Guidelines to Adjust Suspension
The best way to set up suspension, is to start from factory settings
then customize each adjustment one at a time. Adjustments 2
through 7 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 methodi-
cally until you are satisfied.
CAUTION: Whenever adjusting rear suspension, check track ten-
sion and adjust as necessary.
Slight suspension bottoming occurring under the worst riding condi-
tions indicates a good choice of spring preload.
NOTE: Some models are equipped with Take/Apart (T/A) shocks.
These can be rebuilt or recalibrated. See an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
1. Rear Springs — Comfort and Ride Height
Grasp rear bumper and lift until suspension is fully extended. From
this point, rear of snowmobile should collapse by 50 to 75 mm (2 to
3 in) when driver and passenger (if so applicable) take place.
TYPICAL — PROPER ADJUSTMENT
A. 50 to 75 mm (2 to 3 in)
WARNING
Always completely stop vehicle and engine before attempting
any suspension adjustments.
