TUNE YOUR RIDE
Slight suspension bottoming occurring
under the worst riding conditions indi-
cates a good choice of spring preload.
Rear Springs Preload
Rear spring preload has an effect on
comfort, ride height and load compen-
sation.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that all ob-
jects to be transported are in place in
rear rack and under the seat.
– Grab rear bumper and lift until sus-
pension is fully extended.
– From this point, rear of snowmo-
bileshouldcollapseby50to75mm
(2 to 3 in) when driver, passenger (if
so applicable) and load take place.
– Measure at rear bumper as shown
in next illustration.

Suspended Extension
Adjustment
Suspended extension can be adjusted
according to the load and snow condi-
tions.
For better deep snow performance
or to increase reverse performance in
deep snow, first loosen lock nut, then
tighten nut 3/4 turn after contacting
washers. Retighten lock nut. Adjust
