MAINTENANCE
Handlebars
WARNING
Improper adjustment of the handlebars or incorrect torquing of
the adjuster block tightening bolts can cause limited steering or
loosening of the handlebars, resulting in loss of control and
possible serious personal injury or death. Follow the adjustment
procedures exactly, or see your Polaris dealer for service.
The handlebars can be adjusted for
rider preference.
1. Remove the handlebar cover to
access the handlebar bolts (1).
2. Loosen the four bolts.
3. Adjust the handlebar to the
desired height. Be sure the
handlebars do not contact the
gas tank or any other part of the
machine when turned fully to
the left or right.
4. Torque the two front bolts to 10-12 ft. lbs. (14-17 Nm), then
torque the two rear bolts. A gap of up to 1/8” will remain at the
rear bolts.
