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.
