THE PERFECT FIT

Front Suspension Adjustments

Break in the suspension for approximately 150 miles (240 km) and
re-grease all suspension parts before making any fine-tuning
adjustments.
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 machine 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.
Independent Front Suspension (IFS)
The IFS is made up of the skis (1),
front shocks and springs (2), and the
components that connect these parts
to both the steering, such as the tie
rods (3), and to the machine itself,
such as the trailing arms (4).
Front suspension adjustments

include shocks, springs, toe,
and camber.
NOTE: Although the front
suspension on your machine
may not look exactly like the

illustration, it will have the
same parts and functions as

those illustrated.
