      Adrian Palmer MDAug 7, 2025
      If the rear suspension of your Polaris Offroad Vehicle bottoms out too easily, consider the following adjustments: Increase the FRA position (refer to the setup decal under the hood for the initial position). Increase the X-over tube length (check the setup decal under the hood). Increase the rear track shock coil spring preload and the front track shock coil spring preload. You might also consider changing to an optional stiff rear track shock compression spring or revalving the rear track shock compression damping (consult your dealer for these options). Finally, check the track tension.

      If the ride in the rear of your Polaris Offroad Vehicle feels too stiff, you can decrease the FRA position (see the setup decal under the hood). Also, decrease the rear track shock coil spring preload. Consider changing to an optional soft rear track shock compression spring or revalving the rear track shock compression damping (consult your dealer for these options). Don't forget to check the track tension.
