NOTE!

The spring pre-load affects the ride height – it 
does not affect bottoming.
  You may need to increase the rebound damping 
slightly when using more spring pre-load than the 
delivered setting.
 If you experience the suspension bottoming 
out too often, do not increase spring pre-load. 
Your ride height might make your coupling 
adjuster run out of the range described above, 
thus creating a harsh ride. Instead, change to a 
stiffer spring and adjust your spring pre-load as 
described above.

Recommended Rear Ride height

- Pro Action suspension

With rider on the snowmobile, wearing all riding 
gear, we recommend the coupling adjuster free 
play to be equal in both directions

 

(see fi gure to 

the right)

, assuming that the coupling adjuster 

is in its standard setting.
  Increase or decrease the spring preload until 
you have reached the middle position of the 
coupling adjuster.
  If you carry heavy luggage, or a passenger on a 
2-seater, you will need to do these adjustments 
under these specifi c conditions.

Mono Shock suspension

Raise the rear end of the snowmobile slightly, 
but only until the drive track barely lifts off the 
ground. On the running board, mark with a pen 
just above the rear axle. Measure the distance 
from the marking on the running board to the 
ground (D1).

With a rider on the snowmobile, measure the 
distance from the same marking on the running 
board to the ground (D2).

Recommended rear ride height:
D1 - D2 = approximately 65 mm / 2.5 “

D2

  If you experience that the suspension is too stiff, 
do not decrease spring pre-load. It will not fi x your 
problem, and your ride height might make your 
coupling adjuster run out of the range described 
above, thus creating a harsh ride. Instead, change 
to a softer spring and again adjust your spring 
pre-load as described above.
