Before adjusting the spring preload, first measure
the ATV’s height, without rider, from the rear bumper
nut to the ground.
NOTE:
Lift the vehicle by the rear bumper. The
shock should be fully extended.
1. Rear bumper nut
A. Measure between rear bumper nut and ground
Next, sit the rider with gear on the ATV and mea-
sure the distance between the same two points.
CAUTION:
Add all other loads and accessories
before measuring the height of the vehicle with
the rider on. Do not exceed the total vehicle load
allowed.
Calculate the difference between the two lenghts.
If the vehicle’s height decreases more than 127 mm
(5 in), increase the preload by 3 mm (1/8 in) incre-
ments. If the vehicle’s height decreases of less than
102 mm (4 in), decrease the preload by 3 mm
(1/8 in) increments. The optimum adjustment range
is between 102 mm (4 in) and 127 mm (5 in) but, for
heavier or more aggressive riders, it could be be-
tween 76 mm (3 in) and 102 mm (4 in).
