THE PERFECT FIT Rear Suspension Adjustments Front Track Shock Compression Damping Make adjustments to the shock clicker to control bottoming. Make the adjustments in 2-click increments, then test ride. Repeat the adjustment until the desired result is achieved. TIP: Initially, heavier riders may want to set the shock clickers 2-4 clicks higher than lighter riders. Stiffer The standard clicker setting is 2 clicks from the softest position. • Turn the clicker clockwise for a stiffer ride. • Turn the clicker counter-clockwise for a softer ride. Softer Front Track Shock Spring Preload Always perform shock spring preload adjustments with the weight of the vehicle removed from the shock and with the shock at full extension. Increasing spring preload will decrease ski-toground pressure. Decreasing spring preload will increase ski-to-ground pressure. The initial preload setting is 2 inches (5 cm) from body end to spring. To change shock spring preload, grasp the spring retainer and rotate it. Increasing the spring preload too much may adversely affect the handling of the snowmobile and the performance of the suspension. Never exceed one inch (2.54 cm) of preload beyond the factory settings. When decreasing preload, make sure at least two turns of preload are holding the spring between the retainer on the top of the shock and the threaded spring preload adjuster nut on the shock body. Failure to do so could cause the retainer to fall off when the suspension is fully extended. TIP: Other spring options are available. Please see your POLARIS dealer. 54
