Widetrak Torsion Spring Adjustments - Polaris 2007 Two Stroke Service Manual

Widetrak Torsion Spring Adjustments

Rear spring adjustment is primarily a control for riding comfort.
To check for the recommended settings:
A
1. Lift the rear of the machine to relieve the rear springs.
2. Slowly lower the machine and measure the distance
between the ground and the running board.
3. Without letting the suspension settle, the rider should
carefully mount the snowmobile.
4. Measure the distance between the ground and the same spot
on the running board. The difference between the two
readings should be approximately 1 1/2" (3.8 cm). If the
difference is greater than 1 1/2" the rear spring should be
adjusted equally on both sides until the desired 1 1/2" drop
is obtained.
Compensating adjustments for heavy or light drivers or cargo
loads can be made by adjusting the rear spring eye bolt (A)
length. Adjust spring tension so there is equal tension on the
long leg of each spring.
NOTE: Rear spring settings will affect ski-to-ground
pressure. If ski pressure is too light it may be
desirable to tighten the rear springs for an increase
in ski-to-ground pressure.
