THE PERFECT FIT
IQ Front Suspension Adjustments
WARNING
Always verify ski alignment before making adjustments to the IFS. See
page 92 to check alignment. If the skis are misaligned, see your dealer,
as the camber adjustment may also be affected.
The tension at which the shock coil s pring is set is called spring
preload. For the best ride, the spring preload should be set as low as
possible to use the full travel of the ski shock, with occasional light
bottoming. To determine if your machine is using full travel of the ski
shock, push the o-ring travel indicator down as far as it will go on the
shock rod and test ride the machine. The o-ring will move up on the
rod in direct relation to the amount of travel. If the shock travel is full,
the bumper will be seated at the top of the shock.
