THE PERFECT FIT
Front Suspension Adjustments
Shock Spring Preload
The factory preload setting should be appropriate for most riders and
conditions. Please see your Polaris dealer for assistance before attempt-
ing to adjust preload.
Increasing the spring preload too much may adversely affect the han-
dling of the snowmobile and the performance of the rear suspension.
Decreasing the spring preload too much may allow the spring retainer to
fall off.
The springs can be changed if spring preload alone isn't sufficient and
further adjustment is desired to control suspension stiffness. See your
Polaris dealer for more information.
Shock Valving
Shocks can be revalved if spring preload alone isn't sufficient and fur-
ther adjustment is desired to control suspension stiffness.
WARNING
Changing shock valving requires special tools and a sound knowledge of
mechanical theory, tool use, and shop procedures to perform the work safely
and correctly. Shocks contain high-pressure nitrogen gas. Use extreme cau-
tion when handling high-pressure service equipment. We recommend that
this work be performed by a Polaris dealer.
