Adjusting Skid Frame
Front Arm (Bearcat XT
Models)
On these models, the skid frame front arm
shock spring tension and the limiter straps
are adjustable. However, Arctic Cat rec-
ommends that the shock spring be main-
tained at the factory preset of 1/8-1/4 in.
preload. Tightening the skid frame front
arm shock spring may cause improper bal-
ance and may ruin the handling features of
the snowmobile.
The length adjustment of the front arm
limiter straps determines the weight dis-
tribution between the front of the skid
frame and the skis. Tightening the limiter
strap (shortening the strap) will pull up
on the front of the skid frame and will
increase ski pressure. Loosening the lim-
iter strap (lengthening the strap) lowers
the front of the skid frame and decreases
ski pressure.
When customizing the amount of ski
pressure, be sure to adjust both straps
equally and do not over-adjust the limiter
straps to adversely affect steering and
operator control of the snowmobile.
Some experimentation may be required
until the proper adjustment for the opera-
tor’s individual style is obtained.
NOTE: If the limiter straps are
adjusted, it is highly recommended
that at least a minimum of 1/8 in. pre-
load on the shock spring be main-
tained.
Adjusting Rear Spring Pre-
Load
Proper adjustment of rear spring pre-load
is necessary to get the most desirable
ride. The chart is designed to help in set-
ting up rear spring pre-load; however,
riding style is the single greatest factor in
determining rear spring requirements.
NOTE: These cam position set-
tings are suggestions only. Personal
riding style will greatly influence
cam position settings. Spend time to
determine setting preferences.
Rear spring pre-load adjustment is
accomplished by rotating the adjusting
cams. Position 3 provides the stiffest
ride, and position 1 is for the light driver
or slow-speed trail riding. Position 2 is
for the average operator under normal
conditions. Always rotate the cam from
the lighter position to the heavier posi-
tion.
! WARNING
Do not adjust the front arm limiter
straps to a point at which steering
and operator control of the snowmo-
bile are adversely affected.
