Toe Alignment
Use the following procedure to check the toe alignment of the vehicle.
The recommended toe alignment is 1/8
″
to 1/4
″
toe out.
1. Set the handlebars in a
straight-ahead position.
NOTE:
The steering frog
can be used as an indicator
of whether the handlebars are
straight. The frog should
always point straight back
from the steering post.
2. Place stands (1) in front of
the vehicle, perpendicular to
the rear tires. See
illustration.
3. Tie an elastic string around
the stands, making sure the
string just touches the side
surface of the rear tires on
each side of the vehicle and
goes around the stands in
front of the vehicle (2).
4. Measure the distance from
the string to the rim at the
front and rear of the front
rim (3). Rear measurement should be 1/16
″
- 1/8
″
(.2 to .3 cm)
more than the front measurement.
NOTE:
If you discover improper alignment, see your Polaris dealer
for service.
WARNING
Severe injury or death can result from improper toe alignment
and adjustment. Do not attempt to adjust tie rod alignment.
All tie rod adjustments should be performed by an authorized
Polaris dealer.
