Handlebar Adjustments
Standard Handlebar
Follow these steps to adjust handlebar angle at the handlebar block.
1. Remove the mountain bar by
removing nuts.
2. Using a 7/16-inch wrench,
loosen the four nuts on the
bottom of the adjuster block
(turn the handlebar either left
or right for access to the rear
nuts). If necessary, pry the
blocks apart with a
screwdriver.
3. Adjust the handlebar to the
desired angle. Be sure the
handlebar, brake lever and
throttle lever operate
smoothly and do not hit the
gas tank, windshield or any
other part of the snowmobile
when the handlebar is turned
fully to the left or right.
4. Torque the front bolts first, then torque the rear bolts. Torque the
bolts to 11-13 ft. lbs. (15-18 Nm).
5. Reinstall the mountain bar.
Traction Products
Carbide Skags
A skag is a replaceable bar attached to the underside of the ski to assist
in turning the snowmobile and to prevent ski wear caused by contact
with roads and other bare terrain.
Inspect skags frequently. Worn skags may reduce steering and braking
control on hard-packed snow and ice. Replace worn skags to maintain
proper balance and vehicle control.
WARNING! Loss of control can result in serious injury or death. Proper balance
of traction products on the skis and track must be maintained to obtain proper
vehicle control on hard-packed snow or ice. See your dealer for assistance.
