Maintenance
Front Suspension
Spring Preload
1. Raise and safely support the front of the vehicle off the
ground to allow the suspension to fully extend.
2. Loosen the jam nut and back it away from the adjusting
ring.
3. Turn the adjusting ring to the left (1) to increase preload
for a stiffer ride. Turn the adjusting ring to the right (2) to
decrease preload for a softer ride. See Suspension Set-
tings on page 152.
WARNING! Uneven adjustment may cause poor handling of the
ATV, which could result in an accident. Always adjust both the left
and right spring preloads equally or have your Polaris dealer
perform the adjustments.
4. Tighten the jam nut firmly against the adjuster ring.
