THE PERFECT FIT
Rear Suspension Adjustments
Suspension Performance Tips
• Rider weight usually determines the position at which the spring pre-
load should be set. However, this may vary with riding style. With a
little experimentation, each rider can find a preferred setup. These
adjustments are easy to make, involve very little time or effort, and
greatly affect the ride.
• In deep snow, a new rail slide will offer improved performance over
worn rail slide. It can also improve top speed.
• When riding on ice or hard-packed snow, adding a set of bogie wheels
to the rail may enhance the machine's performance. Bogie wheel kits
are available from your dealer.
• Polaris offers track kits for improved flotation in deep snow. See your
dealer for assistance.
NOTE:
Keep the suspension pivot points lubricated. This will reduce
moisture and rust build-up and ensure proper function of the
suspension components. Grease rear suspension pivots before
adjusting the rear suspension. See page 80.
Track Tension
Track adjustment is critical for proper handling. Always maintain cor-
rect tension and alignment. Refer to the track tension maintenance sec-
tion beginning on page 112.
