THE PERFECT FIT
Suspension Adjustments
Factory settings, combined with user adjustments to the rear track shock
spring (RTSS), should be all that’s necessary to provide the best riding
experience for most riders. The primary adjustment for overall vehicle
balance is RTSS preload. Perform this adjustment first.
Always perform shock spring preload adjustments with the weight of
the vehicle removed from the shock and with the shock at full extension.
NOTICE: Never adjust spring preload to an installed length longer than the
maximum or shorter than the minimum lengths in the following chart.
Damage to the suspension could result. Never exceed one inch (2.54
cm) of preload beyond the factory settings. When decreasing preload,
make sure at least two turns of preload are holding the retainer
against the spring.
