THE PERFECT FIT

IQ Front Suspension Adjustments

Front Shock Spring Preload

The factory preload setting should be appropriate for most riders and

conditions. Please see your Polaris dealer for assistance before attempt-

ing to adjust preload.

Increasing the spring preload too much may adversely affect the han-

dling of the snowmobile and the performance of the rear suspension.

Decreasing the spring preload too much may allow the upper spring

retainer to fall off.

Shock Valving

RydeFX shocks can be revalved if spring preload alone isn't sufficient

and further adjustment is desired to control suspension stiffness.

Front Springs

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.

WARNING

Changing shock valving on RydeFX shocks requires special tools and a

sound knowledge of mechanical theory, tool use, and shop procedures to

perform the work safely and correctly. Shocks contain high-pressure nitro-

gen gas. Use extreme caution when handling high-pressure service equip-

ment. We recommend that this work be performed by a Polaris dealer.
