1. Rear springs adjustable cams for comfort and ride height
2. Center spring for steering behavior
3. Stopper strap for snowmobile weight transfer
4. Coupling blocks — Handling
5. Rear shock motion ratio — Damping strength (not adjustable on all models)
6. Front springs for handling (not shown)
Following are guidelines to fine-tune suspension.
The best way to set up the suspension, is to start from factory set-
tings, then customize each adjustment one at a time. Adjustments
2 through 6 are interrelated. It may be necessary to readjust center
spring after adjusting front springs for instance. Test run the snow-
mobile under the same conditions; trail, speed, snow, driver riding
position, etc. Change one adjustment and retest. Proceed method-
ically until you are satisfied.
WARNING
Always remove tether cord cap before performing any main-
tenance or adjustment, unless otherwise specified. Vehicle
must be parked in a safe place, away from the trail. Always
lift the front of vehicle off the ground with a suitable lifting de-
vice before adjusting ski suspension. Lift the rear of vehicle
off the ground with a wide-base snowmobile stand with a rear
deflector panel before rear suspension adjustment.
