Suspension Adjustment
The EDGE RMK and XTRA Lite suspension has been designed and set up to deliver a soft ride under average
riding conditions. Rider weight, riding styles, trail conditions, and vehicle speed each affect suspension action.
The suspension can be adjusted to suit rider preference and deliver excellent performance for a given set of condi-
tions. It should be noted, however, that suspension adjustments involve a compromise or trade off. A machine
set up to perform well in the moguls would not suit the preference of a groomed trail rider.

Adjustment Procedures
It is a good idea to break the suspension in for approximately 150 miles (240 km) and re-grease all suspension
parts before fine tuning adjustments are made.
All settings will vary from rider to rider, depending on rider weight, vehicle speed, riding style, and trail conditions.
We recommend starting with factory settings and then customizing each adjustment individually to suit rider pref-
erence. The machine should be methodically tested under the same conditions after each adjustment (trail and
snow conditions, vehicle speed,riding position, etc.) until a satisfactory ride is achieved. Adjustments should be
made to one area at a time, in order to properly evaluate the change.
The purpose of the front track shock coil spring is to control ride height and front IFS preload. If you find that in
order to obtain the desired ride effect the spring preload is over four additional washers (total of five), consider
removing the existing spring and installing the next highest rate spring.
