Camber And Caster - Polaris Sportsman Forest 550 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE

Camber and Caster

The camber and caster are non-adjustable.
Front and Rear Springs
The front and rear shock absorber
springs are adjusted by rotating the
adjuster either clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or
decrease spring tension. Accessory
springs are available through your
POLARIS dealer.
Handlebars
The handlebars can be adjusted for rider preference.
Improper adjustment of the handlebars or incorrect torquing of the adjuster
block tightening bolts can cause limited steering or loosening of the handlebars,
resulting in loss of control and serious injury or death. Follow the adjustment
procedures exactly, or see your POLARIS dealer for service.
1. Remove the upper headlight
pod.
2. Loosen the four handlebar
bolts.
3. Adjust the handlebar to the
desired height. Be sure the
handlebars do not contact the
gas tank or any other part of
the machine when turned fully
to the left or right.
4. Torque the front two bolts to
10-12 ft. lbs. (14-17 Nm), then
torque the rear two bolts. A
gap of up to 1/8" (3 mm) will
remain at the rear of the clamp
blocks.
