THE PERFECT FIT
Rear Suspension Adjustments
Rider weight, riding style, trail conditions, and vehicle speed all affect
suspension action.
Each rear suspension can be adjusted to suit rider preference and
deliver excellent performance for a given set of conditions. However,
all suspension designs and adjustments involve a compromise, or
trade-off. For example, a suspension set up for snow-cross racing
would provide a very stiff ride on the trail. A suspension set up for
trail riding would bottom out harshly on a snow-cross course.
A decal outlining rear suspension set-up options is located either under
the hood or on the clutch cover. It provides a guideline for initial
suspension set-up. Additional adjustments can be made from this
point. Make adjustments to one area at a time so you can evaluate the
change. For further assistance, see your dealer.
