SUSPENSION QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
WARNING
Suspension systems contain moving components that can crush or cut. Keep
hands clear of the suspension while the engine is running, someone is sitting
on the seat, or the suspension is in motion. NEVER adjust the suspension
while vehicle is in operation.
The front and rear suspensions on your MATRYX RMK snowmobile are 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 (if equipped) 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, you should be able to determine if the snowmobile needs more or
less transfer.
• For more transfer, decrease the rear track spring preload.
• For less transfer, increase the rear track spring preload.
For lighter steering, decrease the rear track spring preload or increase the front
track shock spring preload.
Step 3: Adjust shock clickers (if equipped) for ride quality.
For models equipped with monotube shocks, always adjust the rear track shock
spring preload to enhance bottoming resistance.
Walker Evans Velocity Racing® shocks come equipped with an inside clicker
(low-speed) and an outside clicker (high-speed). These clickers adjust shock
compression for high- and low-speed trail events. Adjust the clickers to control
bottoming and adjust ride comfort.
