MAINTENANCE
Steering Assembly
Check the steering assembly of the vehicle periodically for loose nuts
and bolts. If loose nuts and bolts are found, see your Polaris dealer for
service before operating the vehicle.
Handlebar Adjustment
The handlebars can be adjusted for rider preference.
1. Remove the upper headlight pod.
2. Loosen the four handlebar bolts.
3. Adjust the handlebar to the desired
height.
NOTE: 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 14-17
N-m, then torque the rear two
bolts. A gap of up to 3 mm will
remain at the rear of the clamp
blocks.
Rear Spring
The rear shock absorber spring is
adjusted by rotating the adjuster
either clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease spring tension.
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. Follow the adjustment procedures
exactly, or see your Polaris dealer for service.
