THE PERFECT FIT
Front Suspension Adjustments
Always verify ski alignment before making adjustments to the IFS. See
page 92 to check alignment. If the skis are misaligned, see your dealer,
as the camber adjustment may also be affected.
The tension at which the shock coil spring is set is called spring preload.
For the best ride, the spring preload should be set as low as possible to
use the full travel of the ski shock, with occasional light bottoming. To
determine if your snowmobile is using full travel of the ski shock, push
the jounce bumper down as far as it will go on the shock rod and test
ride the snowmobile. The bumper will move up on the rod in direct rela-
tion to the amount of travel. If the shock travel is full, the bumper will
be seated at the top of the shock.
