indy Select

shocks can be made by turning

the adjustment screw located

near the base of the shock. This

adjustment is the easiest to per-

form and it should be consid-

ered first.

The factory setting for this

shock is the softest position,

with the adjusting screw all the

way out (counterclockwise). If

bottoming occurs, the Indy

Select feature should be used to achieve the desired ride. The shocks

have a wide range of adjustment capability. By turning the screw clock-

wise, the compression of the shock increases, stiffening the ride.

When

adjusting these shocks, we recommend that you turn the screw only 1/4

turn at a time, then test ride. Always adjust both shocks equally.

Front Springs

For models without externally adjustable or revalvable shocks, the front

springs can be changed if spring preload alone isn’t sufficient and fur-

ther adjustment is desired to control suspension stiffness. See your

Polaris dealer for more information.
