Suspension Troubleshooting (Switchback)
Problem Solution (perform only one change at a time)
Rear suspension
bottoms too easily
S Verify sag dimension (see page 50). Adjust torsion spring
blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct
sag dimensions.
S Increase shock compression damping (see page 53).
Rear suspension
rides too stiff
S Check for binding suspen sion components and grease all
pivot points.
S Verify sag dimension (see page 50). Adjust torsion spring
blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct
sag dimensions.
S Decrease shock compression damping (see page 53).
Too much weight
transfer when
climbing
S Verify sag dimension (see page 50). Adjust torsion spring
blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct
sag dimensions.
S Move limiter strap on front torque arm to high position (see
page 51).
Too little weight
transfer when
climbing
S Verify sag dimension (see page 50). Adjust torsion spring
blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct
sag dimensions.
S Move limiter strap on front torque arm to low position (see
page 51).
Front end pushes S Check for worn skags
S Check for binding front suspension shafts and steering com-
ponents, grease all pivot points (elevate front of machine).
S Verify sag dimension (see page 50). Adjust torsion spring
blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct
sag dimensions.
S Increase IFS preload (see page 47).
S Move limiter strap on front torque arm to high position (see
page 51).
Steering is heavy S Check skags and skis for damage.
S Check ski alignment (see page 126).
S Make sure spindles and all steering components turn freely.
S Verify sag dimension (see page 50). Adjust torsion spring
blocks or install optional torsion springs to achieve correct
sag dimensions.
S Adjust IFS preload (see page 47).
S Adjust RIDER SELECT (see p age 31).
Machine darts from
side to side
S Ensure skis are properly aligned (see page 126).
S Check for binding front suspension shafts and steering com-
ponents, grease all pivot points (elevate front of machine).
S Ensure skags are straight on skis.
