THE PERFECT FIT
Rear Suspension Adjustments
Front Track Shock Compression Damping
Make adjustments to the shock
clicker to control bottoming. Make
the adjustments in 2-click incre-
ments, then test ride. Repeat the
adjustment until the desired result is
achieved.
TIP: Initially, heavier riders may want to
set the shock clickers 2-4 clicks
higher than lighter riders.
The standard clicker setting is 2
clicks from the softest position.
• Turn the clicker clockwise for a stiffer ride.
• Turn the clicker counter-clockwise for a softer ride.
Front Track Shock Spring Preload
Always perform shock spring preload adjustments with the weight of
the vehicle removed from the shock and with the shock at full extension.
Increasing spring preload will decrease ski-to-
ground pressure. Decreasing spring preload will
increase ski-to-ground pressure.
The initial preload setting is 2 inches (5 cm) from
body end to spring. To change shock spring pre-
load, grasp the spring retainer and rotate it.
Increasing the spring preload too much may
adversely affect the handling of the snowmobile
and the performance of the suspension. Never
exceed one inch (2.54 cm) of preload beyond the
factory settings.
When decreasing preload, make sure at least two
turns of preload are holding the spring between the
retainer on the top of the shock and the threaded
spring preload adjuster nut on the shock body.
Failure to do so could cause the retainer to fall off
when the suspension is fully extended.
TIP: Other spring options are available. Please see your POLARIS dealer.
