ADJUSTMENTS Rear Spring Camber and Caster The camber and caster are non-adjustable. The rear shock absorber spring is adjusted by rotating the adjuster either clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease spring tension. NOTE: Accessory springs are available through your Polaris dealer. Adjuster Handlebars The handlebars can be adjusted for rider preference. WARNING Improper adjustment of the handlebars or incorrect torquing of the adjuster block tightening bolts can cause limited steering or loosening of the handlebars, resulting in loss of control and possible serious personal injury or death. Follow the adjustment procedures exactly, or see your Polaris dealer for service. 1. Remove the upper headlight pod. 2. Loosen the four handlebar bolts. 3. Adjust the handlebar to the desired height. NOTE: Be sure the handlebars do not contact the gas tank or any other part of the machine when turned fully to the left or right. 4. Torque the front two bolts to 10-12 ft. lbs. (14-17 Nm), then torque the rear two bolts. A gap of up to 1/8" (3 mm) will remain at the rear of the clamp blocks. Handlebar Bolts 120
