THE PERFECT FIT
Front Suspension Adjustments
IFS Shock Compression Damping
Make adjustments to the shock clickers to control bottoming. Make the
adjustments in 1-to-2-click increments, then test ride. Repeat the adjust-
ment until the desired result is achieved.
TIP:Initially, heavier riders may want to set the shock clickers 2-4 clicks higher
than lighter riders.
The standard clicker setting is 6 clicks from
the softest position.
• Turn the clicker clockwise for a stiffer ride
(as viewed from the top).
• Turn the clicker counter-clockwise for a
softer ride.
When adjusting, we recommend that you turn
the clicker only one or two clicks, then test
ride. Always adjust both shocks equally.
Shock Valving
Some shocks can be revalved if spring preload alone isn't sufficient and
further adjustment is desired to control suspension stiffness. Please see
your POLARIS dealer.
WARNING! Changing shock valving requires special tools and a sound
knowledge of mechanical theory, tool use, and shop procedures to perform the
work safely and correctly. Shocks contain high-pressure nitrogen gas. Use
extreme caution when handling high-pressure service equipment. We
recommend that this work be performed by a POLARIS dealer.
Rebound Clicker (800 LE)
The rebound adjustment clicker is located on the bottom end of the
shock. This adjuster has 16 possible adjustments. The factory setting is
8 clicks clockwise from full soft.
When adjusting, turn the clicker two clicks, then test ride. Always adjust
both shocks equally. Repeat the adjustment until the desired result is
achieved.
• Turn the clicker clockwise to slow rebound control (shock extends
slower).
• Turn the clicker counter-clockwise to increase rebound control (shock
extends faster).
