THE PERFECT FIT Front Suspension Adjustments Independent Front Suspension (IFS) Factory settings, combined with user adjustments to the rear shock spring, should be all that's necessary to provide the best riding experience for most riders. If all rear shock spring adjustments have been exhausted and rider weight is at the very high or very low weight range for the stock spring, additional adjustments are possible to the IFS. Settings will vary from rider to rider, depending on rider weight, vehicle speed, riding style, and trail conditions. We recommend starting with factory settings and then customizing each adjustment individually to suit rider preference. The snowmobile should be methodically tested, one change at a time, under the same conditions (trail and snow conditions, vehicle speed, riding position, etc.) after each adjustment until the best ride is achieved. Break in the suspension for about 150 miles (240 km) before making adjustments to the front suspension. IFS Components 1. Skis 2. Front shocks and springs 3. Rod ends 4.

for the stock spring, additional adjustments are possible to the IFS.

tions, vehicle speed, riding position, etc.) after each adjustment until the
