Steering and Suspensions

Adjusting the IFS shock spring preload raises or lowers
the front vehicle ride height and either increases or
decreases ski pressure when not accelerating. Increasing
spring preload will also shift the vehicle balance towards
the rear. Decreasing the spring preload will lower the front
vehicle ride height and shift the vehicle balance towards
the front.
The compression dampeners control ride comfort/quality.
T
urning the adjusters towards the SOFT setting (counter-
clockwise) will make the ride quality less harsh, but may
cause the shocks to bottom out. Turning the adjuster
towards the STIFF setting (clockwise) will make the ride
quality stiffer.
Make equal adjustments to both shocks and only one to
two clic
ks at a time. Heavier riders may want to set the
compression clickers two to four clicks higher than lighter
riders.
Rebound Adjustment
Rush 800 LE models feature IFS shocks with rebound
adjusters.
The rebound adjustment clicker is
located at the bottom of
the shock rod. There are 16 possible settings. The initial
factory setting is 8 clicks.
Make equal adjustments to both shocks and only one to
two c
licks at a time.
• Turning the clicker clockwise (inwards) increases
rebound control and the s
hock will extend slower
after being compressed.
• Turning the clicker counter-clockw
ise (outwards)
decreased rebound control and the shock will
extend faster after being compressed.
Walker Evans™ Spring Retainers
Some Walker Evans™ shocks feature a spring retainer
and a lock collar. Apply one to two drops of RED thread
lock to lock collar threads after adjusting spring length on
these shocks.
