THE PERFECT FIT

Front Suspension Adjustments

Break in the suspension for approximately 150 miles (240 km) and

re-grease all suspension parts before making any fine-tuning

adjustments.
Settings will vary from rider to rider, depending on rider weight,

vehicle speed, riding style, and trail conditions. We recommend

starting with factory settings and then customizing each adjustment

individually to suit rider preference. The machine should be

methodically tested, one change at a time, under the same conditions

(trail and snow conditions, vehicle speed, riding position, etc.) after

each adjustment until the best ride is achieved.

Independent Front Suspension (IFS)

The IFS is made up of the skis (1),

front shocks and springs (2), and the

components that connect these parts

to both the steering, such as the tie

rods (3), and to the machine itself,

such as the trailing arms (4).

Front suspension adjustments

include shocks, springs, toe,

and camber.
NOTE: Although the front

suspension on your machine

may not look exactly like the

illustration, it will have the

same parts and functions as

those illustrated.
