Steering and Suspensions
NOTE: Use the compression dampeners to control
suspension bottoming, not the spring preload
adjusters.
Turning the compression adjuster knobs clockwise will
i
ncrease resistance to bottoming, making the shock stiffer.
Turning the compression adjuster knobs counter-
clo
ckwise decreases resistance to bottoming, making the
shock softer.
NOTE: Riders at the far ends of each rear track
s
pring’s rider weight/preload settings may want to
adjust the compression dampener base settings.
Lighter drivers should decrease the dampening by
one click, while heavier riders may want to increase
the dampening by one to two clicks.
Rear Track Shock Thrust Bearing
2011 and newer 600/800 Rush/Switchback models
feature rear track shock retainers with a thrust bearing.
The bearing significantly reduces the effort required to
adjust the rear track shock spring.
The thrust bearing can be installed on 2010 models
(equipped w
ith original Walker Evans Shocks) by installing
the following parts:
• Spring Retainer - 5137540
• Thrust Bearing - 3514706
• Thrust Bearing Retainer - 5137541
• X-Brace (Indy Red) - 1017977-293 (Not Shown)
The addition of the thrust bearing on a 2010 Rush
incre
ases spring preload and requires the use of either a
tape measure or the 2011 spring gauge tools to set the
RTS spring length.
The 2010 tools can also be trimmed to 150.46mm as
sh
own below.
