Some shocks can be revalved if spring preload alone isn't sufficient and
further adjustment is desired to control suspension stiffness. Please see
your Polaris dealer.
WARNING
Changing shock valving 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 nitrogen gas. Use extreme cau-
tion when handling high-pressure service equipment. We recommend that
this work be performed by a Polaris dealer.
