M-10 Adjustments; M-10 Fra Initial Set Up Reference - Polaris 340 CLASSIC 2006 Manual

M-10 ADJUSTMENTS

The primary adjustment on the M-10 suspension is the Full
Range Adjustment (FRA). Adjusting the FRA will have to
MOST effect on rear suspension performance.
Polaris recommends that you allow between 25 to 200 miles
for the suspension to break in before performing any
adjustments to the suspension.
This chart is a guideline to be used for initial suspension
setups. Your setup may vary based on your desired riding
style.

REAR SUSPENSION

M-10 FRA INITIAL SET UP REFERENCE

The FRA setting is the primary rear suspension adjustment. It
will have the MOST effect on the rear suspension
performance. To adjust the FRA:.
1. Refer to the initial set-up reference chart (see Table 11-
2and Table 11-3) to determine the desired FRA position.
2. To adjust, loosen the hex bolts (A) attaching the rear lower
shock cross shaft to the rail beam.
3. Using a 9/16" wrench, loosen the jam nuts (B) on the
preload bolts.
4. Adjust the preload bolts (C) to the desired FRA position.
5. Tighten the jam nuts.
NOTE: Make sure the preload bolt contacts the slide
block before tightening the jam nut.
6. Tighten the hex bolts and torque to 35 ft. lbs. (47 Nm)
NOTE: When the M-10 suspension is new, it will take
from 25 to 200 miles (40-300 km) to properly break in
the springs and shocks, at which time the
suspension will be softer and may require FRA re-
adjustment.
