Suspension Troubleshooting

X-10 and Edge

Problem

Solution (perform only one change at a time)

 

 

Rear suspension

-Increase torsion spring preload

bottoms too easily

-Increase rear shock compression damping by turning screw

 

clockwise

 

-Increase torsion spring wire diameter (see your dealer)

 

 

Rides too stiff in

-Check for binding suspension shafts and grease all pivot points

rear

-Decrease torsion spring preload adjustments

 

-Decrease rear shock compression valving by turning screw

 

counterclockwise (if equipped with optional Indy Select shock)

 

-Change to lighter valving if (if equipped with Foxshocks)

 

-Check for proper track tension

 

 

Machine darts from

-Make sure skis are aligned properly

side to side

-Make sure spindles and all steering components are free turning

 

-Make sure skags are straight on skis

 

-Check Hi-fax and replace if worn

 

-Reduce ski pressure:

 

SReduce IFS spring preload

 

SReduce rear torsion spring preload

 

 

Front end pushes

-Check for worn skags

 

-Check for binding suspension shafts and grease all pivot points

 

-Increase IFS spring preload by adjusting cam or threaded ad-

 

juster

 

-Decrease front limiter strap length

 

 

Steering is heavy

-Check ski alignment

 

-Check skags and skis for damage

 

-Reduce ski pressure:

 

SIncrease front track spring preload

 

SReduce IFS spring preload by adjusting cam

 

SReduce rear torsion spring preload

 

 

Setting up for deep

-Change worn Hi-fax

snow operation

-Move front track shock assembly to upper position
