THE PERFECT FIT
Suspension Adjustments
Independent Front Suspension and Front Track Shock
Spring Preload (RMK/PRO-RMK)
Factory settings, combined with user adjustments to the rear track shock
spring, should be all that’s necessary to provide the best riding experi-
ence for most riders. The primary adjustment for overall vehicle balance
is RTSS preload. Perform this adjustment first. See page 48.
After adjusting the preload, and if desired, additional adjustments can be
made to the independent front suspension and front track shock preload.
When adjusting the front suspension, be sure the springs on both sides
of the vehicle are at the same adjustment.
For a softer ride on rough, washboard surfaces, reduce front track shock
(FTS) spring preload by 1-2 turns.
To improve corner stability, increase front suspension (IFS) spring pre-
load by 1-2 turns on both sides of the vehicle.
NOTICE: IFS spring installed length must always be set at least 1/4 inch (6 mm)
less than the free length.
