Problem Solution
Rear suspension bot-
toms too easily
• Adjust torsion spring preload (see page 33).
• Increase rear shock compression damping by turning screw
clockwise.
• Increase torsion spring wire diameter (see your dealer).
Rides too stiff in rear • Check for binding suspension shafts and grease all pivot
points.
• Adjust torsion spring preload (see page 33).
• Decrease rear shock compression valving by turning screw
counter-clockwise (if Indy Select shock)
• Change to lighter valving (if FOX shock)
• Check track tension (see page 88).
Too much weight
transfer when climb-
ing
• Adjust torsion spring preload (see page 33).
• Adjust limiter straps.
Too little weight
transfer when climb-
ing
• Adjust torsion spring preload (see page 33).

side to side
• Check ski alignment (see page 92).
• Make sure spindles and all steering components turn freely.
• Check for excessive play in steering assembly (see your
dealer).
• Ensure skags are straight on skis.
• Adjust torsion spring preload (see page 33).
• Check rail slide/replace if worn (see page 93).
• Reduce ski pressure: Reduce IFS spring preload or reduce
rear torsion spring preload.
