THE PERFECT FIT

Rear Suspension Adjustments

Shock Compression Damping

Your snowmobile is equipped with the Indy Select rear shock, which

allows for adjustments to the compression valving.
1. Locate the adjustment screw near the base of the shock.
2. Adjust the screw 1/2 turn clockwise to increase compression valv-

ing and stiffen the ride. Test ride the snowmobile before making

further adjustments.

NOTE: An excessive adjustment can result in damage to the shock.

When adjusting these shocks, we recommend that you turn the

screw only 1/2 turn at a time, then test ride.

3. Adjust the screw 1/2 turn counterclockwise to reduce compression

and soften the ride.

There are approximately three full turns of adjustment available. If bot-

toming continues after the screw has been turned fully clockwise, the

torsion spring should be adjusted (see page 36). Return the screw to its

original starting position after the torsion spring has been tightened.
