THE PERFECT FIT Suspension Adjustments Factory settings, combined with user adjustments to the rear track shock spring (RTSS), should be all that's necessary to provide the best riding experience for most riders. The primary adjustment for overall vehicle balance is RTSS preload. Perform this adjustment first. Always perform shock spring preload adjustments with the weight of the vehicle removed from the shock and with the shock at full extension. NOTICE: Never adjust spring preload to an installed length longer than the maximum or shorter than the minimum lengths in the following chart. Damage to the suspension could result. Never exceed one inch (2.54 cm) of preload beyond the factory settings. When decreasing preload, make sure at least two turns of preload are holding the retainer against the spring.
