Rear spring preload has an effect on comfort, ride height and load
compensation.
Also, adjusting rear spring preload shifts more or less weight to the
snowmobile front end. As a result, more or less weight is applied to
the skis. This has an effect on performance in deep snow, steering ef-
fort and handling.
Slight suspension bottoming occurring under the worst riding condi-
tions indicates a good choice of spring preload.
