FRONT SUSPENSION
1. Front springs for handling
Following are guidelines to fine-tune
suspension.
The best way to set up the suspen-
sion, is to start from factory settings,
then customize each adjustment one
at a time. Adjustments 2 through 6
are interrelated. It may be necessary
to readjust center spring after adjust-
ing front springs for instance. Test run
the snowmobile under the same con-
ditions; trail, speed, snow, driver riding
position, etc. Change one adjustment
and retest. Proceed methodically un-
til you are satisfied.
