Steering and Suspensions
Independent Front Suspension (IFS) Shock
Settings
To change the IFS shock preload/installed spring height,
raise the front of the snowmobile up and off the ground to
remove the weight from the front suspension. Grasp the
spring and rotate it. Increasing IFS shock spring preload
too much may adversely affect the handling of the
snowmobile and the performance of both the front and
rear suspensions. Never exceed one inch (2.54 cm) of
adjustment beyond the factory setting.
When decreasing IFS shock spring preload, make sure at
le
ast two turns of preload are holding the spring retainer
against the spring. Failure to do so may cause the retainer
to fall out when the shock is fully extended.
Adjust shock spring settings with all weight removed
from shock. Safely raise or tilt the snowombile off the
ground before making adjustments.
Verify at least two turns of preload are holding the spring
retainer against the spring.
