Steering Inspection

The steering assembly of the vehicle should be checked periodically for
loose nuts and bolts. Have your dealer tighten any loose nuts and bolts
before operating the vehicle.

Camber and Caster

The camber and caster are non-adjustable.

Handlebar Adjustment

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
possible serious personal injury or death. Follow the adjustment
procedures exactly, or see your Polaris dealer for service.
The handlebars can be adjusted for
rider preference.
1. Locate handlebar bolts (1) by
removing the upper headlight pod.
2. Loosen the four 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" will remain at the rear bolts.
Optional Suspension Springs
Although the Polaris Sportsman 6x6 suspension has the capability of
providing the best ride possible, the following accessory springs are
available to better suit individual riding preferences. NOTE: Optional
springs may be a different color than standard springs. Springs may be
painted to a desired color using Polaris touch up paint, available
