SUSPENSION INSPECTION
Compress and release the suspension. Damping should
be smooth throughout the range of travel.
• Check all suspension components and mounting
fasteners for wear or damage.
• Inspect each shock body for leakage.
SUSPENSION SPRING PRE-LOAD
ADJUSTMENT
The front and rear shock absorber springs are
adjustable. Rotate the adjuster cam either direction to
increase or decrease spring tension. Always adjust both
sides equally.
1. Elevate the front or rear of the vehicle to allow the
suspension to fully extend.
CAUTION
Serious injury may result if machine tips or falls. Be
sure machine is secure before adjusting.
2. To adjust the suspension, rotate the adjustment cam
clockwise to increase spring tension or counter-
clockwise to decrease spring tension.
Operator weight and vehicle loading affect
suspension spring pre-load requirements. Use
Spanner Wrench (PN 2877408) to adjust pre-load as
necessary to avoid bottoming of the shocks.

FOX SHOCK SPRING PRELOAD
ADJUSTMENT
The front and rear shocks on EPS and International
models have a spring preload adjustment. Suspension
spring preload may be adjusted to suit different riding
conditions or vehicle payloads.
WARNING
Uneven adjustment may cause poor handling of the
vehicle, which could result in an accident and serious
injury or death. Always adjust both the left and right
spring preloads equally.

NOTE
Refer to the shock illustrations within this procedure for
spring preload measurement location.
The factory preload setting is appropriate for nearly all
riding conditions. Since this vehicle is equipped with full
skid plates, adjustment is not necessary.
If desired, the spring preload setting may be adjusted to
maintain vehicle clearance height when carrying loads.
1. Raise and safely support the front or rear of the
vehicle off the ground to allow the suspension to fully
extend.
2. Loosen the upper jam nut adjustment ring using the
spanner wrench (PN 2877408) included in the
vehicle’s tool kit.
