Rear Suspension Adjustments

Rider weight, riding style, trail conditions, and vehicle speed all affect suspension action.

Each rear suspension can be adjusted to suit rider preference and deliver excellent performance for a given set of conditions. However, all suspension designs and adjustments involve a compromise, or trade-off. For example, a suspension set up for snowcross racing would provide a very stiff ride on the trail. A suspension set up for trail riding would bottom out harshly on a snowcross course.

Refer to the suspension setup label on your snowmobile, or your POLARIS dealer can provide the initial suspension setup information. Additional adjustments can be made after initial setup. Make adjustments to one area at a time so you can evaluate the change. For further assistance, your dealer can assist.
