THE PERFECT FIT
IQ Front Suspension Adjustments
Air Shocks
Walker Evans air shocks can be adjusted for preload and valving. Please
see your Polaris dealer for these adjustments.
Standard Shocks
The tension at which the shock coil spring is set is called spring preload.
For the best ride, the suspension should be adjusted to use the full travel
of the shocks with occasional light bottoming. To determine if your
machine is using full travel, push the jounce bumper down on the shock
rod until it contacts the body and test ride the machine. The bumper will
move up on the rod in relation to the amount of travel that was used dur-
ing the ride. If the travel is full, the bumper will be seated at the top of
the rod.
