THE PERFECT FIT
Suspension Quick Set-Up Guide
Introduction
The front suspension and PRO-XC rear suspension on your AXYS
snowmobile is incredibly easy to adjust. Just remember three simple
steps:
1. Ride your snowmobile!
2. Adjust the rear track shock spring to tune vehicle balance (ski
pressure and weight transfer).
3. Adjust shock clickers to tune ride quality (stiffer or softer ride).
Step 1: Ride your snowmobile!
Ride the snowmobile in various terrain to fully experience the existing
suspension settings before making any adjustments.
Step 2: Adjust the rear spring to tune vehicle balance.
After riding the snowmobile, you should be able to determine if the
snowmobile needs more “bite” or needs to be more “lite”. If the steering
needs more “bite”, increase the rear track spring preload or decrease the
front track spring preload.
If you prefer your snowmobile has lighter steering, decrease the rear
track spring preload or increase the front track shock spring preload.
At the front of the snowmobile, if you prefer a taller ride height,
increase the front suspension shock spring preload settings. Likewise, if
you prefer your snowmobile has a lower ride height, you can decrease
the front suspension shock spring preload settings.
Step 3: Adjust shock clickers for ride quality.
You can adjust the shock clickers to control bottoming and adjust ride
comfort. Turning a clicker counter-clockwise decreases damping for a
softer ride. Turning a clicker clockwise increases damping for a stiffer
ride and less bottoming.
NOTICE: Always adjust the clicker at least one click below full stiff (full
clockwise) or shock damage will occur.
Test ride the snowmobile and continue making spring and clicker
adjustments until you achieve the perfect ride.
