THE PERFECT FIT
M10 Suspension
Rear Compression Spring Preload - Dimension B
1. Using the spanner
wrenches in your tool kit,
rotate the x-over tube
assembly to achieve the
desired spring preload
setting. Be sure the
aluminum lock nut and
adjuster collar are locked
against each other before
starting adjustment.
2. While adjusting, keep in
mind that spring preload is
a FINE adjustment.
COARSE adjustments
should be made using the
FRA.
NOTE: Preload is set “softest” when the preload dimension (B) is
equal to zero. Adjusting spring preload beyond this could cause dam-
age to the threads.
X-over Tube Length - Dimension C
1. Use the spanner wrenches located in the tool kit to unlock the
upper lock nut from the adjuster collar.
2. Turn the adjuster collar to the appropriate or desired dimension for
the rider’s weight (refer to the initial setup reference chart located
under the hood of your snowmobile). Tighten the upper lock nut
firmly against the adjuster collar using the spanner wrenches.
NOTE: The correct setting of the x-over tube length enables the M10
to deliver superior performance in “bottoming” situations. This
adjustment has no effect on spring pre-load or general ride
characteristics of your M10 rear suspension, only bottoming resistance.
