Front Suspension Adjustments WARNING THE PERFECT FIT Always verify ski alignment before making adjustments to the IFS. See page 116 to check alignment. If the skis are misaligned, see your dealer, as the camber adjustment may also be affected.

To determine if your machine is using full travel, push the jounce bumper down on the shock rod until it contacts the body and test ride the machine. The bumper will move up on the rod in relation to the amount of travel that was used during the ride. If the travel is full, the bumper will be seated at the top of the rod.

rod until it contacts the body and test ride the machine. The bumper will
move up on the rod in relation to the amount of travel that was used dur-
ing the ride. If the travel is full, the bumper will be seated at the top of
the rod.

The front springs can be
changed if spring preload
