MAINTENANCE

Handlebars

The handlebars can be adjusted for rider preference.

WARNING! Improper adjustment of the handlebars or incorrect torquing of the

adjuster block tightening bolts can cause limited steering or loosening of the

handlebars, resulting in loss of control and serious injury or death. Follow the

adjustment procedures exactly, or see your Polaris dealer for service.

1. Remove the upper headlight

pod.

2. Loosen the four handlebar

bolts.

3. Adjust the handlebar to the

desired height. Be sure the

handlebars do not contact the

gas tank or any other part of

the machine when turned fully

to the left or right.

4. Torque the front two bolts to

10-12 ft. lbs. (14-17 Nm), then

torque the rear two bolts. A

gap of up to 1/8" (3 mm) will

remain at the rear of the clamp

blocks.
