THE PERFECT FIT

Rear Suspension Adjustments

Compression Damping

Low Compression Damping 
Force Adjustment

Increase the low compression 
damping force by turning the 
adjuster clockwise to increase the 
stiffness.

Decrease the low compression 
damping force by turning the 
adjuster counter-clockwise to 
increase the softness.

The maximum adjustment for this 
adjuster is the fully turned in 
position. The minimum 
adjustment is 28 clicks out from 
the maximum position.

CAUTION! Do not turn the adjuster 
past the minimum or maximum 
adjustment. The adjuster may be 
damaged.

THE PERFECT FIT

Rear Suspension Adjustments

Rebound Damping Force 
Adjustment (Rear track 
suspension only)

Increase the rebound damping 
force by turning the adjuster 
clockwise to increase the stiffness.

Decrease the rebound damping 
force by turning the adjuster 
counter-clockwise to increase the 
softness.

The maximum adjustment for this 
adjuster is the fully turned in 
position. The minimum 
adjustment is 16 clicks out from 
the maximum position.

CAUTION! Do not turn the adjuster past the minimum or maximum adjustment. 
The adjuster may be damaged.

Suspension Coupling

On all POLARIS snowmobile rear suspensions, there are two torque 
arms that control the movement of the rail beam. Prior to the advent of 
suspension coupling, these torque arms could move independently of 
each other. Rear suspension coupling links the movement of the front 
and rear torque arms to each other. There are two types of rear 
suspension coupling.

Rear Suspension Adjustments

Front Rear Scissor Stop (FRSS)

The front rear scissor stop (FRSS) couples the movement of the front 
torque arm with the rear torque arm and limits the amount of 
independence between the movement of the front torque arm and the 
rear torque arm.

When hitting a bump, the front torque arm starts to compress. The FRSS 
links that movement to the rear torque arm, causing it to compress and 
raise the rear suspension up as one, allowing the suspension to hit the 
bump only once and eliminating kickback. Your FRSS is preset at the 
factory.

Rear Rear Scissor Stop (RRSS)

The rear rear scissor stop (RRSS) couples the movement of the rear 
torque arm with the front torque arm and limits the amount of 
independent movement between the rear torque and the front torque 
arm.

Adjusting the RRSS either allows more weight to transfer to the rear for 
more traction, or allows less weight to transfer to the rear, resulting in 
improved cornering performance. An adjustment dot is located on the 
RRSS. This dot is on the longest end of the scissor stop. 

Rear Rear Scissor Stop - Attributes

Moving the RRSS to a higher position, or forward hole, will have the 
following effects on the suspension:

• Reduced weight transfer. 
• Improved chatter bump ride. 
• Improved cornering performance.

Weight Transfer During Acceleration

The preferred method for controlling weight 
transfer during acceleration is by adjusting the rear 
rear scissor stop. Use the scissor stop tool located in 
your tool kit to make the adjustments.

To decrease weight transfer under acceleration (for 
improved cornering), rotate the stop to a higher 
position.

To increase weight transfer or ski lift during acceleration, move the stop 
to the rearward upper position. The stop may also be rotated to a lower 
position for even more weight transfer if desired.

Low Position - This setting will 
increase weight transfer.

Medium Position - This setting is 
the production setting and will 
provide the best overall trail riding.

High Position - This setting will 
decrease weight transfer.

Rearward Upper Position 
(optional hole location) - This 
setting will increase weight transfer.

TIP: Your dealer can help you with initial 

setup and additional setup 
instructions to help you achieve 
your optimum ride.
