FRONT TRACK SHOCK SPRING SETTINGS
Factory settings, combined with
user adjustments to the rear track
shock spring (RTSS), should be
all that’s necessary to provide the
best riding experience for most
riders. The primary adjustment
for overall vehicle balance is
RTSS preload. Perform this
adjustment first.
Always perform shock spring preload adjustments with the weight of the vehicle
removed from the shock and with the shock at full extension.
NOTICE
Never adjust spring preload to an installed length longer than the factory length
or shorter than the minimum length as shown in the following chart. Damage to
the suspension could result. When decreasing preload, make sure at least two
turns of preload are holding the retainer against the spring.
The front track shock is measured from the bottom of the spring to the top of the
body cap.
