THE PERFECT FIT
Front Suspension Adjustments
Shock Spring Preload
Increasing spring preload will increase
ski-to-ground pressure. Decreasing
spring preload will decrease ski-to-
ground pressure. When adjusting, be sure
the springs on both the left and right
sides of the machine are at the same
adjustment.
To change front shock spring preload,
grasp the spring and rotate it.
Increasing the spring preload too much
may adversely affect the handling of the
snowmobile and the performance of the
suspension. Never exceed one inch of
preload beyond the factory settings, and
ensure that both sides are adjusted the
same. When decreasing preload, make
sure at least two turns of preload are
holding the spring between the retainer
on the top of the shock and the threaded
spring preload adjuster nut on the shock
body. Failure to do so could cause the
retainer to fall off when the suspension is
fully extended.
