THE PERFECT FIT

WideTrak Rear Suspension Adjustments

Rear Spring Settings

Rear spring adjustment is primarily a control for riding comfort. To

check for the recommended settings:

1. Lift the rear of the snowmobile to relieve the rear springs.
2. Slowly lower the snowmobile and measure the distance between the

ground and the running board.

3. Without letting the suspension settle, the rider should carefully

mount the snowmobile.

4. Measure the distance between the ground and the same spot on the

running board.

The difference between the two measurements should be approximately

1 1/2" (3.8 cm). If the difference is greater than 1 1/2", the rear spring

should be adjusted equally on both sides until the desired 1 1/2" drop is

obtained.
Compensating adjustments for heavy or light drivers or cargo loads can

be made by adjusting the rear spring eye bolt length. Adjust spring ten-

sion so there is equal tension on the long leg of each spring.

Tip: Rear spring settings will affect ski-to-ground pressure. If ski pressure is too

light it may be desirable to tighten the rear springs for an increase in ski-to-

ground pressure.
