Following are guidelines to fine-tune

The best way to set up the suspen-
sion, is to s tart from factory set tings,
then customize each adjustment one
at a time. It m ay be necessary to
readjust center spring after adjusting
front springs for instance. Test run
the snowmobile under the same con-
ditions; trail, speed, snow, d river riding
position, etc. Change one adjustment
and retest. Proceed methodically un-
til you are satisfied.
