Rear Track Shock Spring Settings
For riders who weigh 160-220 lbs (73-100 kg), test ride at factory settings, then make fine-tuning adjustments. See the following initial RTS Shock Preload Settings table.
For riders outside the 160-220 lbs (73-100 kg) weight range, adjust the factory-set preload to the following installed lengths as a starting point, then test ride before making fine-tuning adjustments. Do not exceed the minimum and maximum installed length requirements. See the following initial RTS Shock Preload Settings table.
Always perform shock spring preload adjustments with the weight of the vehicle removed from the shock and with the shock at full extension. If adjustments to the factory-installed springs are not sufficient for riders over 300 lbs (136 kg), optional stiffer springs are available. Your POLARIS dealer can assist.
For model equipped with high/low speed compression adjustment, see High/Low Speed Compression Adjustment.
Do not install accessory bogie wheels on the inside of the rail beams if your model is equipped with a remote reservoir rear track shock or damage will occur. The rail scratchers must first be removed as they interfere with the accessory bogie wheels.
