Toe Alignment
Use the following procedure to check the toe alignment of the vehicle.
The recommended toe alignment is 1/8" to 1/4" (3-6 mm) toe out.
1. Position the vehicle on a
level surface.
2. Place the handlebars in a
straight-ahead position.
3. Tie a length of string
between two stands as
shown in the illustration.
Position the stands so
that the string is flush
with the side of the rear
tire.
NOTE:
If available, you may
use a long straight-
edge instead of string.
4. Measure the distance
from the string to the
rim at the front (1) and
rear (2) of the front rim.
The rear measurement should be 1/16"-1/8" (2-3 mm) more than the
front measurement on each side of the vehicle to obtain the recom-
mended 1/8" to 1/4" (3-6 mm) toe out alignment.
5. Repeat the measurement procedure on the other side of the vehicle.
NOTE:
If you discover improper alignment, see your Polaris dealer for service.
WARNING
Severe injury or death can result from improper toe alignment and adjust-
ment. Do not attempt to adjust tie rod alignment. All tie rod adjustments
should be performed by an authorized Polaris dealer.
