Shock Absorber Components - Polaris 2005 RMK 900 Owner's Manual

THE PERFECT FIT
IQ Front Suspension Adjustments
WARNING
Always verify ski alignment before making adjustments to the
IFS. See page 103 to check alignment. If the skis are misaligned,
see your dealer, as the camber adjustment may also be affected.
The tension at which the shock coil spring is set is called spring
preload. For the best ride, the suspension should be adjusted to use the
full travel of the shocks with occasional light bottoming. To determine
if your machine is using full travel, push the jounce bumper down on
the shock rod until it contacts the body and test ride the machine. The
bumper will move up on the rod in relation to the amount of travel that
was used during the ride. If the travel is full, the bumper will be seated
at the top of the rod.
