MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Adjustments

Steering Inspection

The steering assembly of the vehicle should be checked periodically for

loose nuts and bolts. Have your dealer tighten any loose nuts and bolts

before operating the vehicle.

Camber and Caster

The camber and caster are non-adjustable.

Handlebar Adjustment

The handlebars can be adjusted for rider preference.

WARNING

Improper adjustment of the handlebars or incorrect torquing of

the adjuster block tightening bolts can cause limited steering or

loosening of the handlebars, resulting in loss of control and

possible serious personal injury or death. Follow the adjustment

procedures exactly, or see your Polaris dealer for service.

1. Locate handlebar bolts (1) by

removing the upper headlight pod.

2. Loosen the four bolts.
3. Adjust the handlebar to the desired

height. Be sure the handlebars do

not contact the gas tank or any

other part of the machine when

turned fully to the left or right.

4. Torque the front two bolts to 10-12 ft. lbs. (14-17 Nm), then torque

the rear two bolts. A gap of up to 1/8” will remain at the rear bolts.

Optional Suspension Springs

Although the Polaris Sportsman 6x6 suspension has the capability of

providing the best ride possible, the following accessory springs are

available to better suit individual riding preferences.

NOTE: Optional springs may be a different color than standard

springs. Springs may be painted to a desired color using

Polaris touch up paint, available through Polaris dealers.
