Suspension Performance Tips - Polaris Dragon Owner's Manual

Rear Suspension Adjustments

Suspension Performance Tips

• Rider weight usually determines the position at which the spring pre-
load should be set. However, this may vary with riding style. With a
little experimentation, each rider can find a preferred setup. These
adjustments are easy to make, involve very little time or effort, and
greatly affect the ride.
• In deep snow, a new rail slide will offer improved performance over
worn rail slide. It can also improve top speed.
• When riding on ice or hard-packed snow, adding a set of bogie wheels
to the rail may enhance the machine's performance. Bogie wheel kits
are available from your dealer.
• Polaris offers track kits for improved flotation in deep snow. See your
dealer for assistance.
NOTE: Keep the suspension pivot points lubricated. This will reduce
moisture and rust build-up and ensure proper function of the
suspension components. Grease rear suspension pivots before
adjusting the rear suspension. Refer to Suspension Mainte-
nance beginning on page 110.
Track Tension
Track adjustment is critical for proper handling. Always maintain cor-
rect tension and alignment. Refer to the track tension maintenance sec-
tion beginning on page 104.
