THE PERFECT FIT

Rear Suspension Adjustmments

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. See page 84.

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 118.
