THE PERFECT FIT
Front Suspension Adjustments
Break in the suspension for approximately 150 miles (240 km) and
re-grease all suspension parts before fine-tuning adjustments are made.
Settings will vary from rider to rider, depending on rider weight,
vehicle speed, riding style, and trail conditions. We recommend
starting with factory settings and then customizing each adjustment
individually to suit rider preference. The machine should be
methodically tested under the same conditions after each adjustment
(trail and snow conditions, vehicle speed, riding position, etc.) until the
best ride is achieved. Adjustments should be made to one area at a
time in order to properly evaluate the change.
All snowmobile suspensions have a front and a rear suspension, each
of which has adjustment options.
Independent Front Suspension (IFS)
The IFS is made up of the skis (1),
front shocks and springs (2), and the
components that connect these
parts to both the steering, such
as the tie rods (3), and to the
machine itself, such as the
trailing arms (4). Front
suspension adjustments include
shocks, springs, toe, and
camber.
NOTE: Although the front
suspension on your machine
may not look exactly like the
illustration, it will have the
same parts and functions as
those illustrated.
