FRONT SUSPENSION
1. Front springs for handling
Following are guidelines to fine-tune
suspension.
The best way to set up the suspension
is to start from factory settings, then
customize each adjustment one at a
time.
Front suspension adjustments and
rear
suspension
adjustments
are
interrelated.
It may be necessary
to readjust rear suspension center
spring after adjusting front suspen-
sion springs for instance.
Test run the snowmobile under the
same conditions; trail, speed, snow,
driver riding position, etc. Change one
adjustment and retest. Proceed me-
thodically until you are satisfied.
WARNING
Always remove the tether cord
cap (DESS key) before performing
any maintenance or adjustment,
unless otherwise specified. Vehi-
cle must be parked in a safe place,
away from the trail. Always lift the
front of vehicle off the ground with
a suitable lifting device before ad-
justing front suspension. Lift the
rear of vehicle off the ground with
a wide-base snowmobile stand
with a rear deflector panel before
rear suspension adjustment.
WARNING
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle by
hand alone. Use appropriate lift-
ing device to avoid risk of strain in-
juries. Always make sure the lift-
ing device is stable and secure be-
fore proceeding to adjust the sus-
pension components.
CAUTION:
Whenever
adjusting
rear suspension, check track ten-
sion and adjust as necessary.
Slight suspension bottoming occurring
under the worst riding conditions indi-
cates a good choice of spring preload.
NOTE:
Some models may come from
factory equipped with Take/Apart (T/A)
shocks. These can be rebuilt or recal-
ibrated. See an authorized SKI-DOO
dealer.
