THE PERFECT FIT
Front Suspension Adjustments
Independent Front Suspension (IFS)
Break in the suspension for about 150 miles (240 km) 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.
IFS Components
1. Skis
2. Front shocks and springs
3. Rod ends
4. Trailing arms
IFS Adjustment Options
• Shock damping (if equipped
with Indy Select shocks)
• Front shock spring preload
• Optional springs
• Toe (ski alignment) (see
page 114)
• Camber (see your dealer)
