MAINTENANCE

Toe Alignment

Use the following procedure to check the toe alignment of the vehicle.

The recommended toe alignment is 1/8" to 1/4" (3-6 mm) toe out.
1. Position the vehicle on a

level surface.

2. Place the handlebars in a

straight-ahead position.

3. Tie a length of string between

two stands as shown in the

illustration. Position the

stands so that the string is

flush with the side of the rear

tire.

NOTE:

If available, you may use a

long straight-edge instead

of string.

4. Measure the distance from

the string to the rim at the

front (1) and rear (2) of the

front rim. The rear measure-

ment should be 1/16"-1/8"

(2-3 mm) more than the front

measurement on each side of

the vehicle to obtain the rec-

ommended 1/8" to 1/4" (3-6

mm) toe out alignment.

5. Repeat the measurement procedure on the other side of the vehicle.

NOTE:

If you discover improper alignment, see your Polaris dealer for service.

WARNING

Severe injury or death can result from improper toe alignment and

adjustment. Do not attempt to adjust tie rod alignment. All tie rod adjustments

should be performed by an authorized Polaris dealer.
