Suspension Quick Set-Up Guide

The front and rear suspensions on your Matryx snowmobile are easy to adjust. Just remember three simple steps:

  1. Ride your snowmobile.

  2. Adjust the rear track shock spring to tune vehicle balance (ski pressure and weight transfer).

  3. Adjust shock clickers (if equipped) to tune ride quality (stiffer or softer ride).

Step 1: Ride your snowmobile.

Ride the snowmobile in various terrain to fully experience the existing suspension settings before making any adjustments.

Step 2: Adjust the torsion spring settings to tune vehicle balance.

After riding, you should be able to determine if the snowmobile needs more or less transfer.

  • For more transfer, decrease the torsion spring setting.

  • For less transfer, increase the torsion spring setting.

If you prefer your snowmobile has lighter steering, decrease the torsion spring setting or increase the front track shock spring preload.

Step 3: Adjust shock clickers (if equipped) for ride quality.

For models equipped with monotube shocks, always adjust the rear track shock spring preload to enhance bottoming resistance.

For models with shock clickers, you can adjust the clickers to control bottoming and adjust ride comfort.

  • Turn a clicker counter-clockwise to decrease damping for a softer ride.

  • Turn a clicker clockwise to increase damping for a stiffer ride and less bottoming.

NOTICE

Always adjust the clicker at least one click below full stiff (full clockwise) or shock damage will occur.

Test ride the snowmobile and continue making spring and clicker adjustments until you achieve the perfect ride.
