THE PERFECT FIT
IQ Front Suspension Adjustments
Front Shock Springs
(Standard Only)
The front 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.
Front Shock Spring Rate
(Assault Model)
The Assault IFS shocks are equipped
with an adjustable spring rate feature.
This adjustment will not affect the pre-
load (ride height) of the vehicle. There
are eight lines scribed in the body of the
reservoir that represent the adjustment
range of the spring rate. To make
adjustments, turn the large red cap on
the reservoir with the aluminum
wrench supplied with your vehicle.
NOTICE: To avoid damage, use only the
supplied wrench to adjust the
shock. Never use the service port
as it may crack and cause a loss
of pressure.
As viewed from the bottom of the cap:
• Turn the cap clockwise for a stiffer
ride.
• Turn the cap counterclockwise for a
softer ride.
The shocks are delivered in the full soft
position (8th line). Each line represents
approximately 40 pounds of spring rate
at mid stroke on the shock. Make
adjustments in two line increments
maximum, as this will have a large
effect on the ride of the vehicle.
