THE PERFECT FIT
IQ Front Suspension Adjustments
Front Shock Spring Preload
(RMK Premium and Switchback Only)
NOTE: The shocks are similar in appearance. The RMK Premium
shock is shown.
Increasing spring preload will
increase ski-to-ground pressure.
Decreasing spring preload will
decrease ski-to-ground pressure.
When adjusting, be sure the
springs on both the left and right
sides of the machine are at the
same adjustment.
To increase front shock spring
preload, grasp the spring and turn
it to the left. Turn it to the right to
decrease preload.
A: Low preload
B: High preload
Increasing the spring preload too
much may adversely affect the
handling of the snowmobile and
the performance of the suspension.
Never exceed one inch of preload
beyond the factory settings, and
ensure that both sides are adjusted
the same. When decreasing
preload, make sure at least two
turns of preload are holding the
spring between the retainer on top
of the shock and the threaded
spring preload adjuster nut on the
shock body.
