THE PERFECT FIT
Suspension Quick Set-Up Guide
The suspension on this snowmobile is incredibly easy to adjust to rider
weight and riding style. Just remember three simple steps:
1. Set up rear shock spring preload for rider weight.
2. Adjust the rear spring to tune vehicle balance (ski pressure and
weight transfer).
3. Adjust shock clickers to tune ride quality (stiffer or softer ride).
The following Quick Set-Up Guide walks you through what you need to
know to get started, and additional detail is available on the pages
immediately following the guide. See pages 48-49 for factory and initial
suspension charts for the standard spring as well as for accessory
springs that are available for heavier or lighter riders.
Step 1: Set up rear shock spring preload for rider weight.
Before riding for the first time, use the gauge supplied with your snow-
mobile to adjust rear spring preload to the appropriate setting for actual
rider weight.
Position the narrow end of
the gauge flush with the
spring retainer. Turn the
spring until the rider’s
weight setting aligns with
the junction of the shock
body and end cap.
Make no other suspension
adjustments at this time.
Test ride the snowmobile in
various terrain to fully expe-
rience the existing suspen-
sion settings before making
adjustments.
