ADJUSTMENTS
• Re-tighten anti-rotation bracket bolts (
3
) to 50
N•m [37 lb-ft] of torque. See Figure 17.
Figure 17
NOTE: Once the angle of attack on the rear systems
is set, verify once again to confirm the
adjustment.
BASIC TUNING
(Rear Track Systems)
• The adjustment is
incorrect
when the
stabilizing arm’s rubber cone is compressed
and deformed. The stabilizing arm’s spring is
then difficult or impossible to turn by hand.
TRACK SYSTEM REMOVAL
CAUTION: Leaving the anti-rotation anchor
brackets attached to the suspension arms, after
having removed the Track Systems, could cause
interference which might damage the vehicle.
Remove all Track System anti-rotation mechanism
components installed on the vehicle before
reinstalling the wheels.
ALIGNMENT
Parallelism must be adjusted with the ATV on the
ground, driving the vehicle forward about 3
meters [10 ft.] and measuring toe–in distance.
Refer to Figure 18.
NOTE: Every time the measurement has to be taken,
drive in reverse, then, drive forward again on
about 3 meters [10 ft.].
CAUTION: Verify condition of steering system
components
before
adjusting
parallelism.
Damaged components can prevent proper
adjustment and impair proper operation of the
system.
CAUTION: Parallelism adjustment of the front
Track Systems is very important and is directly
linked to the longevity of the system components.
Users must follow attentively the adjustment and
verification recommendations of this manual.

Adjustment Method
To adjust the ATV’s steering system, first loosen
coupling rod nuts (
1
), then screw or unscrew the
coupling rod (
2
) an equal number of revolutions
on both sides of the vehicle. Re-tighten nuts when
adjustment is complete. See Figure 19.
NOTE: Starting with an open alignment setting
provides a higher degree of precision in the
adjustment.
CAUTION: Remember that some nuts have reverse
threads before loosening a coupling rod nuts
(1)
on the vehicle's steering system. Make sure to
unlock the nut in the proper rotational direction.

NOTE: Once parallelism of front Track Systems is set,
verify once more to confirm adjustment setting.
Dimension A
must be equal to or greater than
dimension B
without exceeding
3 mm
[1/8 inch].
