Handlebars
WARNING
Improper adjustment of the handlebars or incorrect torquing of
the adjuster block tightening bolts can cause limited steering or
loosening of the handlebars, resulting in loss of control and
possible serious personal injury or death. Follow the adjustment
procedures exactly, or see your Polaris dealer for service.
The handlebars can be adjusted for
rider preference.
1. Locate handlebar bolts (1) by
removing the upper headlight pod.
2. Loosen the four bolts.
3. Adjust the handlebar to the desired
height. Be sure the handlebars do not
contact the gas tank or any other part of
the machine when turned fully to the left or right.
4. Torque the front two bolts to 10-12 ft. lbs. (14-17 Nm), then torque
the rear two bolts. A gap of up to 1/8” will remain at the rear of
the clamp blocks.
