THE PERFECT FIT

Front Suspension Adjustments

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 dur-

ing the ride. If the travel is full, the bumper will be seated at the top of

the rod.

Shock Components

The front springs can be changed if spring

preload alone isn't sufficient and further

adjustment is desired to control suspension

stiffness. See your Polaris dealer for more

information.

1. Retainer
2. Shock Rod
3. Jounce Bumper
4. Body
5. Threaded Spring Preload Adjuster Nut

WARNING

Always verify ski alignment before making adjustments to the IFS. See page

122 to check alignment. If the skis are misaligned, see your dealer, as the

camber adjustment may also be affected.
