TROUBLESHOOTING
IQ/Switchback Suspension Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Rear suspension bot-
toms too easily
Adjust torsion spring preload to achieve proper static sag
(see page 46).
Change torsion spring to stiffer optional spring (see your
dealer).
Revalve rear track shock (see your dealer).
Rides too stiff in rear
Check for binding suspension shafts and grease all pivot
points.
Adjust torsion spring preload to achieve proper static sag
(see page 46).
Change torsion spring to softer optional spring (see your
dealer).
Check track tension (see page 108).
Too much weight
transfer when climb-
ing
Set static sag (see page 46). Adjust torsion spring blocks or
install optional torsion springs to achieve correct sag.
Adjust limiter straps (see page 49).
Too little weight
transfer when climb-
ing
Set static sag (see page 46). Adjust torsion spring blocks or
install optional torsion springs to achieve correct sag.
Adjust limiter straps (see page 49).
Machine darts from
side to side
Check ski alignment (see page 112).
Make sure spindles and all steering components turn freely.
Check for excessive play in steering assembly (see your
dealer).
Ensure skags are straight on skis.
Set static sag (see page 46).
Check rail slide/replace if worn (see page 114).
Install Accu-Trak dual skags (see your dealer).
Front end pushes
Check for worn skags.
Set static sag (see page 46).
Check for binding front suspension shafts and steering
components, grease all pivot points (elevate front of
machine).
Increase IFS preload (if equipped) (see page 42).
Install single skag (see your dealer).
Rotate RRSS to high position (see page 53).
Steering is heavy
Make sure spindles and all steering components turn freely.
Check ski alignment (see page 112).
Check skags and skis for damage.
Set static sag (see page 46).
