Suspension Performance Tips
Generally, rider weight determines the position at which the spring preload should
be set. However, this may vary with riding style. With a little experimentation, each
rider can find his or her best set-up. Remember, the adjustments are easy to make,
involve very little time or effort, and greatly affect the ride.
New hi-fax will offer improved performance over worn hi-fax in deep snow.
It is always a good idea to install a hood screen whenever operating in deep snow.
This will help keep the underhood area clean of snow and debris, and will prohibit
ice build up.
Polaris offers track kits designed for improved flotation in deep snow. Your dealer
can help you choose the correct kit for your machine.
When riding on ice or hard-packed snow, adding a set of bogie wheels to the rail
may enhance the machine’s performance. Bogie wheel kits are available from
your dealer.
IMPORTANT: Keep the suspension pivot points lubricated. This will reduce mois-
ture and rust build-up.
