MAINTENANCE

Toe Alignment

Do not attempt to adjust alignment. All steering adjustments should be 

performed by an authorized Polaris dealer.

Use the following procedure to check the toe alignment of the vehicle. 

The recommended toe alignment is 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.

Tip:

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 2-3 mm more than the front mea-

surement on each side of the vehicle to obtain the recommended 3-6 

mm toe out alignment.

5. Repeat the measurement procedure on the other side of the vehicle.
6. If you discover improper alignment, see your Polaris dealer for ser-

vice.
