FEATURES

RIDER SELECT Adjustable Steering System

The RIDER SELECT adjustable steering system (if equipped) allows 
you to adjust the handlebar position to fit your style of riding. Some 
models have five (5) adjustment positions. Other models have seven (7) 
positions.

WARNING! If your snowmobile has five adjustment positions, do not remove 
the RIDER SELECT lockout. Your POLARIS snowmobile has been engineered 
for this range of adjustability. Removing this lockout and using RIDER SELECT 
position 6 or 7 will result in the handlebars and brake lever contacting other 
components and interfering with steering and braking. This could lead to loss of 
control resulting in serious injury or death. Always be sure that the handlebars 
and brake lever do not contact any other snowmobile components at any 
steering position AND at any RIDER SELECT position.

Do not use RIDER SELECT positions 6 or 7 unless riding conditions require it. 
Operation in position 6 or 7 can reduce vehicle handling for other types of riding 
and result in serious injury or death.

Relaxed Trail Riding
Rider weight is slightly behind the center 
of the snowmobile for comfortable and 
relaxed riding.

4
5

General Trail Riding, Boondocking, 
Deep Snow Riding
Rider weight is centered on the snowmo-
bile, providing balance, comfort and con-
trol for both novice and experienced 
riders. This is the recommended position 
for most riding situations.

Snowcross/Steep Hill Climbing Only 
Rider weight is ahead of the center of the 
snowmobile, adding weight to the skis and 
making the snowmobile heavier in the 
front. These positions are ONLY for snow-
cross and severe hill climbing.

FEATURES

RIDER SELECT Adjustable Steering System

WARNING! Attempting to adjust the handlebar position while the snowmobile is 
moving could result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Always stop 
the snowmobile before attempting to adjust the steering system.

1. Stop the snowmobile.

2. Press the release button 

and move the handlebar 
forward or rearward to 
the desired position.

WARNING! Do not lubricate the RIDER SELECT mechanism. Doing so could 
cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. The RIDER SELECT 
mechanism is lubricated for life at the factory.

WARNING! Some aftermarket accessories (including windshields and cargo 
bags) may interfere with the handlebar. Such accessories could limit your ability 
to steer the vehicle and/or may contact the brake lever. This could lead to loss of 
control resulting in serious injury or death. Always be sure that accessories do 
not contact the handlebar or brake lever at any steering position and at any 
RIDER SELECT position.
