Carbide To Ski Placement; Indy Select / Ryde Afx Ifs Shock - Polaris INDY TRAIL RMK Service Manual

BODY AND STEERING

Carbide to Ski Placement

A good starting point for placement of carbide is 50/50
(50% forward and 50% behind the ski mounting bolt). This
can be varied depending on the aggressiveness of the car-
bide and the strength of the driver. Make sure the leading
edge of the carbide has a small chamfer.
More carbide trailing will cause the machine to track
straighter, but steering effort will increase.
Indy Select / Ryde AFX IFS
Shock
Snowmobiles equipped with adjust-
able compression damping IFS
shocks, will allow the driver to make
adjustments to the compression
valving of the front shocks by turn-
ing the screws located near the
base of the shocks.
By turning the screw clockwise, the
compression of the shock is in-
creased, stiffening the ride. By turn-
ing counter clockwise, the com-
pression is decreased, softening
the ride. The factory setting is in the
softest position. (Screw all the way
out - counterclockwise). If bottom-
ing occurs, the compression damp-
ing should be used in conjunction
with the spring preload to achieve
the desired ride affect. 1/2 of a turn
will affect the ride considerably.
There are approximately 3 turns of
adjustment available.
