RMK SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT INTRODUCTION
The front suspension and rear suspension on the AXYS snowmobiles is incredibly easy to adjust. Just remember three
simple steps:
1. Ride the snowmobile.
2. Adjust the rear track shock spring to tune vehicle balance (ski pressure and weight transfer).
3. Adjust shock clickers (if equipped) to tune ride quality (stiffer or softer ride).
Step 1: Ride the snowmobile.
Ride the snowmobile in various terrain to fully experience the existing suspension settings before making any
adjustments.
Step 2: Adjust the rear spring to tune vehicle balance.
After riding the snowmobile, you should be able to determine if the snowmobile needs more or less transfer.
• For more transfer, decrease the rear track spring preload.
• For less transfer, increase the rear track spring preload.
If you prefer your snowmobile has lighter steering, decrease the rear track spring preload or increase the front track
shock spring preload.
Step 3: Adjust shock clickers for ride quality.
You can adjust the shock clickers to control bottoming and adjust ride comfort.
• Turning a clicker counter-clockwise decreases damping for a softer ride.
• Turning a clicker clockwise increases damping for a stiffer ride and less bottoming.
IMPORTANT
Always adjust the clicker at least one click below full stiff (full clockwise) or shock damage will occur.
Test ride the snowmobile and continue making spring and clicker adjustments until you achieve the perfect ride.
