THE PERFECT FIT
Front Suspension Adjustments
IFS Shock Compression Damping
Make adjustments to the shock clickers to control bottoming. Make the
adjustments in 1-to-2-click increments, then test ride. Repeat the adjust-
ment until the desired result is achieved.
TIP:
Initially, heavier riders may want to set the shock clickers 2-4 clicks higher
than lighter riders.
The standard clicker setting is 6 clicks
from the softest position.
°
Turn the clicker clockwise for a
stiffer ride (as viewed from the top).
°
Turn the clicker counter-clockwise
for a softer ride.
When adjusting, we recommend that
you turn the clicker only one or two
clicks, then test ride. Always adjust
both shocks equally.
Shock Valving
Some shocks can be revalved if spring
preload alone isn't sufficient and fur-
ther 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
caution when handling high-pressure
service equipment. We recommend that
this work be performed by a POLARIS
dealer.
