THE PERFECT FIT

Rear Suspension Adjustments

Front Track Shock Compression Damping

Make adjustments to the shock

clicker to control bottoming. Make

the adjustments in 2-click incre-

ments, then test ride. Repeat the

adjustment until the desired result

is achieved.

TIP: Initially, heavier riders may want to

set the shock clickers 2-4 clicks

higher than lighter riders.

The standard clicker setting is 2

clicks from the softest position.
• Turn the clicker clockwise for a

stiffer ride.

• Turn the clicker counter-clock-

wise for a softer ride.

Front Track Shock Spring Preload

Increasing spring preload will decrease

ski-to-ground pressure. Decreasing

spring preload will increase ski-to-

ground pressure.
The initial preload setting is 1 1/4 inches

(3.2 cm) from body end to retainer. To

change shock spring preload, grasp the

spring retainer and rotate it.
Increasing the spring preload too much

may adversely affect the handling of the

snowmobile and the performance of the

suspension.
When decreasing preload, make sure at

least two turns of preload are holding the

spring between the retainer on the top of

the shock and the threaded spring preload

adjuster nut on the shock body. Failure to do so could cause the retainer

to fall off when the suspension is fully extended.

TIP: Other spring options are available. Please see your Polaris dealer.
