THE PERFECT FIT
Front Suspension Adjustments
The tension at which the shock coil spring 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 jounce bumper down as far as it will go on the shock
rod and test ride the machine. The bumper 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.

Always verify ski alignment before making adjustments to the IFS.
See page 103 to check alignment. If the skis are misaligned, see
your dealer, as the camber adjustment may also be affected.
