THE PERFECT FIT

IQ Front Suspension Adjustments
Break in the suspension for approximately 150 miles (240 km) before
making any fine-tuning adjustments.
Settings will vary from rider to rider, depending on rider weight,
vehicle speed, riding style, and trail conditions. We recommend
starting with factory settings and then customizing each adjustment
individually to suit rider preference. The machine should be
methodically tested, one change at a time, under the same conditions
(trail and snow conditions, vehicle speed, riding position, etc.) after
each adjustment until the best ride is achieved.
Independent Front Suspension (IFS)
The IFS is made up of the
skis (1), front shocks and
springs (2), and the components
that connect these parts to both
the steering, such as the tie rods
(3), and to the machine itself,
such as the upper and lower
control arms (4). Front
suspension adjustments include
2
shocks, springs, toe, and camber.
