MAINTENANCE

Handlebar Adjustment

Your ATV has handlebars

which can be adjusted for

your personal fit.

1. Locate handlebar bolts.

On models with a head-

light pod, it will be neces-

sary to remove the upper

headlight pod. On other

models remove the han-

dlebar cover.

2. Loosen the four bolts.

3. Adjust handlebar to de-

sired height. Be sure han-

dlebars do not hit gas tank

or any other part of ma-

chine when turned fully to

left or right.

4. Torque handlebar adjuster

block bolts to 10 to 12 ft.

lbs.

NOTE: Tighten bolts so there is an equal gap at the front and rear

of the handlebar block. Improper gap will result in improper fit of

upper pod.

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 and pos-

sible serious personal injury or death.
