Steering and Suspensions
Front Track Shock (FTS) Factory Settings
To change the FTS spring preload, carefully tip the
snowmobile onto its left side to remove weight from the
front track shock. Grasp the spring and rotate it.
When decreasing FTS spring preload, make sure at least
two tur
ns 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.
When the snowmobile is not accelerating, Increasing FTS
s
pring preload will decrease ski pressure. Decreasing
FTS spring preload will increase ski pressure.
The compression dampener controls ride comfort/quality.
T
urning the adjuster towards the SOFT setting (counter-
clockwise) will make the ride quality less harsh, but may
cause the FTS to bottom out. Turning the adjuster towards
the STIFF setting (clockwise) will make the FTS stiffer.
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.
