THE PERFECT FIT

EDGE 136 Rear Suspension Adjustments

Indy Select Rear Shock

Some snowmobiles are equipped with the Indy Select rear shock, which 

allows for adjustments to the compression valving. Locate the adjust-

ment screw near the base of the shock. In half-turn increments, turn the 

screw clockwise to increase compression valving and stiffen the ride, or 

counterclockwise to reduce compression and soften the ride. There are 

approximately three full turns of adjustment available. 

If bottoming continues after the screw has been turned fully clockwise, 

the torsion spring should be adjusted (see page 37). Return the screw to 

its original starting position after the torsion spring has been tightened.
