ADJUSTMENTS
Handlebars
The handlebars can be adjusted for rider preference.
1. Remove the upper headlight
pod.
2. Loosen the four handlebar
bolts.
3. Adjust the handlebar to the
desired height.
NOTE: 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" (3 mm) will
remain at the rear of the clamp
blocks.
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.
