WARNING
Changing shock valving requires special tools and a sound knowledge of
mechanical theory, tool use, and shop procedures to perform the work safely
and correctly. Shocks contain high-pressure nitrogen gas. Use extreme cau-
tion when handling high-pressure service equipment. We recommend that
this work be performed by a Polaris dealer.

Shock Compression Damping

make adjustments to the compression
damping. When adjusting, we recommend
that you turn the knob only one click (turn
the adjustment screw only slightly), then
test ride. Always adjust both shocks
equally.
