Toe Alignment Adjustment
If toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance between
vehicle center and each wheel. This will tell you which tie rod
needs adjusting.
NOTE: Be sure handlebars are straight ahead before
determining which tie rod(s) need adjustment.
To adjust toe alignment:
• Hold tie rod end to keep it from rotating.
• Loosen jam nuts at both ends of the tie rod.
• Shorten or lengthen the tie rod until alignment is as
required to achieve the proper toe setting as specified in
Method 1 or Method 2.
• IMPORTANT: When tightening the tie rod end jam
nuts, the rod ends must be held parallel to prevent rod
end damage and premature wear. Damage may not be
immediately apparent if done incorrectly.
• After alignment is complete, torque jam nuts to
specification.
Camber and Caster
The camber and caster are non–adjustable.
Suspension Spring Preload Adjustment
The front suspension preload may be adjusted to suit different
conditions and operator weight.
Front Suspension Set-Up
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Elevate the front of the vehicle by placing a suitable stand
under the frame.
NOTE: The tires should be barely touching the
ground and the suspension should be at full
rebound.
4. Measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the
lower front bumper bolt. Note this measurement for later
use.
5. Remove the support stand and have a rider sit comfortably
on the seat with hands on the handlebars.
6. Place the transmission in neutral and slowly roll the
machine forward and backward at least ten feet (3 m)
without lifting or pushing down on the suspension.
7. Turn the handlebars fully to the left and right.
8. With the rider still on the vehicle, repeat the measurement
performed in step 4.
CAUTION
During tie rod adjustment, it is very important that
the following precautions be taken when
tightening tie rod end jam nuts.
If the rod end is positioned incorrectly it will not
pivot, and may break.
Hold Rod End Level While Nut Is Tightened

WARNING
Uneven adjustment may cause poor handling of the
ATV, which could result in an accident and serious
injury or death. Always adjust both the left and right
spring preloads equally or have your Polaris
dealer perform the adjustments.
