THE PERFECT FIT Shock Damping Front Suspension Adjustments Adjustments to the compression stiffness of Indy Select shocks can be made by turning the adjustment screw located near the base of the shock (+). This adjustment is the easiest to perform and it should be considered first. A clockwise adjustment will increase stiffness in both styles of shock, but there are some differences. + Indy Select Shock The factory setting for this shock is the softest position, with the adjusting screw all the way out (counterclockwise). If bottoming occurs, the Indy Select feature should be used to achieve the desired ride. The shocks have a wide range of adjustment capability. By turning the screw clockwise, the compression of the shock increases, stiffening the ride. When adjusting these shocks, we recommend that you turn the screw only 1/4 turn at a time, then test ride. Always adjust both shocks equally. Front Springs For models without externally adjustable or revalvable shocks, the front springs can be changed if spring preload alone isn't sufficient and further adjustment is desired to control suspension stiffness. See your Polaris dealer for more information. 30
