TYPICAL
1. Adjustment holes (stopper strap)
NOTE:
Decreasing the stopper strap
length may reduce comfort. If too
much weight transfer is felt, try to cor-
rect it by adjusting the coupling blocks
first.
When operating the snowmobile in
deep snow, it may be necessary to vary
stopper strap length and/or riding posi-
tion, to change the angle at which the
track rides on the snow. Operator's fa-
miliarity with the various adjustments
as well as snow conditions will dictate
the most efficient combination.
Generally, a longer stopper strap set-
ting gives better performance in deep
snow on a flat landscape.
Rear Springs
Rear spring preload has an effect on
comfort, ride height and load compen-
sation.
Also, adjusting rear spring preload
shifts more or less weight to the snow-
mobile front end. As a result, more or
less weight is applied to the skis. This
has an effect on performance in deep
snow, steering effort and handling.
Slight suspension bottoming occurring
under the worst riding conditions indi-
cates a good choice of spring preload.
