THE PERFECT FIT
Front Suspension Adjustments
Independent Front Suspension (IFS)
Factory settings, combined with user adjustments to the rear shock
spring, should be all that’s necessary to provide the best riding
experience for most riders. If all rear shock spring adjustments have
been exhausted and rider weight is at the very high or very low weight
range for the stock spring, additional adjustments are possible to the
IFS.
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 snowmobile should be methodically tested,
one change at a time, under the same conditions (trail and snow
conditions, vehicle speed, riding position, etc.) after each adjustment
until the best ride is achieved.
Break in the suspension for about 150 miles (240 km) before making
adjustments to the front suspension.
