THE PERFECT FIT
IQ Front Suspension Adjustments
Walker Evans Air Shocks
Walker Evans Air shocks are oil filled shocks that use nitrogen pressure
for spring force.These shocks are tuned for high performance riding in a
wide range of winter riding conditions.You will notice slight differ-
ences in ride height and spring rate at high and low temperature
extremes. Sled will sit higher at room temperature on showroom
floor. This will not affect the overall shock tuning or ride quality.
Always have your Walker Evans Air Shocks serviced annually to
replenish the Nitrogen charge and refresh the oil.
Troubleshooting
• See your dealer for any damaged parts or service items.
• Always install foam sleeve on IFS for service and trailering.
• Your dealer must always recharge both IFS shocks if charge pressure is in question.
Checking pressure without recharging is not possible without loosing pressure.
If One IFS Shock Feels Soft
• Check front suspension components for bent parts (look closely at rear
leg of lower A-arm) before continuing with shock troubleshooting.
• Look for oil leakage around shaft seal. If leaking, rebuild with new seal
and check for any nicks or dings in shaft.
• Always remove and recharge both IFS shocks together.
If Both IFS Shocks Feel Soft
• Remember that at extreme temperature (lower than -15 degrees F) the
IFS may have more free sag and feel slightly softer.
• Always remove and recharge both IFS shocks together.
If Front Track Shock Feels Soft
• Remember that at extreme temperature (lower than -15 degrees F) the
IFS may have more free sag and feel slightly softer.
• Check for oil leakage around the shock boot or shaft seal if boot is
removed. If leaking rebuild with new seal and check for any nicks or dings
in shaft.
• Recharge Front Track Shock to specification.
