Suspension Quick Set-Up Guide
Step 2: Adjust the rear spring to tune vehicle balance.
After the initial test ride, make adjustments to the rear shock spring to
improve vehicle balance. Increasing preload will increase ski pressure
and result in less weight transfer for flatter cornering and more precise
steering response. Decreasing preload will decrease ski pressure and
result in more weight transfer, or less weight on the skis when accelerat-
ing.
Ride Experience
Too much weight transfer
•Ski pressure is too light
•Skis push
Too little weight transfer
•Ski pressure is too heavy
•Steering is heavy
Step 3: Adjust shock clickers for ride quality.
After making spring adjustments, adjust shock clickers to control bot-
toming. Turning a clicker clockwise increases damping for a stiffer ride
and less bottoming. Turning a clicker counter-clockwise decreases
damping for a softer ride.
Test ride the snowmobile and continue making spring and clicker
adjustments until you achieve the perfect ride.
