SUSPENSION QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
The front and rear suspensions on your snowmobile are easy to adjust. Just remember three simple steps:
Step 1: Ride your snowmobile.
Ride the snowmobile in various terrain to fully experience the existing suspension settings before making any
adjustments.
Step 2: Adjust the torsion spring to tune vehicle balance.
After riding, you should be able to determine if the snowmobile needs more or less transfer.
• For more transfer, decrease the torsion spring preload.
• For less transfer, increase the torsion spring preload.
If you prefer your snowmobile has lighter steering, decrease the torsion spring preload or increase the front track
shock spring preload.
Step 3: Adjust shock clickers (if equipped) for ride quality.
For models equipped with monotube shocks, always adjust the rear torsion spring preload to enhance bottoming
resistance.
For models with shock clickers, you can adjust the clickers to control bottoming and adjust ride comfort.
• Turn a clicker counter-clockwise to decrease damping for a softer ride.
• Turn a clicker clockwise to increase damping for a stiffer ride and less bottoming.
NOTICE
Always adjust the clicker at least one click below full stiff (full clockwise) or shock damage could occur.
Test ride the snowmobile and continue making spring and clicker adjustments until you achieve the perfect ride.
NOTICE
Adding traction components, such as traction studs or additional ski skag carbides, or changing the factory equipped
track, could change handling characteristics. Additional setup may be required.
