If it doesn't you'll be looking at problems handling and wearpart wise. The biggest thing is to get your c-c and distance from the top of the tunnel right, if you don't you're looking at troubles there too.

Just because the rear bumper is way up in the air doesn't mean it'll work better. NWGooser - post them up on the 97's they should be the same but im interested in the all measurements would be sweet.

This dot is on the longest end of the scissor stop. The preferred method for controlling weight transfer during acceleration is by adjusting the RRSS 1. The factory setting is the best for most trail riding conditions. To decrease weight transfer under acceleration — for improved cornering — rotate the RRSS to a higher position. To increase weight transfer or ski lift during acceleration, rotate the RRSS to a lower position. Your dealer can help you with initial setup and additional setup instructions to help you achieve your optimum ride.

A scissor stop tool is available from your dealer. To find a dealer near you, use the Dealer Locator. For more information, see your authorized Polaris Dealer.

To change shock spring preload, grasp the spring retainer and rotate it. See your Polaris Dealer for other spring options. Suspension Performance Tips Rider weight usually determines the position at which the spring preload should be set.

However, this may vary with riding style. With a little experimentation, each rider can find a preferred setup. These adjustments are easy to make, involve very little time or effort and greatly affect the ride. In deep snow, a new rail slide will offer improved performance over a worn rail slide. It also can improve top speed. Bogie wheel kits are available from your dealer. Polaris offers track kits for improved flotation in deep snow. See your dealer for assistance. Keep the suspension pivot points lubricated.

This will reduce moisture and rust buildup and ensure proper function of the suspension components. Grease rear suspension pivots before adjusting the rear suspension. For models equipped with monotube shocks, always adjust the rear torsion spring preload to enhance bottoming resistance. For models with shock clickers, you can adjust the clickers to control bottoming and adjust ride comfort.

Turn a clicker counter-clockwise to decrease damping for a softer ride. Turn a clicker clockwise to increase damping for a stiffer ride and less bottoming. NOTE Always adjust the clicker at least one click below full stiff full clockwise or shock damage could occur. Test ride the snowmobile and continue making spring and clicker adjustments until you achieve the perfect ride. NOTE Adding traction components, such as traction studs or additional ski skag carbides, or changing the factory equipped track, could change handling characteristics.

Addition setup may be required. Shock Locations. Rear Track Shock. Front Track Shock. Front IFS Shock. Shock Compression Damping. The primary adjustment for overall vehicle balance is torsion spring preload. Perform this adjustment first. After adjusting torsion spring preload to your satisfaction, compression damping adjustments can be made to control ride quality and bottoming resistance.

Compression damping can be adjusted at the front suspension and at the front and rear track shock. Make adjustments in 2-click increments, then test ride.

Seems like every time a ride a rough trail something comes back broken, and I come back very sore. Well after my last ride I decided to start looking for an xtra 10 or xtra lite. I bought an xtra 10 today that looks to be in good shape for 50 bucks and the guy gave me a xc or too.

Although Im not sure I wanted it there are some good parts on it. So I'm thinking I will just set the skid back 2. I'm hoping it wont mess with the geometry to much. Cheaper for me is better but if this is something people think will have a greatly adverse effect please let me know your opinions. Thank You.

Just invest in the small set of extensions, you'll be much happier with it. Thanks thats pretty much what I was thinking.
