Suspension Performance Tips
S
Rider weight usually determines the position at which the spring pre-
load should be set. However, this may vary with riding style. With
a little experimentation, each rider can find a preferred set-up. These
adjustments are easy to make, involve very little time or effort, and
greatly affect the ride.

A new slider will offer improved performance over a worn slider. It
can also improve top speed.

When riding on ice or hard-packed snow, adding a set of bogie
wheels to the rail may enhance the machine’s performance. Bogie
wheel kits are available from your dealer.

Polaris offers track kits for improved flotation in deep snow. See
your dealer for assistance.
NOTE: Keep the suspension pivot points lubricated. This will reduce
moisture and rust build-up and ensure proper function of the
suspension components. Grease rear suspension pivots
before adjusting the rear suspension. Refer to Suspension
Maintenance beginning on page 98.
